Chapter 1549 Harvest and Follow-Up

When Johnny Depp came on stage, Tom Hanks had time to talk about his own affairs, "Master Jun, do we have a chance at the Oscars in March?"

"I don't know, but you probably have high hopes." Yin Jun replied.

The Oscar selections were announced at the beginning of the year. As the most popular and profound film last year, the Oscar hit "Rain Man" received 8 nominations without any suspense.

Just like the previous year, in addition to Best Actress, "Rain Man" was selected for the other three of the four major awards, and with the addition of Johnny Depp for Best Supporting Actor, it was close to a complete success.

Although there are many good films in Hollywood, there are very few that can be nominated for such a great success, and not one can come out in two or three years.

That is to say, the films directed by Yin Jun in the past two years have been well-received and well-received in all aspects. Coupled with the appropriate public relations and willingness to spend money, they have received so many nominations.

Otherwise, do you really think that they are so formal and rely on their strength in everything?

It is worth mentioning that after last year's "Mother and Daughter", "The Little God's Daughter" brought Lin Qingxia another Best Actress nomination.

"The Little God's Daughter" also has a nomination for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Original Music. The Kirin series is still strong this time.

Tom Hanks was nominated for an Oscar for the first time, and he was nominated for Best Actor for the first time. Of course, he was both happy and nervous.

His performance in it was praised by people all over the United States. In addition, his serious attitude of going to a mental hospital for three months to practice was even appreciated by a group of old men from the film academy.

Such a handsome and young guy should definitely be praised for his serious attitude towards acting.

But Tom Hanks still can't believe it. After all, it's a bit dreamy to win the award for the first time.

But he also knows that United Artists Films and Disney have been building momentum for him, spending at least tens of millions of dollars in publicity fees, etc. This puts a lot of pressure on Tom Hanks. He is afraid that if he does not win the award, the money will be lost. If it is wasted, it will disappoint everyone.

The answer Yin Jun gave him now did not reassure him. After all, the genius boss used a possible tone, not an affirmative sentence.

If Yin Jun says for sure, then Tom Hanks will be at ease.

While the two were talking, Johnny Depp had already walked back with a smile on his face, holding the trophy.

"Boss, this trophy is very interesting. Which beauty's body is it modeled after? I can...oh!" Before Johnny Depp could finish his words, he was stepped on by Tom Hanks.

He was not an idiot. He immediately understood when he saw this. This matter must have something to do with Yin Jun.

So Johnny Depp didn't blame Tom Hanks, he just laughed and said nothing more.

"The original owner of the portrait is my girlfriend. You will meet her if you have the chance." Yin Jun explained nonchalantly.

Foreign celebrities are not brainless people either.

Not to mention Johnny Depp, even a superstar like Robert De Niro would not dare to flirt with Yin Jun's woman.

Therefore, there is no need to take it seriously when speaking unscrupulously for a while.

Now that it is already the Best Supporting Actor, the next awards will be the four major awards.

The first Best Actress nominees include Zhong Chuhong, Xiao Fangfang, actress Zhang Yan from Baodao, and Liu Xiaoqing from the Mainland.

Originally, everyone thought that Xiao Fangfang, who played a middle-aged woman for the first time, might be more likely to win the award.

Unexpectedly, the award presenter called out another name.

"The 4th Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actress...the winner is Liu Xiaoqing from "The Man behind the Curtain"!

"Wow..."

Suddenly it looked like someone had opened it, and I was very surprised.

Last year, Siqin Haowa from the Mainland won the Best Actress award, so why is it that she is from the Mainland again this year?

Among the four Best Actresses, the first one is Lin Fengjiao, the second one is Zhong Chuhong, the third one is Siqin Haowa, and the fourth one is Liu Xiaoqing.

After working on it for a long time, at the Hong Kong Film Awards held in Hong Kong, there was only one Best Actress from Hong Kong among the four editions?

Isn't this too...not taking care of one's own people?

Although among the judges, in addition to people from Xiangjiang, there are also people from Baodao, Japan, Korea, and even some old artists from the mainland, but half of the judges from Xiangjiang!

While everyone was talking about it, someone had already gone up to receive the award.

But it's not Liu Xiaoqing, but Liang Jiahui who is wearing a suit.

"Because Sister Xiaoqing is filming in the United States, I will accept this award on her behalf." Liang Jiahui accepted the award gracefully, "Thank you to our mentor, Teacher Li Hanxiang..."

