Chapter 2148 Discussion of Awards

Huaguo, Chang'an.

Zhang Yanmou at home is nervously packing up his things.

He wore that suit several times, but he still didn't feel comfortable wearing it. He still looked like an old farmer, and was laughed at by his daughter.

Apart from his wife and daughter, there are several other people at home at the moment.

The first one is Wang Pinjia, the director of Chang'an Film Studio.

This factory director is one of the most outstanding in the history of Huaguo film.

He single-handedly named two directors, the first is Brother Chen Kai who filmed "Yellow Earth" the year before last, and the other is today's Zhang Yumou.

Both of them became directors at such a young age because of Wang Pinjia's support.

And it's not just the two of them that Wang Pinjia helped. From the 1980s to the 1990s, there were many directors who were helped by him.

The second is Wu Tianming, who is also the director of Chang'an Film Studio. He went to Yin Jun for the filming of "Old Well", which was directed by Wang Pinjia.

The last one is Zhang Yaomou's old friend Lei Qiang, but he is not a film major, he works in the government, and is currently a small section chief of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau.

"Unexpected, unexpected!" Lei Qiang sighed incomparably: "We have not solved the problem of food and clothing here, and you are about to go to the United States to receive the award, and it is a world-class award! It is really a glory for us Qinling people! !"

Lei Qiang came early this morning, and he will drive Zhang Yanmou to the airport later in the unit's car.

Zhang Yanmou had to fly to Guangdong Province first, then take a train from Guangdong Province to Xiangjiang, and finally fly from Xiangjiang to Los Angeles.

The entire trip took 3 days, which can be described as very tiring.

But Zhang Yanmou didn't feel it at all, instead he was very excited, and he still felt a little unreal.

As Lei Qiang said, who would have imagined it?

He just responded to Yin Jun's invitation to shoot a movie. Although this movie is an American movie, it is not too troublesome in terms of difficulty to shoot.

Zhang Yaomou even felt that it was easier than "Yellow Earth", which he officially directed two years ago.

Because it was the first time he took the camera at that time, he was very nervous. He was so nervous that he was thinking about it 24 hours a day, and he couldn't sleep at all.

When he went to the United States, Zhang Yanmou was also a little flustered, but he saw that the group of people in charge were all from Xiangjiang, especially the director was Yin Jun, so he became more stable.

In this crew, the Americans are like outsiders.

So he played very well. After the first few days of running-in the camera, there was no mistake in every place, and he showed a lot of experience, which made Yin Jun praise him again and again.

To be honest, Zhang Yanmou felt very honored to be praised by Yin Jun.

But he never expected that Yin Jun would win him an Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography!

When the news from Qilin Culture came, Zhang Yanmou's first reaction was to joke.

But the next day, the leaders of the factory came, and even the reporter from Huaxia TV station followed behind. Only then did he know that this matter was true.

Immediately afterwards, he became famous all over the country.

yes.

Lin Qingxia is the queen of Oscar.

Yin Jun won the Oscar for Best Director.

But strictly speaking, neither of them are talents trained in the mainland.

Only this Zhang Yumou is the most direct mainland photographer, so why don't you say that the mainland, which is looking forward to international honors, doesn't promote him as a model?

So after such a round of publicity and commendation, Zhang Yanmou became the most prosperous person in Huaguo in the past two months.

Wherever he walked on the street, someone recognized him, and someone asked for his autograph.

Zhang Yaomou's character is very stable.

He barely drifted away.

No matter how many honors he has won.

He has always followed his own plan to do things step by step.

It is normal for such a person to be successful, and it is strange to be unsuccessful.

So even if he was a little dizzy, Zhang Yanmou soon came back to his senses, and continued to do his work step by step.

Of course, as far as the current situation is concerned, he was not asked to do anything else in the unit, but he was asked to do his best to prepare for the award ceremony in the United States.

The unit can't help much either.

The US dollar was given to Zhang Yanmou by Yin Jun a long time ago, and there was a full remuneration of 50,000 US dollars.

The visa was also processed for him by Kirin Culture Huajing Branch before, and it is still within the validity period.

This time the invitation letter was sent by Oscar himself, Kirin Culture had already said that when he arrived in Xiangjiang, he would send him an entourage to accompany him to the United States, so he didn't have to worry about all the trivial matters.

But they still ran up and down in the unit, and Zhang Yumou was moved by this enthusiasm.

When the day of departure came, my wife and daughter started to help prepare three days in advance.

Now Zhang Yaomou is doing the final inspection.

In fact, there is nothing to bring with him at all. The unicorn culture has been arranged, hotels, planes, food and drinks, etc., so he doesn't have to worry about it at all.

