Chapter 532 Is There a Chance to Win an Oscar?

Li Ye's words still worked. Wu Runfu, Chen Sihai and other roommates really took the movie tickets and bravely made appointments with several female classmates.

A few people once again grabbed the remaining hair oil in the dormitory, picked a few sets of the best clothes, and dressed themselves up to look a little "fashionable". They were extremely conceited for the movie that night.

In the 1980s, the form of entertainment in the mainland was very single, so eating, watching movies, and shopping were the "three standard love arrangements" between mainland couples for a long time, and watching movies was particularly anticipated.

Because the cinema was dark, couples who were attracted to each other wanted to do some small actions, so they were not so restrained and shy. As long as they could hold hands, it would be a substantial breakthrough.

In those days, if you could hold a girl's hand, then there would be a deep bond between the two of you, unlike decades later, when the kids would fight several people, or just break up.

However, Wu Runfu and others who had been cleaning up for a long time finally failed.

It's not that those girls broke their promise, but after everyone arrived at the cinema, they found that there were many Beijing University students here today, and the ratio of boys to girls was about 50-50.

If girls like Bian Jingjing and Wen Leyu were already married, they would naturally sit together with Li Ye and Sun Xianjin,

but those girls who were invited for the first time, because there were so many acquaintances present, basically sat with the girls they knew.

"Brother Yi, what did you do? Giving away so many tickets at once completely disrupted our plan"

"That's right, hundreds of tickets are all for consecutive seats, can't you be smart and scatter the tickets to every corner! Really, the last bit of oil is wasted."

"."

Li Ye really didn't expect this situation. The old bear of Chang'an Film Studio was righteous and got the best consecutive tickets for him, but Li Ye Luo complained about it.

"Okay, is that all your patience?" Li Ye curled his lips and said, "Since they accepted your movie tickets today, they think you guys are okay.

Since they think you are okay, why don't you continue to pursue them tomorrow? Can you use your brain?"

"Use your brain, do you think you are asking them to do math problems?"

Sun Xianjin, who came with him, also said contemptuously, "When they got the tickets, they knew they were all in the same boat, so why didn't they go to the scalpers over there to exchange tickets?

With their IQ, as long as they use their brains, there are definitely more solutions than difficulties, but they are just lazy and are still waiting for girls to pursue them!"

"."

Sun Xianjin and Li Ye no longer care about their roommates who are top students in the mathematics department, and enter the cinema in pairs with Wen Leyu and Bian Jingjing, giving a handful of dog food to their roommates who are already very depressed.

"They are right, right!"

"Is it right? Why don't we try again tomorrow?"

"Well, let's try again tomorrow."

Several roommates regained their confidence again.

. . . . . . . .

Because of Li Ye's interference, the filming of "Hometown Lonely Army" not only introduced funds from Hong Kong Island, but also introduced Hong Kong Island's publicity and promotion concepts.

Starting two weeks ago, all major newspapers have had various preheating soft articles, various gimmicks such as "80 million production blockbuster" and "historical war masterpiece", which are super advertisements in this year and have achieved a strong publicity effect.

Anyway, there is no such thing as fraudulent publicity in this year, so just do it as shocking as you can!

So today's cinema is full, and many people would rather spend a high price to buy scalper tickets to see whether the 80 million is worth it or not.

Facts have proved that movie tickets of a few cents are very worthwhile.

Before the main film of the movie begins, the audience first sees a short film.

This kind of short film was very popular in the 1980s, and a positive energy short film of "such and such advanced unit and advanced individual" was often put in front of the main film.

The later movie emperor Zhang Yi has a work "One Second", which describes a prisoner who insists on seeing his daughter in the movie, and his daughter appears in this kind of news short film.

However, the short film before "Homesick Lonely Soldier" is not such a newsreel, but a large-scale music MV.

As the music with a strong historical flavor sounded, the grand scene of the prosperous Tang Dynasty appeared on the screen.

"The flower-growing nation has a 5,000-year history of civilization. Among them, we have been the center of the world for 4,800 years, and the influence of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is one of the peaks.

The envoys from all over the world are learning our economy and culture, so as to spread the influence of this land to all directions."

The short film uses a cross-shooting method of photography and animation, and the coordinated use of music, color, animation, and narration is simply amazing.

When the audience watched this short film, they were unconsciously instilled with a consciousness in their minds-we have always been the world's number one, and now we are just dormant for a while.

Wen Leyu quietly approached Li Ye and whispered: "Is this short film the result of your persistence?"

Li Ye turned his head and leaned close to Wen Leyu's ear and said: "It is the result of our persistence, and you also contributed to it."

Wen Leyu shook his itchy ears, pursed his lips and gently hit Li Ye, and kept a distance from him.

There are many classmates around! I have to pay attention to the impact.

This short film is indeed the result of Li Ye's persistence.

At the beginning, Director Xie and others did not understand why they spent a lot of money to shoot a five-minute music short film. Just an ancient style soundtrack was enough to make people scratch their heads.