Liang Jiahui said it sincerely and naturally, but some people below were still not satisfied.

Humph, you didn’t come to claim the super movie award from us Xiangjiang people. Instead, you asked someone to wait for you to claim it. How arrogant!

After Liang Jiahui stepped down, the next step was the selection of best actor.

The competition for the Best Actor cannot be said to be without any suspense.

But this suspense is also a bit interesting, because except for Tom Hanks, the other two biggest hits are all from the same movie-"Hot Detective".

Chow Yun-fat's performance is remarkable, but Tony Leung Chiu-wai's character is also both good and evil, expressive and a little tragic, absolutely perfect.

Although Tom Hanks is powerful and has won a Golden Globe Award and been nominated for an Oscar, this is Hong Kong. Not only did "Hot Detective" have a good box office, but its style also impressed countless people, including Chow Yun-fat and Liang Chao. Wei and Wei, it is not impossible for either of them to win the Best Actor.

Tony Leung is now so busy working on "Mission: Impossible" in the United States that he took two days off to come back just to see if he could win the first Best Actor Award in his life.

However, it is a pity that the final result still disappointed Liang Chaowei and Zhou Runfa.

"Best Actor at the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards...Mr. Tom Hanks! Congratulations to Tom Hanks!!" Paul Zong on the stage read out the actor's name aloud.

Watching Tom Hanks take the stage with a calm face to receive another Best Actor Award, Zhou Runfa and Tony Leung, who appeared to be smiling on the outside, felt envious in their hearts.

Looking at Yin Jun who was talking to Johnny Depp over there, Liang Chaowei secretly clenched his fists.

Wait!

After I become famous in Hollywood, I will definitely get these honors!

Zhou Runfa didn't feel that much emotion.

He has won the Best Actor twice in a row, and it would definitely be the best to win the third one, but he doesn't have too many regrets if he doesn't get it.

Moreover, in "Hot Detective", what he cares about most is that his commercial value has been restored.

Before "Hot Detective", he was already known as "a box office poison who only wins awards."

But after the release of "Hot Detective", the whole of Asia went crazy plundering the box office, and the reputation was also very high, which immediately brought him back to the top superstars.

Now if we want to film a movie with him for less than 5 million, Qilin Culture will not even watch it.

After earning 8 million, I will read the script seriously.

So far, he has starred in another film produced by a medium-sized production company. The local box office has reached 25 million, and the copyright price has also been sold in other places for 50 million. Finally, the investors have not been disappointed.

This also gave Zhou Runfa an opportunity to completely wash away his bad luck, and he was about to ask Yin Jun to give him a script to consolidate his position.

In his acceptance speech, Tom Hanks was more eloquent than Johnny Depp. He said emotionally: "I want to express my special thanks to Mr. Jun! If it weren't for him, I would still be satisfied with being an ordinary actor! Yes He took me to see the vast world outside, and it was he who brought me step by step to where I am today...Thank you, Mr. Jun! I will remember it in my heart for the rest of my life! Let us meet the peak moments together!"

After hearing this, everyone applauded most enthusiastically.

Of course they know that Tom Hanks' last words refer to the Oscars in March, and this is very likely to be Yin Jun's first opportunity to win the Oscar for Best Director!

Whether it's flattering or sincere admiration, Yin Jun's achievements are indeed unparalleled.

Not only his ability to train actors, not only his ability to write scripts, but his own directing ability has also been recognized by the world.

Cannes Palme d'Or, Golden Globe Awards, Oscars...these foreign awards have already recognized Yin Jun. There is no reason why Hong Kong's own awards should not recognize his pride, right?

Therefore, when another emcee Zheng Yuling loudly shouted "Best Director - Yin Jun", the whole audience stood up and cheered loudly for this young genius who was only 22 years old.

Yin Jun's acceptance speech was still so brief, even a bit perfunctory.

"Thank you everyone, I will make more works for everyone to enjoy! I hope you can continue to like it!"

With just such a word, Yin Jun walked off the stage, almost making it difficult for Zheng Yuling, who was good at enlivening the atmosphere, to stop.

Under normal circumstances, the best director and best picture are awarded by the same family. Unless the two movies are too evenly matched and there is no way to choose, one family will win one.

Of course, this problem does not exist at this Hong Kong Film Awards, so the final award for Best Picture still fell on "Rain Man".

