Chapter 1548 The 4th Academy Awards

Generally speaking, the Hong Kong Film Awards are awarded before the Spring Festival.

This year, February 1st is New Year’s Eve, and February 2nd is New Year’s Day, so preparations for the Academy Awards are a little more urgent.

It only took one week from the time the ballots were mailed out on January 1st to the time they were collected.

Then we made various preparations, and in late January, we rushed to hold an awards party.

Fortunately, this is Xiangjiang, and the speed of doing things is amazing, so I was able to get it all done in more than two weeks.

The Hong Kong Film Awards is now in its fourth edition.

Compared with the previous three editions, its influence has extended to all of Asia. Although it is not as good as the Golden Horse Awards or the Asian Film Festival Awards in Singapore, it is still very famous in the Chinese circle.

However, although the Hong Kong Film Awards is open to all Chinese-speaking countries and regions, in the end, it is the films from Hong Kong and Baodao that can be considered the best, so basically the most important awards fall in these two regions.

In the first and second sessions, Baodao and Xiangjiang were evenly matched.

The leading actor and actress, best director, best film, etc. are basically evenly divided.

But starting from the third session, Yin Jun joined the competition, and the result was completely different.

Last year's "The Shawshank Redemption" swept the Academy Awards. Except for the female lead, all other entries won the award.

Several great directors in Baodao were also amazed by this. They were not jealous at all, but were sincerely convinced.

"Mr. Yin Jun made "Shawshank Redemption" when he was 20 years old. Even if I were 50 years old, I would definitely not be able to make it. It would be ridiculous if such a movie cannot win the highest award."

After the Academy Awards, director Hou Hsiao-hsien faced the camera and said this.

However, last year's Golden Horse Awards did not award a single award to "The Shawshank Redemption". The reason given was that ""The Shawshank Redemption" was a film completed in the United States and should not be classified among the ranks of Chinese-language films."

This time they didn’t dare to say that Kylin Films had not filed a declaration. In fact, Kirin Films had filed a declaration, which disgusted them all.

The organizing committee of the Golden Horse Awards is actually aggrieved. They should have given the biggest awards to "The Shawshank Redemption". Even if they don't give Best Director and Best Picture, Best Actor is absolutely necessary.

They have won big awards at the Golden Globe Awards, and even the Best Picture at the Oscars belongs to them. It doesn’t make sense for you to win a Chinese award and not support your own film.

But the orders above are dead and cannot be changed at all.

So the last Golden Horse Awards became a laughing stock around the world.

That's why director Hou Hsiao-hsien said such things.

As for this year's fourth Academy Awards, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it will be another feast for Yin Jun.

"Rain Man" is a production of Qilin Group, and Yin Jun is the screenwriter and director. It can naturally go beyond the limitations and become a candidate for the Academy Awards.

Even Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp came over from the United States.

It's not that the two of them care about the Best Actor and Best Boyfriend awards, but they are purely to support their boss.

In the United States, this year’s Golden Globe Awards have been announced.

"Rain Man" won seven awards in one go: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Costume Design, and Best Soundtrack, once again demonstrating "Yin Jun" "The glory of the work".

The two men, who had just won the Golden Globe Awards, attracted media attention when they arrived in Hong Kong.

Not to mention the frighteningly handsome Johnny Depp, Tom Hanks is also extremely handsome now. Hundreds of fans followed the media to pick him up at the airport, and screams rang through the airport.

The next day, under the leadership of Shi Shaoming, the studio director of "Rain Man", the two visited most areas of Hong Kong. The media also followed them all the way, allowing the people of Hong Kong to appreciate the style of big American stars.

There are actually many big stars who come to Hong Kong. Not to mention Stallone has been here two years ago, but handsome stars are always more popular.

After such a show, at the Academy Awards announcement party, TV cameras were frequently focused on them.

All of Asia is watching the Academy Awards. This is also the first time for the two of them to have such close contact with Asian audiences.

However, Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp were obviously not very interested in these, they were just talking about something with Yin Jun.

Yin Jun has been very busy these two days, but he invited the two of them to dinner last night, and there were many people around, so it was not as convenient as the current conversation.

"Boss, I have already exercised my muscles as you requested." Johnny Depp whispered, "But do you really think this kind of action movie is suitable for me?"

"A good actor not only needs the support of literary and artistic films, but also needs the support of commercial films." Yin Jun said with a smile, "Simply put, commercial films can make money and allow you to accept advertising endorsements, thereby earning enough money. You don’t have to worry about your life. Then you can take on as many literary and artistic films as you want, since literary and artistic films don’t look at the box office anyway.”

