Chapter 589 Nouveau riche(1/2)
The 1993 year in history was the Little Year of the Oscar Awards. Apart from "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Women" and "Shocking Four Hundred Years", there are almost no outstanding films, and the same is true for the competition in the best foreign language films.
.
The four films shortlisted for the best foreign language films, "Love Territory" (Russia), "Darnes Priest" (Belgium), "Faster" (Germany), and "Love Evidence of This Life" (France), are also unremarkable.
Finally, "Love Evidence in This Life" won the Best Foreign Language Film Award.
Now there are more competitions between "Qiu Ju's lawsuit" and "Farewell My Concubine". In terms of artistic achievements and award-winning results, these two works have to be one step ahead of the above four movies.
"Hope is not small, but winning a prize sometimes depends on luck."
"If you can win the award, it would be a record-breaking one!

Winning an award is like climbing a mountain. The peak of the three major international film festivals in Europe has climbed over. The only mountain in the Oscars is still standing here. Whether it is the film industry or ordinary people, they are naturally watching it horizontally.
Not happy with the eyes.
When talking about watching movies, everyone talked about "The Battle of Red Cliffs" which was just released on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
These people at the scene are considered to be the middle class of the city today. The promotional offensive before and after the release of "The Battle of Red Cliff" this year is like a tea. In the past few days, many media have also reported the grand occasion of the movie being released. It is not easy for everyone to watch a New Year movie.
strangeness.
Lin Chaoyang was also curious about their impression of this movie, so he asked a few more questions.
Everyone has good general comments on movies, and there are also several people who are critical of them.
For example, Su Mu, after graduation, he was assigned to the Department of Film and Arts of Yan and is now an associate professor. Because he is engaged in related industries, he has particularly strict requirements on "The Battle of Red Cliff".
"Business-wise, "The Battle of Red Cliff" is a successful film. But in art, Xie Jin completely gave up his own characteristics and artistic demands.
Xie Jin in this movie is too contradictory. If he wants to take care of business and make the movie good, he must start from the perspective of heroic historical view to shape people like Cao Cao, Zhao Yun, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Zhou Yu.
But when he filmed the Three Kingdoms, he hoped to show the side of "the rise and fall of the people are suffering", just like the scene after the end of the Red Cliff War in the movie.
It is possible to use long shots to show that local soldiers and the people are suffering from war, and victory does not mean much to them.
I can see that he wants to focus on individuals and specific people, but he dare not. He is afraid, he is afraid of destroying the creation of the first two hours of the movie, and the festive atmosphere of the audience watching the movie during the New Year."
When talking about his own business, Su Mu talked endlessly. Some people were afraid that Lin Chaoyang would not like his words, so they interrupted him.
Seeing this, Lin Chaoyang said with a smile:
"Su Mu said it well, and it's meaningful. "The Battle of Red Cliff" invested too much and created a record in Chinese film history. Xie Jin had to do it for commercial compromise. He actually did a good job."
Su Mu nodded, "I don't deny this. From the perspective of ordinary moviegoers, this movie is very good. From the perspective of investors, it is also successful. My evaluation is limited to an academic perspective."
"The Battle of Red Cliff" was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year to just nine days today, and the box office data for the first week was released yesterday.
Among them, the mainland is RMB 24.5 million, Hong Kong dollars, and the Wandao is RMB 84.6 million. If calculated in RMB, it is about RMB 55 million.
Such box office results are definitely a huge success.
In addition, markets such as Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia have not been released for less than a week, and the box office figures have not yet been released, but the responses from publishers in various places are very good.
Especially in Japan, after only three days of release, its popularity has surpassed the popularity of local Japanese and Hollywood movies of the same period, and it is directly catching up with Cheng Long's movies.
After talking about the movie for a while, Lin Chaoyang felt that the topic had been on him for too long, so he shifted the topic to Liang Zuo. He hugged his arms and watched everyone chat happily.
The banquet came to an end, and the atmosphere was still in a state of joy. At this time, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open. Everyone looked over and saw two strange faces standing at the door.
"Hello teachers, hello, seniors!"
The leader was rich and greasy, and he bowed with a smile when he saw everyone.
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing who this was, but Lin Chaoyang looked at the young man next to the man and looked familiar.
"I am so fat now that everyone can't recognize me now. I am Yu Xuesong from the National Political Department at the 79th level. I used to participate in activities of the May Fourth Literature Club."
After the fat man introduced this, two people immediately became impressed. Chen Jiangong stepped forward and looked at him, "Are you Yu Xuesong?"
"If you want to change it!"
"Your changes are too big.
"Blind, I'm getting fat when I reach middle age."
Although not many people met Yu Xuesong on the spot, seeing that he was really a classmate from Yan University, everyone still greeted him enthusiastically.
The young man standing beside him also followed in. Yu Xuesong introduced: "This is also our junior at Yan University, Xiao Huang, a graduate student in the Department of Economics."
The young man called Xiao Huang politely greeted everyone and came to Lin Chaoyang's side.
"Hello Uncle Lin!"
Everyone was confused when they heard his name. Where did they think of it? Did the junior brother become a nephew?
