My ex-wife is a big star

Chapter 287 Film History No.1

Soon, it was time for the awards for Best Animated Feature Film.

Three Disney works, one DreamWorks, plus a foreign language film "Spirited Away" for the United States.

Jiang Shu's mentality is still relatively calm, and he already has the Golden Bear Award.

Whether this is present or not has little effect on his future.

Of course, it has a certain impact on the honor of personal career. After all, if a movie has both Berlin and Oscars, it will be No. 1 in history.

Netizens watching the live video in China at this moment may be more excited than Jiang Shu.

When the award presenter shouted the name "Spirited Away", the barrage became even more exciting.

In fact, many domestic netizens do not know that this is the English translation of Qianxun.

But seeing the crazy barrage for a moment, you know that the winner is Jiang Shu, otherwise the barrage would have been cursing.

Amid the applause of many guests in the audience, Jiang Shu stepped onto the stage and briefly said a few words of appreciation.

During the Berlin Film Festival, he spoke Chinese.

This time he spoke English.

The main difference is the nature of the two ceremonies.

Oscar is essentially an awards ceremony in the United States, and more than 99% of the audience are Americans.

If you can speak English yourself, then do as the Romans do.

If you don't know English, then speak Chinese and find an interpreter.

Just like if one day, the Golden Rooster Awards also set up foreign language film awards, and foreigners came to China to receive the awards.

If he can speak good Chinese, but at the awards ceremony he only speaks a foreign language that the Chinese guests in the audience cannot understand, it is obviously inappropriate.

If you can't speak Chinese, it's natural, but if you can speak Chinese, it's a bit impolite.

Jiang Shu is the same now, he can speak English as long as he knows English.

Domestic social media news is the fastest.

Jiang Shu's acceptance speech on stage has not yet finished.

The topic of Chihiro's winning Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film on Weibo has already topped the search list.

"Brother Jiang is awesome!"

"Damn it, I hit it!"

"Hot knowledge, the last time a Chinese film won an Oscar was more than 20 years ago!"

"A movie won the Oscar in Berlin, and now Brother Jiang is really unprecedented [狗头]"

"The point is, Jiang Shu is only 27 years old! If things go on like this, let's pre-order the No. 1 movie history in the future!"

"..."

After briefly delivering his acceptance speech, Jiang Shu returned to his seat.

There must have been messages from many people on the phone, such as Gu Yaoqing.

But Jiang Shu didn't touch his phone, and he wouldn't look at his phone until the awards ceremony was over.

If you just took out your phone to check the news and was caught by the camera shop, it would be bad.

The audience doesn't know how long you've been looking at your phone, they just feel that you're playing with your phone while the awards ceremony is going on on stage...

Jiang Shu just watched the show honestly, although he felt that it had become boring.

until the end of the awards ceremony.

Jiang Shucai replied to his wife first, and then he did not leave directly.

Instead, I greeted some Hollywood stars at the scene, including the behind-the-scenes team members of this Oscar.

After all, work on the next film will start in the United States, so it wouldn't hurt to have a chat with them.

After the awards ceremony, Jiang Shu will start preparing for Shawshank.

Some well-known film companies in Hollywood have already contacted Jiang Shu for cooperation.

For example, Universal, Fox, and even Disney, which started out as an animation company, approached Jiang Shu and expressed their willingness to invest in Jiang Shu's new film.

Because Jiang Shu has stated before that the new movie will be shot in the United States.

Then you have to find a local film company to cooperate with, and things are much more convenient.

Moreover, Jiang Shu's films in China broke box office records one after another. They couldn't possibly not know that the future of cooperating with Jiang Shu is relatively certain.

Of course, just because they are willing doesn't mean they are willing to pay directly. At least the script is very important.

In the next few days, Jiang Shu was negotiating with several companies.

They all liked the script.

However, when negotiating, Jiang Shu must be one of the very few directors who directly said to the other party, "This film may not be so profitable".

Ordinary directors must praise their own works in order to attract more investment and more benefits.

Jiang Shu would pour some cold water on them first.

There are many people who like this movie all over the world, but its box office performance was really not ideal that year.

Just over 2000 million U.S. dollars at the box office, but a lot of people around the world have seen this movie.

Obviously, except for some of these people who bought legal video tapes and CDs, most of them still watched pirated resources.

Although the film studio is still profitable in the end, the timeline is relatively long.

This time, how many fans around the world are willing to walk into the cinema to support it, who knows?
But don't be too pessimistic, it's okay to make some money.

In the worst case, it should be earning a little less.

But no matter what, Jiang Shu will not regret leaving this movie.

In the end, Jiang Shu chose to cooperate with Universal Pictures.

The latter only made one request that Jiang Shu must agree to, adding another black actor to the film.

Jiang Shu also expressed his understanding, so let's add another black brother!It doesn't affect the story.

In the original film, the male second Reid is a black man.

Except for him, the other boys in the protagonist group are all white.

But in fact, in the original novel, Rhett is also a white man, but the director changed him to a black man in the movie for some reason.

There is a passage in the film where Andy asks: Why do people call you Rhett.

Because Ruide is red in English, it is a bit strange to call a black man red.

Rhett jokingly replied: Maybe I am an Irishman!
This is a small easter egg. In the original novel, Rhett is a white Irishman.

Many netizens analyzed why Red, a black man named red, made a long speech like doing reading comprehension.

In fact, the root cause is that the character in the novel was originally called red, but the director changed the actor to a black actor without changing the name.

A week later, Jiang Shu got on the plane back to China.

Berlin Golden Bear + Academy Award winner directed, plus Universal Pictures produced and distributed.

Obviously, such a work has already attracted the attention of the media and some movie fans before it was officially approved.

Although the proportion of investment is still Jiang Shu's own company pays more.

But Universal Pictures is still in the name, which is more conducive to marketing and publicity.

With such a configuration, the actors of the film are naturally very easy to find.

Jiang Shu handed over the previously prepared list of actors to an executive in charge of Universal Pictures who was in charge of contacting him.

The actors on the list, as long as the current schedule allows, all readily accepted the invitation.

It is now early March, and both parties expect the movie to start shooting in early June.
