Chapter 977 Here Comes an Oscar Judge (Asking for Monthly Votes)

Chapter 978 Here comes an Oscar judge (please vote for me)

The premiere will be followed by a cocktail reception arranged in advance today.

"Let the Bullets Fly" was released, and so many loved ones, relatives and friends came to show their support, and it was necessary to entertain them well to show off their friendship as a landlord.

Zhang Weiping was a little distracted.

He did not expect that "Let the Bullets Fly" would be so well-produced. The styles of the two film geniuses, old and new, did not conflict on the big screen, but coexisted harmoniously.

Such an opponent made his trust in Zhang Yimou shaken for the first time.

Does "Three Guns" still have a chance to win?

On the contrary, Zhang Yimou was very calm.

After so many years, I have encountered all kinds of things.

What's more, Zhang Weiping looked down on Jiang Wen, but he didn't.

Only those who work with Jiang Wen know how many wonderful ideas Jiang Wen has in his mind.

He collaborated with Jiang Wen on "Red Sorghum", and the cooperation process was not very pleasant, but later he chose to continue working together on "Speak Well".

That's not love, it's admiration that cannot be denied in my heart.

Even if Jiang Wen's movie surpasses him - no, it will definitely surpass him!

He himself was not satisfied with the movie "Three Guns", so how could it compare with Jiang Wen's proud film this time.

What's more, they are fighting as father and son soldiers, master and apprentice working together.

Can't beat it, can't beat it.

Hao Yun did not let An Xiaoxi attend the reception. He would watch the movie first and then the premiere. That would be too tiring and the place would be messy.

When it comes to cocktail parties, people in the west focus on parties, while people in the east focus on drinking.

Of course, people in the west may still need reading materials.

On the contrary, it is safer for those who like to drink.

It's just that some people have trouble controlling themselves after drinking too much, and they have to let others give them face.

This kind of person just loves face.

If you don't drink his toast, he will make both of you look ugly.

An Xiaoxi can't drink at all now.

Not participating is the best option.

She was also very relieved about Hao Yun.

She wasn't worried at all that he would pick wild flowers while she was pregnant.

Hao Yun has had too many opportunities to mess around, but he has been as honest as a quail for so many years.

However, without An Xiaoxi around, there are indeed many Yingying Yanyan who want to occupy the magpie's nest. After all, there are indeed many juniors in the director world who have risen to the top.

The director's wife had to hug each other for warmth.

An Xiaoxi now also belongs to the circle of directors' wives. Not long ago, Jiang Minli invited her to have tea with the directors' wives.

Various sister groups are very popular in the entertainment industry.

Which circle you can enter and what status you have in the circle will be of certain help to your future development.

At the reception, Hao Yun dealt with the guests with ease.

"The movie you made this time is really good. It's a pity." Gu Changwei said it was a pity that he missed cooperating with Jiang Wen in order to make "The Beginning of Spring".

Jiang Wenyou asked him if he would be the director of photography.

It's a pity that he refused.

"Don't say that, Director Gu. The film "The Beginning of Spring" was really well shot. Teacher Jiang Wenli's performance is something Xixi admires greatly." Hao Yun also complimented the director's wife beside him.

"Call me sister, why are you so angry?" Jiang Minli chuckled.

"Haha, I was young and ignorant before, but I will definitely have no problem calling you sister."

Hao Yun dealt with the couple with ease.

But he no longer wanted to get involved in their messy things.

Until now, Zhang Jingchu is still in Hong Kong circles.

"Is your new movie going to get an Oscar? Next year or the year after?" Gu Changwei asked curiously.

He happens to be an Academy Award judge.

However, this jury is different from the three major European film festivals.

The three major European film festivals only have a few judges, all of whom are considered powerful, but the Oscars has between five and six thousand judges.

For example, there will be 5,777 people in next year's session, and Chinese faces will account for 9 seats.

Including Lu Yan, Chen Chong, Wu Junmei, Chen Kaige, Gu Changwei, Li Shu, Wu Yushen, Li Lianjie, and Zhang Ziyi.

Faced with the judge's seat that "with me there is not much, but without me there is not much", in fact, most Chinese have not participated in voting for several consecutive years.

Gu Changwei won numerous photography awards for his work on "Red Sorghum" and "Farewell My Concubine", and eventually became one of the Oscar judges.