"I understand!" Johnny Depp nodded, "Commercial films are about food needs, and literary and artistic films are about spiritual pursuits."

"It's good that you can always understand like this." Yin Jun laughed, "When you have nothing to do, you can communicate more with Tom. Even though he is young, if you follow him and learn from him, you will not suffer."

"Okay! Tom is my good buddy, he will definitely teach me!" Johnny Depp also laughed.

Next to him, Tom Hanks smiled and shook his head, "Master Jun, Johnny will definitely spend all the money he earned as soon as possible. At this rate, he will become addicted to making commercial films in the future."

After filming "Rain Man", Tom Hanks' name for Yin Jun became the more intimate "Jun Shao".

"Oh?" Yin Jun looked at Johnny Depp.

The rebellious boy still respected Yin Jun very much and quickly explained, "I recently formed a band. Equipment, venue, training, etc. all cost money, so the remuneration will naturally be spent... If it weren't for this " "Jack the Rogue", I really don't have any money left."

Johnny Depp is a typical Hollywood star who spends his money without restraint, and his financial planners teamed up to deceive him, causing him to almost go bankrupt.

If it weren't for the support of the super IP "Pirates of the Caribbean", he might really have to go bankrupt.

Now, he is still relatively simple. At least he spends money on hobbies instead of eating, drinking and having fun.

The movie "Jack the Rogue" is Tom Cruise's 2012 movie. The original work is the "Prodigal Son" series by British writer Richard Richard, which was published in 1997.

Yin Jun watched two "Jack the Rogue" films, and then read books.

There are only two general feelings. The first is that the book is much better than the movie, and the second is that this kind of book is suitable for being transformed into a movie in the 1980s.

Because this kind of tough-guy punch-and-kick movies were most popular in the 1980s, and they were good in the 1990s, but 10 years later, when Marvel and DC heroes were flying all over the sky, they seemed a bit outdated.

Therefore, the box office of "Jack the Rogue" can only be said to be average.

Yin Jun does not plan to make more films, as long as he makes two or three films within five years.

He had already written the script for the first part, and gave the outlines for the second and third parts to the screenwriting department.

The screenwriting department of Qilin Film now includes people from Hong Kong, some from Japan, some from the United States, and some from the UK.

Everyone worked together to write the script, and after three rounds of review, it was presented to Yin Jun.

Anything that Yin Jun thinks is not good will be dismissed, either redone or killed directly.

European and American screenwriters pay too much attention to the director's performance and rely on special effects when writing scripts. Basically, the content of their commercial movies is very average and far inferior to American dramas.

Although the screenwriters of Xiangjiang are very creative, they are not familiar with Europe and the United States, so a lot of content needs to be added by European and American screenwriters.

Japanese screenwriters are also unique in adjusting order and logic, and that fresh flavor often adds a lot to the movie.

In this way, when everyone cooperates, they are a perfect match and complement each other.

Tom Cruise made "Jack the Rogue" in 2012, and the box office was good, so if it had been made in 1984, the box office would have been even better.

Johnny Depp already has all the conditions to become an action star. It was just right for him to be an action star when he was young. After he turned 30, he started his journey as Captain Jack Sparrow.

If you think about it this way, Johnny Depp seems to be inseparable from the name "Jack" in his life.

His thoughts turned around, and the young man nodded and said, "Johnny, act well. No matter what you do, you must remember that you are an actor first, and put this in the most important position. Only in this way will you have success in this life." Great achievements are what lead to the life you want.”

"I know." Johnny Depp said seriously.

While the two were talking, there was a burst of applause unexpectedly. Tom Hanks touched Johnny Depp and said, "Hurry up and come on stage, you won the Best Supporting Actor award!"

Johnny Depp was stunned, and when he raised his head, he saw his own profile picture on the TV screen. Everyone also smiled and applauded him.

After all, he was someone who had experience in Hollywood. When he saw this, he stood up without any stage fright. Like the Chinese, he held his hands in front of everyone, smiled, and strode onto the stage.

Such a fitting performance by Johnny Depp immediately aroused another wave of applause.

After hundreds of years of competition and weakness, even in a place like Xiangjiang, it is a great honor for foreigners to be able to follow the local customs.

They don't know that they are very lucky.

With a bug like Yin Jun, Xiangjiang will only appear on the world stage more and more in the future, and there will be more and more cases where foreign stars are used by me.

Chinese culture will continue to be spread to the world through the platform of Xiangjiang!
