At first, I just wanted to make money

It is impossible for Shen Xudong to write a screenplay independently...

Including "Carol", he just wrote a script outline, key plot points, and then the specific content and plots were jointly completed by the screenwriters in the studio.

He's not a typewriter, even if he is, he can't handle the English script!

Not to mention a movie like "Juno" full of American slang.

It's strange that he can write it...

But he can judge!
Each project requires an average of six screenwriters. These screenwriters basically sit on shifts, go to the screenwriting room for eight hours a day for meetings, and go to the company to write scripts when they are assigned. They can also discuss with colleagues while writing, and everyone can communicate at any time.

Of course, they also have the right to sign the name - written by XX, literal translation means XX wrote.

The screenwriters of "Carol" are Shen Xudong, Phyllis Najhar and the original author Patricia Highsmith.

The screenwriters of "Juno" are Shen Xudong and Diablo Cody.

After these two dramas, both of them became famous in one fell swoop, the kind that can lead a team independently...

Of course, this stuff has nothing to do with Shen Xudong, and he has changed another batch of screenwriters for "The Fault in Our Stars".

Oh, "Little Miss Sunshine" is an exception. His memory of this film is too deep-Shen Xudong in his memory has played several films...he is very familiar with the lines.

He was at the hotel with Gong Li...

There is no discussion about art. On the one hand, the makeup artist will come later, and the "Carol" team will also come - the Oscar red carpet!
On the other hand, the dress Gong Li wore was a custom-made dress, so it was not easy to mess with the essence of art.

Although it wouldn't make Gong Li lose money, if the relationship between a piece of clothing and the brand is deadlocked, it's not good!

Gong Li was nominated for an Oscar, and the commercial value skyrocketed, and several international brands came to his door—originally planning to find an international chapter...

The current Oscar, for most actors, means top-notch status, which is the lifetime pursuit of a bunch of international actors.

In addition to the rising popularity of actors, their popularity and commercial value have also soared.

Among other things, Nicole Kidman relies on the honor of Oscar queen, even if she becomes a box office poison, she will have no worries about drama appointments for the rest of her life-she can also do TV dramas without movie invitations.

What's more, now that a bunch of international brands are entering the Chinese market, Gongli is very suitable...

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon on February 2, there was already a sea of ​​people in front of the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles.

Media and reporters from all over the world blocked the entrance tightly.

Since the movie "Carol" won 6 nominations, there were a lot of Chinese journalists present, and Chinese journalists could be seen in the four interview areas.

It's a pity that domestic video sites have not won the right to live broadcast, but there are still many live broadcasts with pictures and texts, and Sohu and Sina have arrangements.

In fact, domestic netizens' attention to overseas film festivals is mainly based on whether anyone they know has been nominated...

You are like this year's Berlin Film Festival, "Tuya's Marriage" won the Golden Bear Award, the discussion among netizens is not high, many people don't know who Wang Quan'an is...

Gong Li is different. It has long been a famous brand in Chinese movies. There may be many domestic audiences who don’t like Gong Li, but if you say you don’t know or have never heard of it, it’s somewhat personal.

——The high-definition resources of "Carol" have long been available on the Internet.

The box office in North America was 2700 million U.S. dollars, the overseas box office was 3400 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 5000 million U.S. dollars.

By the way, some media deliberately asked Zhang Ziyi's opinion - nomination for an Oscar...

Of course Zhang Ziyi would say, 'She has always been the best in my heart! '

As for being sincere...

Is it important?
Gong Li now surpasses her in terms of commercial value and awards, this is a fact!

If you don't accept it, you have to hold back.

There was also a question about Zhang Yimou’s opinion, and he was more frank: “She has always been the best actress in China, and I am not surprised to be nominated for an Oscar this time…”

Of course, many film critics and film experts also analyzed the probability of winning the award and so on.

Most think that the probability of Gong Li winning the award is not high-it is not high. The four major indicators, the Golden Globe Award, the British Olympic Games, the Film Critics Association Award, and the Trade Union Award, all lost to Helen Mirren of "The Queen".

Most film critics believe that this year's Oscars will be the year of Martin Scorsese's peak - there is no need to predict at all, look at the best director award guests: Spielberg, George Lucas, Francis Copp pull…

Clearly, congratulations on his coronation!
Four Hollywood directors in the 80s: George Lucas, Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, and Steven Spielberg.

If you sell your feelings, all the movie boys back then have achieved success.

Pulling back, in fact, Gong Li also knows that his chances of winning the award are not high-even if there is an accident, Meryl Streep in "The Devil Wears Prada" is more likely to be crowned.

So, when I was interviewed by the reporter on the scene, I clearly said, 'I have done my best to get nominated, of course I want to go further, but the probability is not high...'

Li Min said in an interview before that "Oscar is like a battlefield. It has to build momentum for itself and intrigue with each other. From the beginning to the end of the four-month campaign, it is physically and mentally exhausting." I still don't believe it. , I have to believe it! '

'After this experience, I don't want to come again anyway, there are too many factors other than acting and movies! '

When it came to Shen Xudong, he was more straightforward: "Oscar is a North American awards ceremony, and the Academy must have its own tendencies. I have never figured out how those people's heads were so long. They actually think that "Gladiator" is better than "Drug Network"? Shakespeare in Love is better than Saving Private Ryan..."

"When one day, movie fans in our country stop being troubled by conspiracy theories about why Hollywood likes us, doesn't like us, and what's their intentions, it should be the time for the official rise of Chinese-language movies!"

"...I haven't participated in the awards season much, how could the academy award the best adapted screenplay to "Carol"?"

Well, that's right, the Academy did not award Best Adapted Screenplay to "Carol" but to "The Departed", but Best Original Screenplay went to "Little Miss Sunshine"...

That's right, the screenwriter is Shen Xudong!
Shen Xudong... the whole body is numb...

It's really numb, "Little Miss Sunshine" is of course the work of his screenwriter, but... this film awards season has nothing to do, the only thing that has no suspense is the Best Supporting Actor - "Little Miss Sunshine" Alan Arkin awards season Beat Mark Wahlberg (The Departed) multiple times…

Screenplay awards are rarely won...

He always thought that the winner would be "Babel" or "Pan's Labyrinth"...

The previous wind vane is also equally divided between these two works.

With such a move all of a sudden, Shen Xudong didn't prepare his acceptance speech at all.

Catch the ducks on the shelves...

……

After receiving the statuettes presented by Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, Shen Xudong took a long breath, and then said: "Thank you everyone, thank you Academy for awarding me the screenplay award, let me make a long story short..."

"Thank you, Harvey, who saw this script and bought it out at a high price. Thank you to the director and actors for their wonderful performances..."

"Actually, when I was writing "Little Miss Sunshine", I felt ridiculous. After I finished writing, I felt that if someone is willing to invest in the production, then this film must be able to move people."

"As it turns out, I was right!"

"Finally, I would like to thank the fans in China, without you, I would not be able to get to where I am today...Thank you everyone!"

Well, it was a bit rushed, but the acceptance speech was not bad.
