Chapter 157 Cannes and North American Oscars under the influence of money(3/3)
After certain news spread wildly in Hollywood, the undercurrent became more and more turbulent. Even among the many film practitioners currently serving the (Forrest Gump) crew, few of them could actually get paid to get on the fast track.
However, the US$1 million that Cameron Diaz's parents scraped together has been transferred through international banks and joined the Zhao Financial Group to continue operating foreign exchange.
It has started to make profits again!
Look at the vivid examples of Adjani, Zun Long, Robert, Bruce Willis, Cameron Diaz and so on. Every day, they are making money outside the film and television industry.
Pick up money.
What a great example this is!
Old Jack is not in a hurry about this matter. He still wants to wait at home for Zhao Donghuai's crew to take the initiative to visit him and wait for the confession...
After waiting for several days, his grandchildren, sons, and daughters all became anxious.
Every day that passes is equivalent to watching the money that was originally earned by you passing by and flowing away from your eyes?! What the hell is that money!!
In a capitalist society like North America, all the people living in the world are not running around for capital and money?
So old Jack had to come. He was almost bored to death by his family at home!
These are real family members, not the "family members" that anchors will talk about decades later!
He couldn't stop talking about financial investment to make money, so he could only praise the good script of "Forrest Gump". After all, this script really suits the taste of academics.
After praising the script, Old Jack took another serious look at Zun Long and said with a smile, "John, you are a very good actor. I have also watched your Year of the Dragon. If it hadn't been for too much resistance, your Year of the Dragon
There is also a chance to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor."
"Pity……"
It's only the 1980s. Do Chinese actors want to win Oscars? Are you dreaming? He was the one who killed the Oscar operation for the movie "Year of the Dragon" in the first place.
In the Hollywood film industry, how can it be possible for a Chinese to be the protagonist? Not even with a good supporting role.
However, in this era, the biggest weapon that can eliminate discrimination is the American knife! Old Jack is rich and can save hundreds of millions of dollars. It is the result of a lifetime of hard work. However, as long as he can get on the financial track
express train.
These hundreds of millions may turn into 20 million or 30 million US dollars in a short period of time... The total value may double or triple?
He could hold back and wait for the crew of Forrest Gump to ask for help. His family couldn't help but wait for Forrest Gump to be filmed, released, and the Oscars would be held next year.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Will this biggest trend and bonus period disappear?
Old Jack can only come and praise people, in public, and with his status and status, as long as someone works, the (Forrest Gump) crew will at least win the best adapted screenplay, or the best editing, and the best in next year's Oscars.
Nominated for Best Art Director, right? It’s deserving of such a small award.
Otherwise, we would not be able to live up to Old Jack’s status as one of the kings of North American award circles!
As long as the movie is finished and the acting skills are up to standard and the quality of the movie is up to par, there will be North American capital, North American film companies participating in the production, and a large number of white actors and even black actors?
Is it ridiculous not to give a few small nominations?
When Old Jack looked at Goo Jai, after a few glances, he decided to forget it. For the 1987 Oscar nomination for Best Newcomer, he felt that he would vote with his feet and choose a white man like Cameron Diaz, or a pure North American white man.
rather than Chinese.
Cameron Diaz’s acting skills are not good enough?
Before leaving, I told Robert and Aaron to take their time filming and give them good guidance and training. Adjani was also an Oscar nominee many years ago, so she is not a stranger.
As for whether to nominate Best Actor and Best Actress in the end? That really depends on the situation. Whether Zhao Donghuai really leads them to make a fortune. If someone named Zhao dares to lead them, they dare to give it to them!
Old Jack just came over to take a look, brag about this and that, and left with a copy of Forrest Gump. Superpowers mean he can do whatever he wants.
But his visit was really exciting for the entire crew!
Even though everyone has confidence in the script (Forrest Gump) and their respective acting skills and other performance abilities, but the oldest member of the academy’s chairman’s jury comes to praise someone?? This is really exciting.
Then……
On the 11th, during another filming session, Robert welcomed a new visitor, Uncle Sam, who was the first vice-chairman of the Oscar Academy Presidential Jury in March 1986.
This is also a boss whose term is one year and cannot be re-elected for more than four years. However, Uncle Sam will be the deputy in March. If Old Jack cannot be re-elected next year, it is obvious that Uncle Sam has a high probability of becoming the new senior boss.
Uncle Sam once again affirmed the script of Forrest Gump, as well as the acting skills of Zun Lung, Adjani and others. The entire crew has more confidence and morale!!
