Chapter 427: Is That Versailles?

Jiang Bin is not reluctant to go to Hollywood, but he just doesn't want his movies to be swayed by capital.

He makes movies in China, and it is difficult for investors to intervene.

Even if you want to stuff an actor, you have to discuss with Jiang Bin with good words, and whether you succeed or not depends on whether the actor is suitable or not.

As for the filming of the film or something, it is even more inadequate.

But when it comes to Hollywood, it's obviously different.

It is said that several times a Hollywood company approached him to cooperate, but he gave up because of differences of opinion between the management and him, and did not negotiate.

Jiang Bin can hear it, but he is also very stubborn, if you don't convince him, then you have to do what he wants.

Otherwise, one shot and two scattered.

Zhang Sheng came to Hollywood, why did he bring money?

Naturally, there are reasons for this.

He clearly didn't want to tie his hands either.

The award ceremony began shortly.

For example, at the Golden Dragon Awards, "Inception" made a good start.

Won the award for best acoustics.

This became the first Oscar for a Chinese-language film.

Subsequently, it won the award for Best Visual Effects, as well as the sound cut.

Then it won Best Cinematography.

Straight to win four awards.

It's just that these four awards are all technical awards.

However, Hollywood film technology leads the world, and it is undoubtedly rare for a Chinese film to win so many awards.

Maybe it doesn't have enough weight in China.

But if you take it at Oscar, you can imagine the weight.

However, Inception's good fortune seems to be over here.

Best Original Screenplay, Best Art Direction, and Best Score were not won.

Zhang Sheng was shortlisted for two awards, but neither of them won the award.

Personally, it was empty-handed.

However, this is also to be expected.

Now it depends on whether the Best Foreign Language Film Award can be won.

As for the best picture, Zhang Sheng didn't have the luxury of expecting it.

The winner of the XX Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film is: "Inception" from China! Congratulations"

When Zhang Sheng heard this, he smiled.

The crew of "Inception" also cheered instantly.

Domestically, it exploded in an instant on the Internet.

The four technical awards won before have already made domestic fans happy.

Now that it has won the heavier Best Foreign Language Film Award, you can imagine how excited domestic fans will be.

Zhang Sheng came to the stage with a smile.

Although this is a collective award, it is none other than Zhang Sheng who best represents all the main creators of this movie.

He is not only a screenwriter and director, but also the film's largest investor and producer.

"Thank you."

"It's a great pleasure to receive this award, which is a great recognition to all the crew of Inception, and we will work even harder to bring better movies to our fans. I hope that more Chinese-language films will be able to leave their presence on the Oscar stage in the future."

In addition to the initial thanks, Zhang Sheng's acceptance speech was in English, and the following testimonials were in Chinese.

may be indicating the identity of a Chinese-language filmmaker.

And when he took the stage to accept the award, the news that "Inception" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film had already been on the hot search, and it went straight to the top.

The impact is not only expanding.

This seems to be a big breakthrough in Chinese cinema.

It is indeed a major breakthrough.

The Oscars finally have a Chinese-language film figure.

And this time not only one award, but five.

As for the best picture in the end?

Many people are looking forward to it, but they all think it's unlikely.

It's not because "Inception" is bad, but this movie is a Chinese-language movie.

In the eyes of many people, Chinese-language films are not very popular with the Oscars, and "Farewell My Concubine", which won the Cannes Palme d'Or, failed to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Of course, it could also be the reason for competitors.

And this time, "Inception" actually won five awards for the first time.

If it is the best film, it will not be unprecedented, but even the dream will be broken.

I didn't do that in my daydreams.

And that's exactly what happened.

"Inception" did not win this Oscar for Best Picture.

However, Zhang Sheng had already prepared for this.

In fact, this movie can win so many awards, which is already a bit beyond Zhang Sheng's expectations.

Shortlisted for nine awards and won five.

More than half of the winning rate.

Although there are four awards for technology, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Actress and other awards, "Inception" was shortlisted for Best Picture, and it hasn't won it yet, and the others haven't even been nominated, but it's already very eye-catching.

did not win a more concerned award, but the five awards were the most won at this Oscar.

In addition, it is another Chinese-language movie, which is even more conspicuous.

After the award ceremony, Zhang Sheng undoubtedly became the focus of media interviews.

However, what Zhang Sheng didn't expect was that a media reporter asked him when he would release a music album.

"Lately, my focus has been on film." Zhang Sheng replied with a smile, "As for the music album, I haven't considered it for the time being. ”

This question obviously shows that Zhang Sheng's fame in the North American music industry is greater than his fame in the film industry.

Even now his films have won an unprecedented five Oscars.