However, after fulfilling his voting rights for several years, Gu Changwei lost his patience.

Now I suddenly think about it, oh, I am actually an Oscar judge.

He heard that Hao Yun had made an award-winning movie in Hollywood and had shown amazing acting skills.

Some people even said that he almost caused himself schizophrenia in order to act.

That's why Gu Changwei wanted to sell him a favor and planned to vote for Hao Yun when he went to participate in the award evaluation.

"It's probably too late next year. I plan to premiere it in Cannes and then compete for the Oscars the year after next." Hao Yun said about his plans.

The three major European film festivals have a strong "exclusivity". A film can only participate in one of the film festivals. If you "step on both sides", neither party will give you an award.

But if you have participated in three major European films, you can still participate in the Oscars.

A typical example is "Brokeback Mountain". With this film, Li Shu won the Golden Lion Award at the 62nd Venice Film Festival in 2005, and then won the 78th Academy Awards in 2006, including the Best Director award. awards.

“I personally suggest that you don’t do this, it’s better to focus on choosing one of them to compete for the prize.

The Oscars are different from the top three in Europe. This is a vanity fair and an annual summary of Migo movies.

On the surface, it is a struggle for the film, but in fact it is a struggle between production companies, the redistribution of power and the layout of award attribution. Whether the final film wins the award has a lot to do with the intensity of film promotion.

As a newcomer and a Chinese, you cannot have both, one of the top three in Europe and one of the Oscars. "

"Actually, I'm not sure whether movies are more suitable for Oscars or Cannes. Berlin is too focused on current affairs. I've already won Venice."

"The criteria for judging are very simple. The three major film and television majors follow the 'small elite route', while the Oscars have a huge voting team - the votes are sent to five to six thousand people under the film academy and voted by secret ballot.

Think about it, all academy members have the right to vote, and the sampling range of five to six thousand people determines that this is a popular award.

The public, to a certain extent, rejects difficulty, eccentricity and individuality. So some people jokingly said that Oscar took the "popular loser route". "

What Gu Changwei has more than Hao Yun is experience.

In the first few years when he became an Oscar judge, he was quite excited and studied the Oscars thoroughly.

But after playing it a few times, I discovered that this is a game exclusive to Migo Movie.

Chinese movies are out of the question.

Because Oscar judges are generally older and still have biases against Chinese films, Chinese films must be much better than other films in order to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

An example is that when Chen Kaige and his son's "Farewell My Concubine" won all the awards, when it came to the Oscars, several judges said that "Farewell My Concubine" no longer needed the Oscar's approval.

Hao Yun found another way and went to Hollywood to make movies.

It seems that they want to use the Miguo movie to gain Hollywood status first, and then take the path of Chinese and foreign co-productions.

From the perspective of a senior, Gu Changwei was happy to see him come up with some tricks.

Maybe it will work out.

"It's quite a headache!" Hao Yun sighed.

Therefore, Gu Changwei, an Oscar judge, gave Hao Yun a detailed science introduction to some of the things here.

What are Oscar outposts and weathervanes.

After the movie is released, we can work hard in this direction.

What else is the essence of Oscar.

The Oscars have had this original intention from the beginning: to establish another evaluation system besides box office to crown art.

There are also Oscar awards principles and so on.

Hao Yun really learned a lot. Seeing that Gu Changwei said his mouth was dry, he agreed to continue chatting next time.

Hao Yun must decide whether "Manchester by the Sea" should focus on Europe's top three movies, or try for an Oscar.

Hao Yun has won awards from each of the three major European companies, so he has a certain degree of confidence.

Oscar is unsure.

If you really want to challenge Oscar, it is definitely a nightmare copy.

Hao Yun must find a way to build momentum for "Manchester by the Sea."

Joining forces with Paramount is the best choice, but I don't know if Paramount is willing to go all out to help.

If that doesn't work, you can give the distribution rights to Paramount.

After entering Two Thousand Years, Paramount was not doing well. It only won an Oscar in 2008 for "No Country for Old Men" co-produced with Miramax.

I believe they should also be eager to win some awards for their films.

This "name" can be produced or distributed.

Hao Yun is inclined to submit "Manchester by the Sea" to the Oscars, what if he gets a best actor title that Leonardo DiCaprio has never dreamed of winning.

