After swiping Weibo for a while, sure enough, there was a pair of media who said that "Bomb Disposal Unit" deserved its name...

What's deserved?

Most importantly, few media mentioned Shen Mengxi's Oscar journey.

He won the Best Original Screenplay!

Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, but "Those Years" was only shortlisted for Best Cross-Strait Chinese Film at the Hong Kong Film Awards...

Not even a Best Screenplay...

That's the news!

Why is there no media coverage?

......

"Two things, first, the Oscar is an American film award, I hope you don't care so much, especially don't say anything 'learn from the "Bomb Disposal Unit"", the plot of this movie: run to the country and blow people up, and talk about democracy and freedom, and finally the male protagonist retreats from the front line and can't stay at home, because the war makes him addicted...

This is even more shameless than the Eight-Nation Alliance. The Eight-Nation Coalition did bad things in the name of evil. The most shameless thing is to do despicable things in the name of justice, and they are also self-touching!

What is there to learn from this kind of film? What else does the media boast about 'real'... Have you watched the movie? It's really blowing with your eyes closed..."

"Second, Manchester by the Sea will be released nationwide tomorrow, it's a very mournful movie, it's real, real life... Aren't you advocating truthfulness? Look at how much a real movie can get at the box office!"

After posting these two Weibo posts, Shen Mengxi covered the computer, got up and picked up the packed luggage...

"You're just leaving?"

The young lady reached out to stop him.

“... Oh, I almost forgot!"

Dropped the luggage, picked her up, and came to a French brush...

The young lady was satisfied, sent him downstairs, and told him by the way: "I will return to China next month, you be honest!"

"Honest?"

“... Pretend to be confused with me, don't you understand what that means?"

"Don't worry, after returning to China, I will start the preparation of "Walking with God"..."

What else did the young lady say, Shen Mengxi had already entered the elevator: "Let's go!"

She reluctantly returned to the room, and then Liu Xiaoli walked over: "He's gone?"

"Hmm..."

"Didn't you mention it?"

"I think it's good to be like this now!"

Liu Xiaoli hated iron and steel: "The Hollywood Reporter has said that he has earned at least $280 million in an "Avatar", you have to catch such a person!"

The young lady was a little aggrieved: "I've worked hard, and I don't really want to mix other things in my relationship!"

"What do you know? I'll get in touch, even if you can't get married, get engaged first!"

As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone and prepared to contact Shen's mother...

Liu Yifei looked helpless...

......

At the airport, Shen Mengxi clicked on Kugou Music - he has been using Kugou Music because there are so many songs about this thing!

Of course, at this stage, all music does not pay royalties.

Click on the list, and the first place is actually "Those Years" - the movie soundtrack.

His own song!

Tsk, shouldn't you add a musician to your Weibo profile?

Find Jay's "Ye Huimei", this album Zhen Nima never gets tired of listening, "In the Name of the Father", "Sunny Day", "East Wind Breaking"...

Of course, "Fantesi", "Qilixiang", "Chopin in November" and "Still Fantesi" are all great...

Why doesn't Shen Mengxi mix in the music circle - anyway, there is Jay Chou, just be a listener!

"To this world, if you complain too much and fall, you don't dare to move forward, why should people be so fragile and degenerate..."

Before he put on his headphones, someone next to him patted him on the shoulder...

Turning his head, he was a middle-aged foreigner, Shen Mengxi hurriedly took off his headphones, and the latter took the initiative to stretch out his hand: "... Hello, I'm Thomas Toll!"

Thomas Tool?

The boss of Legendary Pictures...

"Hello... You're going to China too?"

"I heard that you took this flight, so I bought the ticket, and I thought we could talk in detail..."

Shen Mengxi was stunned for a moment: "How did you find out my flight information?"

“... It's very easy to check, "Manchester by the Sea" will be released in China tomorrow, and you will definitely have to rush back today, but you are in New York, and the last two airlines are only United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, and you should take United Airlines..."

You just answer the airline leak directly!

What can Shen Mengxi do?

Buy an airline and smash the plane?

......

Thomas Tool, who was originally a finance figure on Wall Street, came up with the idea of using a private equity model for film investment at a dinner party in 2003 when a MGM executive complained to him about the current plight of film financing.

And he caught up with the best opportunity for private equity in Hollywood: the liquidity of global capital declined, a large amount of international funds withdrew from North America, and Hollywood caused a money shortage, and on the other hand, the bursting of the Internet bubble also made Wall Street funds focus on the relatively stable film industry.

It was in such a favorable context that a large number of Wall Street private equity capital invested in Hollywood.

From 2004 to 2007, Hollywood established a number of film investment companies backed by private equity funds, among which two of the most representative and well-known companies are Legendary Entertainment, founded by Thomas Toole, and Relativity Media, founded in 2004.

Legendary Entertainment has had a honeymoon period with Warner Bros. for a while: "Spartan 300", "The Hangover", Nolan's "Batman" series...

However, simply as an investor has a natural disadvantage - even if Legend has the right to select film projects, the list of films for selection has already been screened by the other party, and the absolutely high-quality projects are held by Warner in their hands, and Warner unconditionally takes 15% of the distribution fee from it!

Independently producing films and owning intellectual property rights is the key to making your business bigger.

So, he's going to do the Monster Universe!

But Shen Mengxi knows that this guy's vision is very problematic!

Legendary Entertainment later became independent from Warner, and the production of "The Seventh Son: Battle of the Demons" and "Hacker Encounter" were huge losses!

once lost so much that Legendary Pictures almost went bankrupt, and then the big old king came from thousands of miles to send warmth...

produced "The Great Wall", there is news that it has lost more than $80 million...

And then, he patted his ass and left his job...

Then, the $3.5 billion Legendary Pictures was spun off by Wanda...

Spent $3.5 billion to buy a lesson!

......

Thomas Toole is really a businessman, and the eloquent thief Jill is good!

"I once saw the Great Wall when I was on a plane, and I thought it was a remarkable structure, and I came up with a story about a mysterious army defending against monsters on the Great Wall. ”

"How to resist?"

"My plan is that a mercenary wants to steal gunpowder from the East, and then meets a monster, is rescued, and then falls in love with each other, and finally decides to stay and help them fight the monster together..."

"I decided to set up a film company in China, and "The Great Wall" was directed by Edward Zwick, which became the company's first film after the establishment of the company, do you have any ideas? I want to make a Sino-American co-production!"

Shen Mengxi's first thought, Edward Zwick... Didn't you say director A?

Dare to love A is a spare tire!

Edward Zwick's masterpieces: "The Last Samurai" and "Blood Diamond"...

is also one of the famous directors, he can't even read the script of "The Great Wall", why do you want to take it?

Shen Mengxi asked rhetorically: "Does this matter have anything to do with the Great Wall?"

“... The place to resist the monsters is the Great Wall!"