But we Chinese people will always leave some final protection for ourselves when we go outside.

So this hard pot helmet from Qinling, his wife also prepared one for him.

Zhang Yanmou smiled, but didn't say anything.

When a group of leaders and friends came over, several people sat here talking and chatting.

Hearing what Lei Qiang said, Wang Pinjia also said seriously: "Although I don't know how the filming of Mouzi is, I can tell from the previous "Yellow Earth" that he has learned his skills in Chinese opera. And Mr. Yin Jun is also one of the most famous directors in the world who is serious about his work. He can value Mouzi and let him direct "Forrest Gump", so he must have been selected after some selection.

I know that "Forrest Gump" is a classic film that hit the Oscars, so it is normal for an Oscar film to be paired with an Oscar-level photographer. Mouzi, you really became famous this time! I don't know how many people want to come to you to help direct the camera. "

But Wu Tianming smiled, "I'm still smart. I heard that Mouzi was going to take the lead in Mr. Yin's movie, so I slowed down the pace of post-production of "Old Well". Now if Mouzi wins an Oscar, we will immediately Just release "Old Well", I don't know how much more box office it will get! Anyway, let me follow the big hit!"

Zhang Yumou naturally knew that Wu Tianming was joking.

Originally, Wu Tianming was an excellent director, so how could he help add luster?

But from the perspective of the box office, such a heavy movie as "Old Well", with his current Oscar-nominated title, must be able to trick many people into watching it in the cinema.

As for whether he would be yelled at in the end, Zhang Yanmou felt that he didn't have to think about it, since he didn't do the propaganda anyway.

"But Mouzi, do you think you can win the prize?" Lei Qiang couldn't help asking.

"I don't know." Zhang Yanmou shook his head, "I have never participated in such the world's top awards ceremony, so I don't know what it is like, how can I guess?"

"I do know a little bit." Wang Pinjia has been to several foreign film festivals, and knows a lot about foreign award rules. "Actually, it's not a good choice this time. If Mouzi can win the award, then Mr. Yin Jun probably won't be able to win the award." On the contrary, if Mr. Yin Jun and Tom Hanks can win the award, then the award for the son will be suspended."

"What do you mean?" Lei Qiang didn't understand.

"This is the so-called sitting in a row, right?" Wu Tianming also understood: "It means that if the award ceremony gives you small prizes in a rush, then most of the big prizes will not be given. If you want to give it to you The big prize, the small prize will definitely not be given, because it’s all given to you, what do other people eat? Everyone has to get something, so it’s better!"

"That's right." Wang Pinjia said, "However, there are also some movies that can take everything. Didn't "Ben-Hur" in the United States win almost all the awards it was nominated for?"

"Then... so you put it this way, are they going to give a big prize this time, or not?" Lei Qiang was a little stingy.

Zhang Yanmou smiled wryly when he heard this, "We really hope that "Forrest Gump" will win the big prize, but we don't want it in our hearts... Either way is good, but neither is appropriate."

"hehe."

Wang Pinjia patted Zhang Mou, "Look aside, what should be yours is yours! If I were to help you choose, I would rather not have this award."

Although Zhang Yanmou is honest and calm, he is definitely a smart person.

Hearing this, he also understood what Wang Pinjia meant.

He is a photographer, even if he won the best photography award, what good is there?

yes!

There is honor.

But the more practical benefits were lost.

But if it was Yin Jun who won the award, it would be different.

When Yin Jun won the award, he would definitely think of Zhang Yaomou's credit, especially because Yin Jun won the award and Zhang Yaomou could not win the award. According to Yin Jun's character, he would definitely not treat him badly.

Zhang Yaomou must be compensated.

With Yin Jun's status and energy in the film and television industry, Zhang Yanmou was absolutely determined to win the wind and the rain at that time.

Especially Zhang Yaomou is a capable person, as long as he is given a chance, he can ride the wind and waves, all the way to success.

Not only that, if Zhang Yaomou benefits, then Chang'an Film Studio will also benefit, and everyone around him will benefit from it.

You see, after thinking about it like this, is it more practical for Yin Jun to win the award?

"I think everyone is happy." Wu Tianming is a little confident, "Forrest Gump is a winner-takes-all movie. It has many supporters in the United States. It is an era of reaction. If I were a judge You guys, I can’t praise it enough.”

"Of course this is the best way!" Wang Pinjia said with a smile, "No matter what, going out this time will give you a lot of experience! After you come back, you have to tell us about Oscar!"

Although he has made movies for so many years, he has never been to the Oscars.

Even for a Chinese filmmaker like him, Oscar is a very sacred place!
