Chapter 1626

When I woke up, it was only 6 o'clock in the morning.

Sister Qingxia is sleeping soundly. She won the coveted Oscar for Best Actress last night. Her mood was up and down, and she didn't fall asleep until very late.

Yin Jun suppressed his depression and didn't think about it for the time being.

This morning, after washing and exercising, the young man took soy milk and steamed buns and sat in front of the garden of the villa, eating breakfast and thinking about things.

Last night's failure cannot be said to be Yin Jun's lack of effort.

In addition to "Rain Man"'s absolute ability to win Oscars, the North American branch of Kirin Group spent 30 million US dollars on public relations for Yin Jun's Oscar for Best Director.

In the end, Yin Jun returned home defeated.

So the young man knew that this was due to the weird psychology of the old men at the film school.

They are unwilling to let Asians win Oscars too easily.

Yin Jun, Tang Shuxuan and Lin Qingxia have competed for their respective awards for two consecutive years. Why did Lin Qingxia win the award in the end?

Very simple!

Which one do you think carries more weight between Best Actress and Best Director?

The actresses who only represent actors must be given less weight, and the best directors, who represent the highest level of directing ability, must be given more weight!

Last night, Yin Jun had already felt it.

The reason why Lin Qingxia won the Oscar for Best Actress was because she hit twice in a row.

The reason why I didn't win the Oscar for Best Director is that two consecutive awards were not enough!

Then come the third time!

As the saying goes, there are only three things that can happen.

If you don't give me the award for the third time, then we have to talk about it.

I will let you know how painful it will be to offend a Hollywood super boss and face endless pressure and all kinds of embarrassment from me!

Thoughts turn.

Yin Jun actually had a plan for a long time.

It's not a movie he prepared for the Best Director Oscar before, but a movie he plans to make again the year after.

But now that he has not been able to get what he wanted, Yin Jun can only release the movie in advance.

While I was thinking about it, Ding Chaoxing from outside came in and said, "Master Jun, Tom Hanks is here."

"Um?"

Yin Jun looked at the time, it was only 8:30 in the morning.

The person who won the Oscar last night actually got up so early?

Although Yin Jun told him last night that he would come to his home tomorrow to discuss the new drama with him, at this time, he was really diligent enough.

He is truly one of the most dedicated and professional actors in Hollywood.

In his previous life, Yin Jun knew that there are many dedicated and professional actors in Hollywood, but it can be said that there are very few people like Tom Hanks who can be so dedicated and professional with two movie kings and countless box office success superstars.

"Tell him to go to the study. I'll clean up and go there!" Yin Jun said.

"yes."

…

After a while, Yin Jun, who had changed into casual clothes, saw Tom Hanks in the study.

Tom Hanks was wearing a very crisp suit, and he didn't look tired. It was obvious that he didn't drink much last night.

However, the excitement on his face still did not subside.

This is considered a normal person!

If his face were as plain as Yin Jun's, it would be a bit confusing.

"Master Jun!"

Tom Hanks saw him and greeted him quickly, "Did you have a good rest last night?"

"Not bad." Yin Jun shrugged, "What can I do if I don't give in? The world will still turn around as usual, and work must continue to be done!"

"That's good if you think so." Tom Hanks smiled, "I read several newspapers today, and they were all complaining about you!"

Yin Jun smiled brightly.

These newspapers have no good intentions.

The more they boast that Yin Jun should win the Oscar for Best Director, the more they create an atmosphere of opposition between Yin Jun and the film academy.

They couldn't wait for Yin Jun to start a fight with the film school, and it would be better to beat the shit out of him. Only then would it be happy and newsworthy.

If Yin Jun is fooled, I dare not say that there will be no hope for the best director in the future, but at least he will have to struggle for many more years before he can get back on track.

Tom Hanks must not have thought of that much at this time, so he was really complaining for Yin Jun.

It is.

The year before last, Tom Hanks watched "The Shawshank Redemption" and was deeply impressed. He felt that Yin Jun was definitely the leading director.

That's why he was so happy to agree to "Rain Man" last year, and so determined to go to a mental hospital to experience it.

Facts proved that he was right. Yin Jun used this movie to send him to the throne of Oscar winner.

But at the same time, it is a pity that Yin Jun himself missed the Oscar for Best Director for the second consecutive year.

In Tom Hanks' opinion, this is absolutely unfair.

Because he was Yin Jun's competitor, he also watched "The Makeup Artist" and felt that although it was somewhat interesting, it was compared to the wonderful narrative and expression of "Rain Man" and the human world that "Rain Man" wanted to convey. True Love is a completely two-level movie.

There's no comparison at all!

It is a great sadness that "Rain Man" lost to a movie like this at the Oscars!

When I came to Yin Jun's home today, Tom Hanks was relieved to see that Yin Jun was in good condition and not affected at all.

He was afraid that Yin Jun would complain about Oscar and no longer want to make movies in the United States. That would be a loss for all those who love movies.

