Chapter 490: Several Movies, Go Together

Next to them, these international directors are still talking in a relaxed mood.

Laughing and laughing at each other.

"Robbie, your "Flowers Bloom" will be broadcast in the second half of the year, right? It seems that next year's Palme d'Or will be yours. ”

"Hey! You're so humble, I remember that "The Kid," which you've been preparing for three years, is about to be released. ”

"Bit, you still won the Best Screenplay Award once, and you're done, right?"

"Hey! Almost. ”

“……”

And then...... The other party smiled on his face, and MMP in his heart: Why did you say that you were Master Wang Mo's person? It's useless to engage in so much.

The two of them looked at each other, and their hearts were suffocated.

Wang Mo was not worried at all.

And Wang Mo just smiled at everyone at the moment.

"Hahaha, count me in."

Wang Mo contacted Kenneth again and told him that he wanted to find a director to shoot a literary film.

“……”

Thirteen great directors came to see him off.

Actually, this is normal.

"You ill-intentioned fellow."

As long as you can get this group of directors and let the other party help you open the Marvel Universe, you will make a lot of money.

Don't assume that the judges of these awards have the same interests.

End of June.

"Farewell My Concubine" must still be filmed by domestic directors, this kind of film with strong Chinese characteristics, if it is filmed by foreign directors, it is estimated that it will be confused.

Even if it is filmed, it will take several years.

Two days later.

[The top streamers are the flowers to play]

Wang Mo still found a movie.

There are no many things that the villain has brainlessly provoked the protagonist at all.

It is no exaggeration to say that after its release, it swept the era at that time, and various awards were soft.

Of course, the film is not limited to the Cannes Film Festival, it has also won many awards such as the North American Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, the International Federation of Film Critics Award, and two Oscar nominations.

For people on Earth, it is estimated that the vast majority of people are no strangers to this movie.

While the two were talking, Wang Mo nodded secretly.

Everyone thought Wang Mo was joking.

Who would dare to risk a reputation collapse and go back?

What's more, on the premise that the popularity is enough, these big directors can also gain fame.

Cannes Palme d'Or + Academy Awards?

It was only half a day later that Kenneth called and said angrily: "These three old fellows are stubborn and don't give me face at all. Well, don't think about any movie they will direct in the future! But Master Wang Mo, don't worry, I don't believe it yet, there are so many directors in Hollywood, I can't find a suitable person. ”

Of course, the face-giving industry is limited.

A few days passed in a flash.

"Which one?"

"Really? That's better than that. ”

The same was true for Peng Chen, and the two felt that the depths of their minds were already tumbling.

Because it is a classic inspirational film, in the classes of junior high schools, high schools, and universities, English teachers often take out its disc and show it to students.

Third, word-of-mouth and box office have been bumper.

They suppressed the surprise in their hearts and hurriedly took the script and read it.

Such a low percentage shows that the judging criteria for the two awards are completely different.

[Wang Mo and thirteen directors each boasted about Haikou]

According to statistics, in the past 30 years, only 3.2% of all films have been nominated for both the Cannes Film Festival and the Oscars!

None of them dared to dream like this.

A bunch of reporters were staring at it.

If no one really wants to take the script of "Forrest Gump", then he simply shoots it himself.

"Wang Mo is so influential?"

It turned out that unconsciously, Wang Mo's status in the international arena was already so high. Even top-notch events like the three major international film festivals have to give Wang Mo face.

At this moment, Wang Mo had already called up the system panel.

He can also use this film to get into the work of directing officially.

"Did you see the group of directors? Usually they don't even pay attention to top international movie stars, but they are very enthusiastic about Wang Mo. ”

Wang Mo smiled slightly.

Although "Farewell My Concubine" has been nominated for two Oscars, this is far from satisfying him.

"This year's Cannes security guards are so gentle?"

In particular, these three people are very good at social skills.

This time.

The others laughed too.