After sending Sam off and before rebooting, Robert noticed that the mentality of the entire crew was obviously a little different, so he smiled and grabbed the loudspeaker and announced that everyone should take a half-hour break.
As soon as he finished his speech, a group of people gathered around Zun Lung. Goo Jai said excitedly, "No way, Uncle Long, our crew really hopes to be nominated for an Oscar next year? Even if it is a small nomination, it is still very impressive!"
"
Zunlong was both excited and dazed at the same time, "Those two are here, and they are giving all kinds of compliments. As long as the filming goes smoothly, it shouldn't be difficult to be nominated. We have to work hard..."
He started studying Peking Opera at the age of 10 and started acting in small roles in 1976. This is already 1986. He is confident in his acting skills. Even when he plays opposite Isabelle Adjani, he feels that he will not lose too much and he can catch up even if he works hard.
Go up.
But an Oscar nomination or something?
Based on his performance and the weight of his role in (Year of the Dragon), the Oscars were not even willing to give him a nomination for Best Supporting Actor... Year of the Dragon also received nothing at the Oscars. The entire cast did not receive any Oscar nominations. It is better for France to at least give him one.
(Year of the Dragon) a trophy for Best Foreign Language Film.
Now, the filming of this new movie has not been finished yet! It should even be said that it has not even been 10 days since Forrest Gump was officially launched.
Bruce Willis came over excitedly and said excitedly, "John, I am a supporting character in Forrest Gump. As long as we film well and work hard, and the finished film is not as long as the script, then
I……"
Wouldn’t he also have a chance to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor or something like that?
The first and second eldest members of the Academy Chairman’s Jury have all been here. It is estimated that they may meet the third and fourth eldest children in the next few days. With so many big guys coming here in person, giving a trophy for the best supporting actor really doesn’t count.
Too much!
And he is an orthodox North American white man. He is a great match. He has a much higher chance of winning Best Supporting Actor than Zun Long and winning Best Actor. After all, he is white.
Once these things come true? Thinking about it, Bruce Willis's heart suddenly sank. Damn it, he almost forgot. If things really come true, then Zhao's Pictures' brand name in the global film industry will only shine even more dazzlingly.
,brilliant.
Then there will be more and more competitors!
At this stage, the Zhao family has only one white actor. Bruce, who worked as a bit player for eight years before becoming popular, is currently good at both literary and martial arts. He can act in action blockbusters and can also play roles that require acting skills.
So (Die Hard) and (Forrest Gump), he got on board smoothly.
But wait until (Juno) wins a wave of awards at the Cannes International Film Festival, and (Forrest Gump) will win a wave of attention at the North American Oscars??
How many famous people will go to Hong Kong Island to look for opportunities? When thinking of this, Bruce just thought that Alexander, no, he had to work harder to perform.
………………
About the same time.
The crew of "Cat and Mouse", who were also filming in Los Angeles, waited for Fatty King to hang up the phone and said with a speechless and confused look, "Why do I feel that I should have been competing for the director of Forrest Gump?
"
"I feel that if we win, then we will truly gain both fame and fortune."
"It's crazy. All the big guys who award Oscars have come to visit us. So the film (Forrest Gump) usually has to be nominated for garbage, right? There is a lot of hope for a real award after the film is made. Why doesn't anyone come to us to rewrite the script?
What about turning?"
Xu Ke rolled his eyes wildly, "Can you shoot (Forrest Gump)? There are too many big scenes in it. The production fee is 20 million US dollars, which is 160 million Hong Kong dollars. Can you handle that kind of crew?"
?”
He felt that if Wang Jing was asked to shoot a club movie, Fatty Jing would be able to make things clear for him, but if he were to shoot scenes of the Vietnam War, or big scenes of Forrest Gump rising up in various fields to create miracles, A Jing would not be able to do it at all.
Given the fat boy scene, this guy can also film a war scene as a group fight scene.
After complaining, Xu Ke also took a deep breath, "Oscar awards, it's really..."
Fat boy Jinglang laughed a few times, patted his thigh and said, "I used to look down on the Hong Kong Film Awards at all. Even if they gave me a trophy, I might not go. But seeing today, Zhao Sheng is willing to be the main sponsor, so he might not be able to do it next year."
We have invited judges from the three major European film festivals and even the Oscars.”
"When the time comes, there will be another wave of films from island countries, South Korea, Europe and North America to compete for awards."
"This pattern has suddenly arisen and opened up. Let's film the cat-and-mouse game well. We can't win the Oscars. We must win the Academy Awards."
Chapter completed!