But he was worried that because he was Chinese, he would not be favored by the film academy.

The three major European film festivals generally require films to premiere at their film festivals. Therefore, if you participate in the Oscars, you will not be able to go to the three major European film festivals.

Then there's really nothing left.

This matter needs long-term consideration, and Hao Yun couldn't make a decision for a while.

He hasn't finished editing the movie yet, so there's no need to make a decision in a hurry.

He found Han Sanping who was chatting with someone, and first apologized to him and offered to borrow the old man.

When he got to a place where no one was around, he asked in a low voice:

"Uncle Han, what's the current situation of Ning Hao's movie?"

Ning Hao finished filming a movie in June, but it failed to pass the review.

After watching the film, Hao Yun also felt that Ning Hao's film was a bit dark. There was almost no good person in it, and the ending was of a type where there was no hope.

Hao Yun's "Hello!" "Mr. Tree" has no hope, but there are no good or bad people in him.

In "No Man's Land" all the characters are bad.

Moreover, the movie is also suspected of demonizing no man's land, so it is indeed not easy to pass the review at this time point.

"My suggestion is to wait a few years and make changes."

Han Sanping also felt a headache when he thought about this matter. Those things had not happened when Ning Hao's movie script was approved, and the review was not serious at that time, so he passed it off after a quick look.

Now it’s impossible to film it, and everyone thinks Alexander is the best.

The investment structure of this film is Heidou Media, Anhao Film and Television, Huaying, Yingyi Entertainment, Huanyu, and Ninghao Studio.

There are too many people who can speak for this production lineup.

The most important thing here is Han Sanping's attitude. If Han Sanping does not take this project seriously and is unwilling to help, the film may never be released.

But now Han Sanping is very concerned about this project because of Hao Yun. The film reviewer can't just kill it without saying anything. At least they have to give an explanation.

"I think that reviewing is something that has no standards. It is often loose and tight, ambiguous, and unpredictable..."

Hao Yun's words are shocking. In front of Zuo Shandiao, the big boss of the entertainment industry, he did not hide his dissatisfaction at all and said: "If you want to talk about the danger of the core, then "No Man's Land" is nothing compared to "Let the Bullets Fly."

"You didn't see how many people visited the set when you were shooting "Bullets" and what kind of people visited the set." Han Sanping looked around.

When they were chatting, no one dared to get close to them.

"Tell me, could it be that they are deliberately blocking our project? I heard that Director Lu's father has a good relationship with them."

Hao Yun suddenly said.

"Ahem..." Han Sanping almost choked on his drink. He looked at Hao Yun in astonishment and said, "How is this possible!"

"Why not? Most of the people who review films are screenwriters and writers, and these two types of people don't like me."

Hao Yun had reason to doubt this.

Lu Yu was quiet, or temporarily quiet, but his father was still jumping around.

The review of "No Man's Land" failed, and Zhao Baohua gave the reason: it violated the reality of life, the characters were too gray, and the tone of the story was too dark.

He is also a screenwriter, and he even supported Lu Yu's "Jinling Jinling".

Lu Yu's "Jinling Jinling" was taken off the shelves ahead of time, and he was not affected.

Literati look down on each other, but they also stick together.

"No matter what reason they use to block it, you should see the essence through the phenomenon. You should also know why this movie was blocked, right?"

The reason why Han Sanping can still talk to Hao Yun calmly about this is because he really regards Hao Yun as a junior.

Hao Yun is Jiang Wen's direct disciple, so they are in the same group and are natural allies.

If it were an ordinary director who came to confront him, he would have walked away long ago.

"That incident is actually in the past. I can ask Ning Hao to slightly downplay the background of the story."

Hao Yun doesn't mind waiting for the movie for three to five years, nor does he mind making changes. What he cares about is being targeted.

Damn it, Ning Hao is under my protection. If you block him, it's the same as blocking me.

It doesn't matter if you block me, but you can't target me.

"Also change the ending, even if it's a little vague, just like "Bullet"," Han Sanping sighed and said, "Don't try to challenge the system, there's no need. Many times it restricts us, but it also protects us."

He's worried that Hao Yun is floating.

For a new and great director like Hao Yun, nothing can stop him from getting carried away.