Lin Chaoyang looked at his face and asked hesitantly: "Are you Hu Wenqiong's son?"
Xiao Huang smiled and said, "You are so good at memory."
Hu Wenqiong is an old colleague of Lin Chaoyang Library. He took good care of Lin Chaoyang when he first started working.
Xiao Huang's name is Huang Jianhui. At that time, Hu Wenqiong went to work. During the winter and summer vacations, Huang Jianhui would follow his mother to the library to read books.
"You have grown up so old!" Lin Chaoyang sighed and asked again, "How is your mother now?"
"I retired two years ago, and now I'm using my remaining energy to resell books."
"She is suspended from work, but she is retired from work!" Lin Chaoyang teased with a smile.
Because he is the son of an old colleague, Lin Chaoyang has a very kind attitude towards Huang Jianhui.
While he was chatting with Huang Jianhui, Yu Xuesong, who was chatting with everyone, kept paying attention to the two of them. Seeing that the time was almost right, he found an excuse and ran over.
"Xiao Huang, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with Teacher Chaoyang! Teacher Chaoyang, I still remember your style in school now!"
Yu Xuesong came to toast with a glass of wine, and with a warm attitude, Lin Chaoyang clinked a glass with him.
Yu Xuesong just talked to Chen Jiangong and others about his history of making a fortune after graduation. His family has relatives in Xiangjiang. After graduation, he did not follow the assignment like other classmates, but went directly to Xiangjiang.
After arriving in Xiangjiang, I started building with my relatives, and later contracted the project myself and became a contractor. The experience was also inspiring.
Speaking of his purpose of returning to Yanjing, Yu Xuesong said: "I think I am sorry for Yan University's education over the years."
"Last year, I noticed that the mainland's film policy was relaxed, so I thought about coming back to start a film company and doing some cultural business, which is worthy of the four words "intellectuals."
"I am planning my first movie now. I plan to use our Yanda as the background and Haizi's life and death as the main line to tell the tide of poetry in the new era and the glorious journey of the 1980s-"
Yu Xuesong talked about his literary and artistic complexity with a lingering voice. When he mentioned poetry and Haizi, it touched many people present. Everyone was also full of interest in the movies he was preparing and kept asking questions.
While dealing with everyone's problems, Yu Xuesong focused on Lin Chaoyang.
After talking for a long time, he finally said, "I am a fledgling in the movie industry, and I am well-known for Lin's film industry. I am lucky to meet you today. I hope to have a chance to cooperate."
After laying the foundation for a long time, Yu Xuesong finally realized his goal.
In fact, Lin Chaoyang realized his intention when he entered the door.
This man was born in Yan Da, and he packed himself very well, but the slickness on his body made Lin Chaoyang instinctively dislike him.
Especially after listening to his movie planning, I feel even more unreliable.
"My wife is in charge of the film company, and I don't participate. I'll give you a call and you can contact the people from Yanjing."
Although he didn't like Yu Xuesong, Lin Chaoyang still gave him face, among which Huang Jianhui's son, the old colleague, took up a considerable factor.
"Thank you for your support from Teacher Chaoyang!" Yu Xuesong's face was excited.
"No need." Lin Chaoyang waved his hand and said, "You have to discuss the specific matters yourself."
"Yes, I understand." Yu Xuesong nodded repeatedly.
Then he poured himself a glass of wine and toasted Lin Chaoyang.
"Teacher Chaoyang, then I will say goodbye first."
"Dear teachers and friends, I'll leave first!"
Everyone had a long time to make a fuss before they realized that it was because of this. It turned out that this person came over to hug Lin Chaoyang's thigh. They thought it was Yu Xuesong who was so kind to see his old classmate.
Embryo! Disgusting!
After Yu Xuesong left, everyone complained that the world was getting worse and worse, and people's hearts were still the same, and a few words to tease Lin Chaoyang were inevitable.
The fact that Tao Yushu has now become the big boss of Xiangjiang has long been spread in their small circle.
From the professor's daughter who married a poor rural boy to Tao Yushu holding up half of the sky and building a big country, even the company's name was Lin Chaoyang's surname.
In everyone's eyes, Lin Chaoyang's marriage to Tao Yushu was like a smoke coming from the ancestral tomb.
How much shit I had in my previous life to marry such a talented and beautiful and loyal partner.
It makes people envious and jealous and hateful when thinking about it!
The party ended while talking and laughing. After leaving the private room, Lin Chaoyang was about to say goodbye to everyone, but saw a familiar face looking at him not far away.
Lin Chaoyang walked over, "Xichuan, why are you here?"
"Teacher Chaoyang!" Xichuan asked Lin Chaoyang and said embarrassedly: "I'll have a meal with someone."
Seeing his expression, Lin Chaoyang felt a little clear in his heart.
When Yu Xuesong wants to film poetry and Haizi, of course, Xichuan, one of the three major musketeers of Yan.
In fact, there are many poets who have committed suicide over the years, such as the direction of taking poison and the self-drunk Gome, but Haizi is the most famous.
"With the Mr. Yu just now?"
Nishikawa nodded, and then said what he learned.
