Chapter 155 "Movie Double Security"
On March 25, the 73rd Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Temple Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.
A total of 23 Academy Awards were awarded this time.
Among them, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Chinese director Li Min won 4 awards: "Best Foreign Language Film", "Best Original Score", "Best Art Direction" and "Best Cinematography".
It is the first film in the history of Chinese-language films to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
Once the news spread back to China, the whole country was in an uproar.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon wins the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!"
"Chinese director Li An won the Oscar. This is the closest Oscar to a Chinese!"
"As a martial arts movie with all dialogues in Chinese, the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the international market is unexpected!"
“Every time I direct a film, I try to capture, copy and update something that moves the audience but cannot be clearly expressed in words.
Li Min did it!"
"Hollywood's desire to dominate the world is being expressed. Facing "joining the WTO" and facing Hollywood, many filmmakers say they are ready.
What does it mean to be ready? If Chinese film directors as a whole reach the level of Li Min, they will be considered ready.
Today, many film directors have nothing else to do except pay tribute to Li Min, a hard-working Chinese director. Thank you Li Min."
The news that Li An won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film came back to China, and many media were enthusiastic about it.
Related reports made headlines about him for several days.
In the newspaper photo, Li Min is holding an Oscar statuette in one hand and a small piece of paper in the other.
He read out a long list of thanks to everyone who participated in the filming of the film.
This is something worthy of being recorded in film history, and this is something worthy of being written about by the Chinese media.
As usual, this incident has been covered in crazy reports in the country for at least half a month.
For example, publishing reports related to the Oscar awards to popularize science.
Or take a look at what Li Min was doing before winning the Oscar.
For example, topics such as "Failed the college entrance examination twice, "cooking the husband" at home for 6 years, Chinese director Ang Lee's human love and movie dream".
For example, publish some behind-the-scenes footage from the filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Another example is an in-depth interpretation of the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", etc.
Unfortunately, it was less than a week after Li Am won the Oscar.
News suddenly came out that "The global box office of "Taken" exceeded 200 million."
The box office of 200 million US dollars is probably at the first-tier level internationally.
But in China, this is definitely a breakthrough.
Good guy, the heifer flew on a plane, and the cow went to heaven!
In this era, any Mainland Chinese New Year movie that grosses over 50 million in box office is called the "dark horse" of the year and is touted for the entire year.
As a result, you directly broke 200 million globally, which is still US dollars!
The movie that won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language only has over 200 million, so it can still catch up!
For today's film market, Jiang Pei'an's "The Rescue" is undoubtedly a shot in the arm.
This happens to be the point where "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is winning an Oscar.
Everyone began to look forward to it in their hearts. Can our "Hurricane Rescue" come back to play with a grand prize?
“Domestic films are on the rise, earning US$200 million in global box office!”
"Jiang Pei'an comes from a humble background, but his rise is unstoppable!"
"If God had not given birth to Jiang Pei'an, domestic movies would be like dark night!"
A series of reports have been surrounding Jiang Pei'an, and even Li Min's enthusiasm for winning the Oscar has been suppressed by him.
First of all, although Li Min is very famous abroad and in the Bay Province, he is not well-known in the eyes of ordinary people in mainland China.
None of the films before "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have been released in mainland China.
Jiang Pei'an had not released any of his films before "The Rescue".
But his "Taken" had a high domestic box office!
It's a Lunar New Year movie, and it has a huge audience base. What's more, he has a "hot search" every three days.
In the words of later generations, it means "nationality" is high.
Comparing the two movies, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is definitely more meaningful than "Taken".
But in terms of visuals and plot, "Taken" is quite gripping, and the threshold for viewing is relatively low.
Ordinary people may not have watched "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but if you mention "Taken", they will definitely know the story of a retired policeman who breaks through the world.
Ever since, there has been this conclusion in China:
Li Min has won awards internationally.
There is Jiang Peian making money in China.
The title of the movie "Double Security" spread like wildfire.
When Jiang Peian heard this title, he was stunned for a long time.
Good guy, the mainland media is pretty good at following fashion.
Hong Kong Province has a popular "Double Monday" policy, and in mainland China, it is called "Double Security for Movies".
Only the mainland media dares to tie themselves to Li Min!
But if you think about it carefully, it really looks like that.
After all, he is already a box office guarantee in the eyes of the domestic media.
"Movie Shuangan, are you happy to hear this title?"
In the teahouse, Yu Feihong picked up the teacup and said with a smile.
"I'm so happy that I don't dare go out to meet people anymore."
Jiang Peian smiled bitterly.
Ever since the 200 million box office incident broke out, Jiang Pei'an's cell phone has not stopped.
There are all kinds of monsters and monsters, and I don’t know where his phone number was leaked from.
So much so that he now wears a mask and sunglasses when he goes out.
Fortunately, he is used to this kind of life. Anyway, as long as the movie box office is exploded, he will have to experience this.
Just as he was talking, Jiang Peian's cell phone rang again.
He glanced at his phone and hung up immediately.
"You should hire an assistant to help you take care of these things."
Yu Feihong suggested.
"It's too troublesome, so I'll just be busy for this period of time."
Jiang Peian waved his hand.
The current domestic brokerage system is not yet complete. Recruiting a broker is of little use other than to carry a bag, drive, and do odd jobs.
Well, it can also be simply understood as a secretary.
"Stop talking about this, sister, how are your preparations over there?"
Jiang Pei'an looked at Yu Feihong and asked.
"Everything is ready. The studio in Dian Province has been built in advance and is waiting for you."
When it comes to business, Yu Feihong's clear eyes are full of energy.
Jiang Peian nodded. "Love Has an Afterlife" was filmed in Yunnan Province.
Some of the scenes involving big scenes really need to be arranged in advance.
It is now the end of March or the beginning of April, and it is a time when the scenery is beautiful over there.
"It's no problem on my side either."
Jiang Peian thought for a while and said.
"I'm kind of looking forward to it now."
Yu Feihong held the fragrant cheeks and stared at Jiang Peian and said.
"What to expect?"
Yu Feihong smiled slightly and said:
"Director Jiang, who is as famous as Director Li Min, is about to give a wonderful performance in my movie.
And it’s your first appearance, so I wonder what your fans will think?”
Hearing this, Jiang Peian smiled and said:
"I should thank my parents for making my appearance worthy of the audience."