Sure enough, in the next second, Wang Mo smiled slightly: "That's right." ”

However, I saw Wang Mo smiling and nodding: "I have this idea, and I am also looking forward to next year's Academy Awards." ”

Soon, everyone figured out why.

When Wang Mo exited from the system mall.

"Ahem."

Especially Fu Yiguo, his identity and strength are almost at the same level as Lao Mouzi.

Being favored by both Cannes and the Oscars is enough to see its excellence.

He believes that if he hands over "Farewell My Concubine" to the other party, the final result will definitely not be worse than Chen Kaige.

Soon, the two watched "Forrest Gump", which is also a feature film.

After thinking about it, Wang Mo spoke: "Okay, then I'll send the script to Mr. Fu Yiguo in two days to see what he means." What about Forrest Gump? ”

And these big directors were also happy when they heard Wang Mo's words.

Coupled with Wang Mo's previous conversations with those directors in Cannes, the two subconsciously remembered a possibility that made them feel impossible.

Second, it can be produced extremely quickly.

As for the fear that these directors will return after winning their own awards next year?

First, it is not difficult to shoot.

This time, Kenneth was a little embarrassed: "Master Wang Mo, Robert, Edgar, Thomas, these people are a little difficult to talk to, especially they don't make commercial films very much, so my words don't have much deterrent effect on them." But I'm trying to find a way to get them to take over your film. ”

"Farewell My Concubine", which was released in 93, has a global box office of more than 30 million US dollars, and the mainland box office has 48 million Chinese dollars.

[Swap roles, who wins?] 】

The two can see that this film is obviously not in line with the characteristics of commercial films.

Chai Qingdao said: "What you think is really beautiful." ”

And on the same day, he rushed to Yunhai Media and came to Wang Mo's office.

With the previous small bet, the relationship between Wang Mo and these big directors quickly warmed up, and everyone got along with each other very well.

Some people just take it as a joke.

By the time they said that, many reporters had already published their conversations, with a bunch of eye-catching headlines.

"I'm going to compete for the Music Award, Mr. Wang Mo, please prepare your music in advance, haha."

“……”

This also surprised many Chinese netizens and international netizens.

Even many times Wang Mo was not pleasing to the eye, but the security guards on the stage were still respectful.

……

The group ended their trip to Cannes.

So!

Under this kind of public opinion momentum, Wang Mo believes that when next year comes, even if he doesn't mention this matter, many media reporters will take the initiative to help him publicize it and create a hot spot.

To become a top director, he basically has deep experience and city government. Even people like Clement, who have less tendons, know how to advance and retreat in front of Wang Mo, let alone these people.

In addition to this, it is estimated that more than 90% of ordinary people do not even know what the top prize of the Cannes Film Festival is.

Next.

"That's right, that Chinese star has walked back and forth on the stage three times, and the security guards haven't driven him away."

The surrounding directors are still chatting.

Some people are starting to have their eyes shining, after all, there are several directors who have good attainments in music.

This great Chinese director, who is now in his sixties, has an understanding of modern Chinese culture and people's hearts that is not comparable to ordinary people, especially on the premise that he has only read the script once, and his understanding of the plot of "Farewell My Concubine" is quite profound, and this strength makes Wang Mo admire it in his heart.

Therefore, unless you are an industry insider, few people really know which films have won awards at the three major international film festivals.

When the red carpet starts.

Almost instantly, a large number of movies popped into his mind.

Chai Qing and Peng Chen are the two of them, one is filming "The Wandering Earth", and the other is preparing to be the assistant director of "Iron Man".

I'm dripping mom!

Chai Qing didn't talk nonsense in his head, but he was really right by him, he took the document handed over by Wang Mo in a daze, and looked at the movie script of "Forrest Gump" blankly.

Really.

One Clement is simply not enough.

However, Hao Mingxing, Chai Qing, and Peng Chen are studying outside every day.