However, with the insistence of Mr. Huo Renqiang, the employer’s representative, the short film was filmed.

"Why are you always so reserved and humble? We should tell our ancestors how powerful they are in the most straightforward way.

A powerful hometown and a low-key hometown, which one do you think overseas Chinese will like? "

This is the reason for Aqiang, the former young and Dangerous boy in Hong Kong.

In fact, "Dunhuang" later filmed by Japanese people also showed the power of the Tang Dynasty in the film. After all, the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty in the film cannot be bypassed. If the Tang Dynasty is not awesome, why would you send foreign students here?

But they did not show the historical status of the Tang Empire in a positive way. Those who watched the movie only saw the grand historical scenes, but did not understand the specific significance.

Aqiang's reasons were finally recognized by everyone. Chang'an Film Factory not only found the best soundtrack, but also used their connections to use aerial photography.

And this short film also played its due role.

After the main film started, when the rows of cavalry were pressing toward the enemy in darkness, all the viewers were thinking - "So this is the number one army in the world at that time."

Even if the Tang Empire lost in the end, it still used the power of the Western Region Protectorate to compete with the then powerful Central Asian coalition for the number one position in the world. Even if it lost, it would still be number two in the world.

When the princess played by Pan Hong appeared on the stage wearing a gorgeous phoenix wedding dress, Li Ye heard the exclamations from the audience.

"It's so beautiful! Who is this?"

"Princess?"

"I said who is the actor?"

"I didn't recognize her. I just looked at her clothes. They were so pretty."

Wen Leyu's little hand grasped Li Ye's arm tightly, as if he was saying urgently, "Husband, I want this too, husband, I want it too."

Chinese people in the early 1980s were far less confident than later generations. Many people felt that developed countries in the West were more advanced and powerful than those in the mainland.

Even if the other person is just a little bit bigger than a nose, many people think that everything about the other person is good, even the clothes are good.

This movie is to let the audience know that we were once strong, and we have the potential to be strong again.

At the end of the movie, when a group of gray-haired veterans from the Western Regions finally saw the thick walls of Chang'an City after going through all kinds of hardships, the audience had fully accepted this sense of "we are finally strong again."

"Papa papa ~"

After the lights came on in the theater, all the audience started to applaud.

Wen Leyu took Li Ye's hand and walked out.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Be careful of being squeezed."

"Hurry up and buy a ticket to watch it again. I want to see the princess's clothes again. I think her fourth dress is different from the one I drew at the time."

"."

Thanks to the comic version of "Looking Homeward", the crew spent a lot of money to produce a large number of props and costumes based on the characters in the comics, especially women's clothing, and several of the women's clothing were designed by Wen Leyu.

Unfortunately, Wen Leyu and Li Ye did not buy tickets. They are not the only ones who want to watch it a second time. Many couples insist on watching it a second time.

If it were just a historical war movie, that would be fine, but Li Ye added a love story between a warrior and a princess, and there was also a gorgeous fashion show of the Tang Dynasty. Could it not attract viewers to watch it again and again?

Wen Leyu looked at the long queue to buy tickets and suddenly asked Li Ye: "If this movie is a hit, will I give you some money?"

Li Ye laughed softly and said: "My family has investments. The more people watch, the more money our family will get."

Wen Leyu immediately narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "That's pretty much it."

. . . . . . .

"Looking Homeward" was a hit, a huge hit.

Lao Xiong from Chang'an Film Factory was busy for several days, and it was not until nearly a week later that he brought a group of actors and crew to Gujun Literary Society.

Lao Xiong first asked people to put down several large baskets of gifts, and then held Li Ye's hand tightly.

"Brother Li Ye, it's really thanks to you this time! You gave us the script and you brought in foreign investment. It seems that our film is going to be a big success."

"Brother Xiong, it's too early to say it's a big success now," Li Ye said with a faint smile, "When the film wins awards overseas, it will be considered a big success!"

"Yes, yes, it's too early, it's too early."

Director Xiong immediately changed his mind and said: "News has also come back from Nanyang. Since the film was released at the same time, the theaters have also been full. Not to mention whether it makes money or not, just look at the comments in these newspapers."

Director Xiong took out a few newspapers, which turned out to be Chinese newspapers from Lijiapo and Malay.

"Brother Li Ye, read this," Director Xiong pointed at one of the newspapers and said nervously and excitedly: "They said that our film is likely to be the number one box office hit this year, and it also has a chance to win the Oscar. .Do you think this is possible?”

"."

All the actors and crew at the scene looked at Li Ye in silence.

Their eyes were as excited as Director Xiong.

"It's not difficult to be number one at the box office, and there is definitely a chance for an Oscar, but it's not easy."

Li Ye is not making unrealistic lies, although in a few years, there will be a "The Last Emperor" that won the 60th Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Nine awards including Best Artwork, Best Costume Design, Best Editing, Best Sound Effects, and Best Original Score,

But that movie was a co-production between Britain, Italy and China.

There are too many subtle reasons for awards like the Oscars.