This is not only because Yin Jun's film has won the favor of the Golden Globe and Oscar, but also because its content reflects the most sincere human emotions.

This kind of movie definitely crosses the boundaries of country and race. All normal people will be moved and like it when they watch it.

Especially for lovers of literary and artistic films, it is not strange to go to the cinema again and again to watch them.

After Zhang Guorong sang a song in the finale, the fourth Hong Kong Film Awards also came to an end.

Generally speaking, Qilin Film definitely has the absolute advantage in this Academy Awards.

But no one dares to say that this is a shady story.

The excellence of "Rain Man" is well known to everyone and cannot be slandered.

The next day, the media in Japan and South Korea were praising Yin Jun, and on the other hand, they were actively encouraging film directors in their own countries to rise up early and compete with the smartest people in the world. .

I can't say that I dare to beat Yin Jun, but as long as they keep fighting and absorbing Yin Jun's advantages, then they will definitely continue to improve and narrow the gap.

The media in Hong Kong only regard these as jokes.

Nowadays, Hong Kong movies are booming. Where can I see Japanese and Korean filmmakers?

Only Yin Jun knows that in the future, in the Asian film industry, there will be no directors from Xiangjiang who have the most class and artistic life.

In the Asian film industry, Japanese and Korean directors are definitely top-notch.

Japan's Hayao Miyazaki, Takeshi Kitano, and Kore-eda Hirokazu; South Korea's Bong Joon-ho, Park Chan-wook... among the new generation of directors in China, none of these directors can compare with them.

I'm not talking about the kind of sixth-generation directors who are trying to sell themselves off, like Director Jia.

But it refers to the kind of director who can make movies that are truly deeply rooted in people's hearts and go straight to the soul. There was no such thing in China at that time.

Yin Jun returned to Xiangjiang 42 years ago, not only to spread Chinese culture himself, but also to cultivate more directors like the above.

Perhaps due to various reasons, the mainland cannot make films that are so sharp that they pierce people's hearts, but in Xiangjiang, they can.

Xiangjiang filmmakers should be braver and bolder to take on this responsibility instead of looking at money all day long.

Although Spielberg may seem like a cunning businessman on ordinary days, in his filming and directing career, he has been spreading childlike innocence and beauty.

No matter how everyone said Spielberg fell behind after 2000, he never changed his original intention.

However, it still takes a long time to cultivate Hong Kong directors like the above-mentioned great directors.

A big reason for the decline of Xiangjiang Cinema is that it has been in a state of panic since the 1990s.

Filmmakers see no hope and are worried that their own interests will not be guaranteed, so they desperately want to make a profit and leave.

The whole thing is not a contribution to the film industry, but irreparable damage.

In that era, they couldn't even make normal comedies, action movies, and ghost movies. How could they even talk about making literary films?

In a country's film sequence, only commercial blockbusters are definitely immature.

In addition, touching and thought-provoking literary films are the best reflection of the charm of the film itself.

In the Mainland, in the 1980s and 1990s, directors such as Zhang Moumou and Chen Kaige produced some good literary and artistic films.

But then there was a vacuum.

It was not until the box office began to recover in 2012, as people in the 1980s began to mature, and the quality of young people in the 1990s improved, that some real literary films gradually appeared.

For example, "Lost Orphan", "Dear"...etc.

There is also the 2018 box office hit "I'm Not the God of Medicine", which has successfully transformed the performance of the movie into a touch to the soul rather than a simple sensory stimulation.

Compared with the film environment in the Mainland, Hong Kong does not require such a long transition period and adaptation period.

After a few more years of cultivating the market, when Xiangjiang films can break out of Asia, major film companies will choose to invest in literary films for their own development needs.

In order to attract audiences with different needs, in order to win awards to increase one's fame, in order to showcase Chinese films...

This is the profit driving force.

Therefore, when Yin Jun gives scripts to major film companies, he not only supports them financially, but also wants to make their development more stable so that they can take a new step.

Of course, young people are not so narrow-minded.

Only when a large number of talents come together can there be a collision of ideas and stimulate everyone's creative enthusiasm.

Those outstanding directors from Japan and South Korea can still become directors of Kirin Film Company and make good films for Kirin Film!

For example, Hayao Miyazaki, who is still in his prime, isn't he studying seriously and preparing to shoot his first movie?

The producer of "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" is Kirin Films!