"I invited you here today because I have a new movie to tell you about." After a moment of silence, Yin Jun said to Tom Hanks, "I wonder if you are going to take a break?"

"No, no." Tom Hanks waved his hand repeatedly, "I'm so young, why should I rest? I will definitely star in your movie, even if it's a supporting role!"

"You are not a supporting role, you are my designated protagonist." Yin Jun smiled.

But the next moment, he added, "But the protagonist this time is more difficult than the last one in "Rain Man". Are you mentally prepared?"

"Still more difficult?" Tom Hanks was subconsciously startled, but then his face showed joy, "Master Jun, are you preparing to compete for the Oscar for the third time? Is it "Forrest Gump"!?"

When it comes to "Forrest Gump", Tom Hanks feels like his whole body is shaking.

It was Yin Jun who used "Forrest Gump" to get Tom Hanks to sign a 30-year, 20-movie contract.

Tom Hanks is crazy about this book and the character Forrest Gump.

And in today's newspapers, critics frequently mention "Forrest Gump".

Everyone knows that as long as Yin Jun produces "Forrest Gump", he will definitely win Oscar favor.

If "Forrest Gump" cannot win Yin Jun the Oscar for Best Director, then the authority of the Oscar will be greatly reduced and it will be spurned by the people - what else can represent the United States more than "Forrest Gump"? What about spiritual stories?

Therefore, if Yin Jun wants to break the Oscar prejudice, "Forrest Gump" is the best weapon.

In other words, the Oscar judges are just waiting for Yin Jun to come up with "Forrest Gump", maybe!

"It's not "Forrest Gump."" Yin Jun shook his head unexpectedly, "It's called "The Pianist."

With that said, Yin Jun picked up a book and a manuscript from the table and handed them to Tom Hanks.

The first thing Tom Hanks saw was the book pressed against the manuscript.

The name is "The Pianist".

The book is very new, as if it had just come out of the printing factory.

The following manuscript is also from "The Pianist".

Come to think of it, this is the original novel and the adapted screenplay.

But Tom Hanks also noticed that in the author column of the novel, it was not written "Jun", but "Wladyslaw Schipilman"

"Mr. Schipilman is a famous Polish pianist. This is a book he wrote based on his experience during World War II." Yin Jun said at this time, "However, due to various reasons, it has not appeared on European and American bookshelves. . I spent a lot of energy and time to convince him to publish the book in the United States, and also sold me the film adaptation rights."

Tom Hanks nodded, "That book... was just published?"

"It will be on the shelves in the next few days." Yin Jun said with a smile, "You are the first batch of readers, read it carefully, and then read the script."

"good!"

Tom Hanks readily agreed, "But Mr. Jun, you said it's more difficult than "Rain Man". What do you mean specifically?"

Yin Jun said, "The pianist lives in terror and struggles to maintain his life, so in the later stages of filming, you need to lose a lot of weight."

"lose weight?"

Tom Hanks looked at himself and said, "I weigh 187 pounds now, how much do I need to lose?"

187 pounds is roughly equivalent to 85 kilograms.

Considering Tom Hanks’ height of 183 centimeters, this weight is very normal.

But if you want to star in "The Pianist", it's definitely not enough.

Yin Jun pondered for a moment, "If you can reach 130 pounds, it might be about the same... But if you can reduce it to 120 pounds, then maybe you can win another statuette."

Tom Hanks's breathing became rapid.

130 pounds is about 119 pounds.

120 pounds but only about 110 kilograms.

For his height, 110 pounds is definitely too thin, and he must be skinny.

But the temptation of an Oscar winner made him unable to control himself at all.

Since Yin Jun said this, he must be extremely confident.

After all, this is also his third Oscar-winning film.

If you miss this time, I’m afraid it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity again in the future!

After thinking for a moment, Tom Hanks nodded solemnly and said, "Let me give it a try!"

"good!"

Yin Jun smiled, knowing that Tom Hanks would rise to the challenge.

The satisfied young man then warned: "By the way, go practice piano for a few months now. This is also one of the basic skills."

"I see."

Tom Hanks smiled slightly, "I have practiced piano, so I'm not that unfamiliar. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to figure out the role well!"

"If you have this perseverance, you will naturally achieve success." Yin Jun was very satisfied with his attitude, "Then let us work together to challenge for the Oscars again!"

"I believe you will succeed this time!"

Tom Hanks also flattered a little at this time.

Yin Jun laughed.

The movie "The Pianist" was originally the breakthrough work of director Roman Polanski, and also the breakthrough work of Adrien Brody, a second-rate movie star.

It tells the story of the Jews being conservative, humiliated and struggling in that era.

Most of the old men in the film academy are Jews. They also like to watch movies that expose the ugliness and sympathize with the suffering of their own people.

If this doesn't impress them, I'm afraid Yin Jun will really have to play "Forrest Gump".

But Yin Jun has absolute confidence that this time, "The Pianist" will definitely give him what he wants! !