In a few days, Hao Mingxing got the black and white of the entire Cannes, and completely surrendered several big directors who like to shoot action movies, so that the other party wanted to invite Hao Mingxing to participate in the shooting of the next movie every day.

Next, at the awards ceremony, "Kung Fu" was as Wang Mo guessed, although it was shortlisted for two awards, the Golden Photography Award and the Best Screenplay Award, but in the end, it did not receive anything.

Seeing him open his eyes, Jack smiled and said, "Mr. Wang Mo, looking at your expression, are you determined to win the Palme d'Or next year?" ”

These days, Wang Mo only went out once on the first day, and did not show up at other times.

“……”

Whether these people take it seriously or not, he takes it seriously anyway.

Peng Chen coughed a few times: "Of course I know, I just said that if it can achieve a bumper harvest at the box office and word of mouth, it will be better." ”

The Palme d'Or?

Come to think of this.

After choosing for a long time, Wang Mo set his sights on a feature film.

Wang Mo had a refreshing smile on his face: "Everyone, why don't we have a small competition?" If my film wins the Cannes and Oscar festivals next year, you can make me a film for free. And if you can win any international award in music, I will also give you a piece of music for your next film for free. What do you think? ”

It takes more than a year just to build a one-to-one simulated ship.

It also grossed impressively.

"Add me too."

"Hahaha, although this competition is a little unrealistic, it's good to have a little fun."

That's when he realized that he knew very little about the films that had won awards at the Cannes Film Festival in his previous life.

"Okay."

Just returned to China.

You know, this is data from more than thirty years ago!

If it is released today more than 30 years later, Wang Mo is sure that it will definitely not be worse than the box office of many commercial films.

If you want to open the Marvel Universe.

"Jack, why don't you compare music with Teacher Wang Mo?"

This was not meant to be mocking, but a joke between each other.

In China, it is also highly sought after by fans.

Of course, the film wasn't just an international impact.

"Master Wang Mo, see you in Cannes next year!"

Wang Mo found that the celebrities and Internet celebrities who came to the red carpet in Huaxia really received preferential treatment from the organizers, even if they delayed time again and again, the organizers did not forcibly drive them away.

Is there really one?

Wang Mo said in his heart.

Wang Mo called Chai Qing and Peng Chen, threw away the script of "Farewell My Concubine", and said at the same time: "You two help me look at this movie script, and then tell me who is the most suitable person to direct it in China?" ”

"Yo, is this a gamble? Add me one to that. ”

New movie scripts again?

Wang Mo is right, this movie is really going for the Oscars: plot, biography, inspiration, North American history...... These genres are the most popular among the Oscar judges.

So in Wang Mo's opinion, these big directors are all fragrant buns, which makes him salivate.

In particular, the jury of the Cannes Film Festival was very interesting, and their favorite was the feature film.

Even Wang Mo decided that this time he would not interfere with any filming of Fu Yiguo, he wanted to see if the other party could shoot another very different version of "Farewell My Concubine".

So the movie he chooses should have the following factors:

There was another long pause.

Chai Qingcai put down the script and raised his head with complicated eyes: "Brother Mo, is your film going to the Cannes Film Festival next year?" ”

Of course, the most classic is "Titanic", which is a movie that has reached the pinnacle of literature and commerce, and can be called an unsurpassed masterpiece in the film industry.

Before leaving.

After watching "Farewell My Concubine", Fu Yiguo was amazed: "This script is well written!" Farewell My Concubine is a well-known story in Chinese history. And according to this story, you can see that it is integrated into modern war and love, and tells a story of joys and sorrows that lasts for half a century. It is definitely the first literary film! In particular, the last sentence 'I am a man, not a woman' is the finishing touch. I don't guarantee that this kind of movie will have a box office, but it will definitely be able to shoot an extraordinary depth. ”

Wang Mo contacted director Fu Yiguo.

"That's it!"

Wang Mo is ready to give it a try.

After Fu Yiguo left confidently with the script.

He couldn't wait.

"Farewell concubine."