After the award ceremony, Zhang Sheng did not return to China by plane immediately, but took the main creator of the crew to the dinner.

At the dinner, socializing was indispensable, I met a lot of "friends", drank a lot of wine, and had to change my itinerary and stayed for one night before returning to my country.

Even if the flight was changed, after the group returned to China, the airport was still blocked by countless media.

Returning home with five Oscars can be said to be a return with honor, and now it has become the hottest topic in the entertainment industry, and media reporters will not let it go.

Many celebrities have posted congratulations on Weibo.

The degree of discussion among fans is amazing.

Of course, not everyone is hot.

This matter is definitely not a trivial matter for the Chinese film industry.

Its popularity is much greater than when "Farewell My Concubine" won the Cannes Palme d'Or.

Of course, in addition to the award itself, it is not unrelated to the popularity of the main creative lineup.

And "Inception" became popular again on the Internet, and the single-day clicks on video sites all rushed into the top three.

"Director Zhang, "Inception" won five Oscars, how do you feel, can you share it with you?"

Zhang Sheng and the others were surrounded by a group of media before they left the airport.

"Naturally, I'm in a good mood." Zhang Sheng said, "But you are so around, our mood is gradually getting worse!" Understand, we were a little tired after more than ten hours on the plane. What's more, you guys are so blocked and it will affect the order of the airport. ”

Zhang Sheng said this, how could those media reporters disperse.

Who doesn't want to get first-hand information?

You're tired from flying for more than ten hours, so it's easy for us to stay here?

You understand.

"Director Zhang, let's talk about it, for the sake of us waiting here for so long, we can't let us go home empty-handed! Understand, eat with a mouthful. It's hard for us too. ”

Some reporters began to play the emotional card and pretend to be pitiful.

And Zhang Sheng sometimes really eats soft rather than hard.

Of course, the main thing is that the journalists do not disperse, and if they force them to leave, I am afraid that it will cause chaos.

"Inception won five Oscars, except for Best Foreign Language Film, the rest were technical awards." Zhang Sheng said, "But this does not mean that domestic film technology has caught up with Hollywood." ”

"Whether it is technology or other aspects, domestic films are still a long way from Hollywood." Zhang Sheng continued, "I'm not an adult who is determined to destroy his prestige. As a Chinese filmmaker, you should have a clear understanding. ”

"For us Chinese filmmakers, we still have a lot to work on. And we will continue to work hard to continuously improve Chinese films."

"Although Inception has achieved good results, it is far from enough."

"So, don't make a big deal of it in the media. If we're inflated, it's your fault! ”

Zhang Sheng said a lot, but the media reporters were still not satisfied.

However, the company picked up the person arrived, and the airport personnel also arrived.

When Zhang Sheng and the others left the airport, those media reporters naturally dispersed.

And Zhang Sheng's speech at the airport also spread quickly.

It also sparked a lot of heated discussions.

is not proud of winning awards, and has a very clear understanding of the gap between domestic films and Hollywood movies.

It's still very appealing.

Of course, some people ridiculed that Zhang Sheng was not modest, but Versailles.

After winning four technical awards, what is it not Versailles?

The topic immediately extended to a heated discussion about how big the gap between Chinese films and Hollywood movies is.

There is definitely a gap.

Whether it is film technology or film mechanism, it is an indisputable fact that Hollywood leads the world.

There is a big gap between domestic films and them in many places.

However, it is clear that these gaps are narrowing.

For example, special effects technology.

In the past, Hollywood's special effects were a major business card that sold well all over the world.

But the special effects in today's Chinese movies are not necessarily worse than those in Hollywood.

For example, "Inception".

The reason why there are few such movies is not that the technology can't keep up, but that the production cost is high.

The investment in Chinese films is not as good as that of Hollywood, and the production cost of special effects is naturally limited.

The market is not up, and I don't dare to play big productions!

The reason why Hollywood has so many big productions is not only backed by North America, the largest film market, but also because they have perfect global distribution channels.

Chinese-language films are obviously lacking in this.

Not everyone dares to make movies like Zhang Sheng.

How big the pot is, how much rice to put in.

Of course, as the Chinese film market continues to expand, Chinese blockbusters will definitely gradually increase.

Zhang Sheng returned to China, and the invitations continued, and there were not many media and programs that wanted to interview him.

However, he pushed it.

He devoted himself to the filming of "Transformers".

Zhang Sheng no longer appears in front of the public, but the popularity of winning the award is too high, and the other main creators of "Inception" have naturally become the focus of major media and programs.

Among them, the most high-profile person is naturally Peng Yuqian.

It's not that he benefits the most, but that "Ex", which he starred in, is about to be released.

It's just a matter of promoting the movie with this popularity.