Although the two couldn't understand how Wang Mo got the scripts of two movies in just a few days, they still had an unrealistic illusion at the moment.

It seems that Wang Mo is indeed real.

He knew that Kenneth admired and thanked him, and under normal circumstances, as long as there was a five-point possibility, it was estimated that Kenneth would do his best to make it ten percent. And now that Kenneth is so embarrassed, it is estimated that the probability of a negotiation is very small.

After Wang Mo made up his mind, he did not hesitate to buy this movie called "Forrest Gump" from the system mall.

Hey!

Now the scene has become more lively.

Many people still think it's zongye.

Heart: Wait for me to build my Marvel Universe next year.

Peng Chen also showed an inquiring expression.

Everyone was agitated.

Peng Chen also nodded in agreement: "Director Chai is right, I also think it is best for two teachers to direct." However, I prefer Mr. Fu Yiguo. Because he can be called the first person in China in terms of shooting literary films. Many ordinary plots can also be interpreted with an unusual flavor after being directed by him. If "Farewell My Concubine" wants to compete for international awards, I think it is most suitable for Mr. Fu Yiguo. It's just that the only regret is that the box office of the movies directed by Mr. Fu Yiguo may not be too high. ”

In China, Wang Mo's title is still very useful, and when Fu Yiguo heard that Wang Mo had a movie that he wanted him to shoot, he agreed without even reading the script.

However, Wang Mo only hesitated for a moment and gave up.

Of course, there were many setbacks and humiliations.

“……”

The Cannes Film Festival is still in full swing.

If you want to compete for the Oscars, none of these movies will work.

When Wang Mo heard Kenneth's words, he felt a little drumming in his heart.

Wang Mo talked with Fu Yiguo for almost an hour, and then completely recognized the other party's ability.

Wang Mo no longer hesitated, and immediately bought it from the system mall.

"It doesn't matter."

Making a commercial film is as easy as eating.

So, hear what these people are saying.

Exclude!

But immediately the surprise in the hearts of the two of them rose again, and then became thicker and thicker.

Because the directors who can sit here are all top international directors. Don't look at the fact that they are competing for the Palme d'Or with literary films and feature films today, you think that they will not make commercial films.

It was even named one of the 100 best films of all time in the world by Time magazine.

Basically, ordinary people don't pay any attention to the three major international film festivals of Cannes, Berlin and Venice, and it is already remarkable that everyone can hear which film won the Oscar.

"It must be that Wang Mo has been accommodating with the organizers."

On Douban, the evaluation of "Farewell My Concubine" is as high as 9.6 points, ranking second among all movies. The number of evaluators is as high as more than 2 million.

So even if some of them don't like Wang Mo, they won't show it on the surface.

"Master Wang Mo, get your music ready. Hahaha, you may not know that before I became a director, I graduated from the North American Conservatory. ”

The two directors they talked about, Wang Mo knew each other.

For the films participating in the Oscar selection, Wang Mo has a lot of choice.

[Wang Mo competes for Cannes and Oscars? Directors competing for international music awards? 】

Chai Qing smiled: "What about literary films, what about feature films, do you still want to compete for the box office?" If you look at the Palme d'Or winning films, which one is a high box office? The Cannes judges don't like commercial films the most. They never judge films based on box office. ”

As for Iron Man?

I'm afraid it will be difficult to shoot next year, and even if it does, it will at most win one or two inconsequential small awards at the Oscars.

Anyway, now that he has a lot of prestige, it is still possible for him to make a feature film that is not very difficult.

More than a dozen directors were all enthusiastic.

According to Yuan Xiong's words: "These three people are like dry sponges, hungry and thirsty to absorb all kinds of things in the town of Cannes. ”

What's more worth mentioning is that this movie is not a literary drama that is not liked by fans.

Chai Qingcai said: "The script of "Farewell My Concubine", I think it is most suitable for Mr. Zhao Zhong or Mr. Fu Yiguo in China to direct, both of them are top directors and artists in China, and they have a deep study of the films of that era, and they also have a lot of experience in plots and romance films. ”

The two didn't expect Wang Mo to be so efficient, the two sci-fi blockbusters have not yet been completed, and the script of the third step movie has been released.

I've been looking for a long time.

Of course, there may be one or two directors who will win international music awards for their skills. But it doesn't hurt either, it's easy to take out one or two pieces of music for the other person.

“……”

His gaze was fixed on the name, thoughtful.

"In previous years, they would have been ousted long ago."

You won the Palme d'Or and you thought you could win an Oscar?

No way!

"You don't need to win an award, as long as you can be nominated for an Oscar, I will also give you a free job for a year. And Jack, if you can beat Master Wang Mo in music, I will also work for you for a year. ”

No...... Big brother, are you really here?

Not a joke?

Are you really going to take a film to compete for the Cannes Film Festival next year?

……

After all, this is a matter of principle, and the organizers of Cannes will not lose their principles if they give Wang Mo face.

"Good!"

“……”

It's a win-win.

……

However, Wang Mo, who had been mentally prepared, stopped Kenneth: "It's okay, you don't have to look for it." Since they don't agree, don't agree. It just so happens that I also have itchy hands, so I'm going to shoot this movie myself. ”

"I want strawberry-flavored music!"

"Mr. Wang Mo, see you at the Oscars next year."

Peng Chen thought for a while and spoke: "Robert, Edgar, and Thomas should be all three. I just don't know if they're willing to direct. For all three were extremely arrogant and conceited, and were not as eloquent as Mr. Clement. ”

As for Chai Qing and Peng Chen, they took the humble and sincere route. In the past few days, with their true feelings and outstanding emotional intelligence, they have also established relationships with several international directors and learned a lot of experience.

It's so simple, you can't shoot it!

Wang Mo immediately printed out the scripts of the two movies "Farewell My Concubine" and "Forrest Gump".

Many international netizens were shocked in their hearts.

More than ten minutes later.

is "Forrest Gump", this movie is almost a modern history of North America, involving many North American historical and human factors. So it can only be directed by local directors in North America.

Some people even coaxed: "Master Wang Mo, if your movie script can really be favored by two major awards after it is filmed, whether it is a movie or multiple movies, I will make you a movie for free next year." ”

Wang Mo's expression, which was not very serious, suddenly became serious.

"It seems that in order to get Master Wang Mo's piano music, I am going to learn music."

At first, they thought that Wang Mo had come up with another science fiction film, but after finding out that it was a domestic feature film, they were slightly relieved.

"Nonsense! You have no idea what a music master is in the entertainment industry. ”

"This?"

Drama films, on the other hand, are the most rejected films by commercial films.

This is the only Chinese film in Wang Mo's memory that won the Palme d'Or at Cannes.

"Well, let it come to the Cannes Film Festival next year, then I have to find a film that will participate in the Oscars......"

Swallowing his saliva, Chai Qing's voice was dry: "That...... Brother Mo, so you still have a movie to compete for the Academy Awards? ”

At this time, they will make a big move: I am Wang Mo's person.

It's just that after entering the mall, he made a difficulty.

"Which movie are you looking for?"

Wang Mo raised his eyebrows: "That's right, na...... Let's take a look at the script of this movie, and then talk about who it is suitable to direct. ”

"Master Wang, don't be too confident. This time, I won. ”

"That's it!"

The story tells the inspirational story of Forrest Gan, a small-town boy who is born with a mental retardation, and finally gets the favor of God and creates miracles in various fields.

But on the contrary, they are characters who have long been famous in commercial films, and they make literary films just to gild themselves.

As long as your movie really wins the award, I'm afraid that media reporters and even fans will hype about it.

There must be many top international directors.

"You...... Self...... Shoot it yourself? ”

Kenneth thought he had misheard, and his voice stammered.

Wang Mo said firmly: "Yes, I directed it myself." (End of chapter)
