Chapter 160 The movie reflects reality and never compromises(2/3)

I feel like Cannes is nothing more than that, just like that. It was booked under the shady curtain even before it started. It turns out that this one of the three major international film festivals is not very elegant.

Zhao Donghuai said again, "After winning Cannes this year, I can also try Hong Kong's Academy Awards next year. At that time, I will invite some judges from Oscars and Cannes to join the jury, and I will also bring in some outside films to compete together."

"Regardless of whether Juno can win the Academy Award for Best Director in the end, it's not a bad thing to build up more resumes."

A moment later, Zhang Yimou and Huang Jianxin stood dazed outside Zhao's Financial Building. Looking at the bustling street scene with people coming and going on the street, Ah Mou lit a cigarette. He didn't sigh until he finished smoking, "Filter."

It’s broken, and I feel like it won’t stick together anymore.”

He has always thought that the major art awards in Europe and the United States are his lifelong pursuit, and he can chase them all his life. As long as he can go on stage to receive the award, it will be worth it.

This is the belief of a director with artistic pursuits.

It turned out to be nothing more than that.

Just like diaosi and goddess... Actually, there are no filters for self-development, and there are far less things to do.

Director Huang nodded, "After a month of filming, we have a deeper understanding of how European and American girls think about certain things and what their families think... I think Juno's book is more profound than when I first read it.

."

"but……"

All said and done, it's still the same, if the filter is broken, it won't stick back together. The original trajectory of this book can be nominated for Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Original Screenplay.

As one of the two people who personally directed and filmed the film, Director Huang still wants to complain about it, and he must not over-interpret it and "self-strategize under the aura of Oscars or Cannes".

………………

May 5th.

In the large office of Zhao's Financial Building, Zhao Donghuai had just finished the new day's simulation and called out to arrange a few trading operations when he saw Qiu Shuzhen pushing the door open and walking in, "Boss, Sister Min and the others have left, right?"

Director Zhao nodded, and A-Zhen happily ran over and touched the water with a dragonfly, nibbling away and swallowing the whale.

After more than forty minutes, Azhen was suddenly startled, "It's bad, it's really bad, I forgot. I came to report to you this time that Adjani came to audition."

Zhao Donghuai, "..."

…………

More than half an hour later.

When Isabel Adjani walked in, she stared at Zhao Donghuai looking up and down with a strange look on her face.

The actress's expression was full of complexity and doubt, and she was strongly questioning it, but she still went straight to the point, "Zhao, you plan to direct a new film, and you want to continue using me as the heroine?"

She went to North America in early April to shoot the heroine in Forrest Gump. Of course, Forrest Gump hasn't finished filming at this stage. This blockbuster won't be finished until three or four months.

But (Forrest Gump) is a standard male protagonist, and all the big scenes, including the core selling point, are all about Forrest Gump and the dragon.

Adjani concentrated on filming her scenes first, and the filming was completed in half a month.

Zhao Donghuai nodded, "Yes, this is a new script. I have been resting for more than half a year. I plan to give it a try as a director. I also plan to compete in the Olympics or Cannes and other film festivals."

The name of the script is (Never Compromise). This is a very interesting movie. The original version was a heroine drama filmed by Julia Roberts in 2000. It tells the story of a twice-divorced single mother with three children. She is almost penniless.

He's almost like a North American female version of the homeless man.

Asking a lawyer to take her in, she worked part-time in a law firm to earn money and raise children. She unexpectedly discovered that a certain community contained major environmental pollution. The toxic groundwater had been harming the health of community residents and could cause fatal diseases.

Then, the heroine relied on her perseverance and perseverance to move the community residents one after another, allowing her to become everyone's spokesperson. With the help of a law firm, she sued the large group that caused this carcinogenic pollution.

That target is Pacific Gas and Electric Company, which provides more than half of the daily or industrial and commercial electricity, gas and gas used by more than half of the people in California.

Successfully won the lawsuit and was awarded US$333 million in compensation!

(Never Compromise) was released in the new millennium, and its global box office was just like that, US$260 million, which was not too explosive. However, this movie won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress.

Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, etc., a lot.

There are a bunch of Golden Globe Awards, a bunch of other first-tier awards in North America.

There are also many nominations for the European Film Awards and the British Film Academy Awards. Even if it does not compete for awards at film festivals such as Cannes, it is still a matter of screening.

After all, what Cannes requires is that if you want to compete for the prize, it must be a film that has not been released on a large scale when competing for the prize, in order to be eligible.

At this stage, Zhao Donghuai's big move is to operate the Hong Kong Island Film Awards and make the Hong Kong Film Awards' brand name brighter.

(Juno) After finishing this year's Cannes, it can continue to compete for awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards next year. Next year, (Forrest Gump) will operate the North American Oscars and the Hong Kong Film Awards at the same time.

As for himself, he plans to make a film (Never Compromise) to compete for Oscars and Hong Kong Film Awards.

Not only can you win prizes, but if done properly, it will also trigger a new round of sensational effects!

Because the 2000 film (Never Compromise) was adapted from real events in North America!

In the future, in the 1990s, there will really be a woman in North America who dropped out of high school, divorced and raised a child, and will sue Pacific Gas and Electric Group in the field of environmental protection in North America for destroying the environment. The pollution caused a large number of terminal illnesses among residents of a small town called Hinckley.

cancer.

We won the lawsuit and received more than US$300 million in environmental compensation from the other party!

In the 1990s, it was a time when we had to go through a long lawsuit and win!

Now it was filmed in 1986 and released this year. After it is released in North America at the same time, as long as you find the prototype character, let her learn the operations of the heroine in the movie in advance, and collect evidence in advance to sue the gas and electricity boss...

As long as the momentum is built up, this version of never-compromise cannot be spent with more than 200 million US dollars in the world.

The more sensational the real-life event is, the influence of the movie will be greatly increased!

If it weren't for this linkage effect (the movie's plot is brought into reality), Zhao Donghuai would not have directed this movie himself.

Political correctness and environmental protection bosses in North America also need to promote and exert various efforts. He also wants to shape Adjani into a representative of female rights, environmental protection and other buffs in Hollywood.

While Isabel Adjani was carefully watching the script, Zhao Donghuai was also thinking that at this stage, Adjani is the best example of someone who can play this leading heroine well, followed by Lin Qingxia, Hu Huizhong, and they have

That acting skill.

The core of this heroine drama is the performance of the heroine, as well as the wonderful scenes inside and outside the court.

On the contrary, the 2000 original version added some ambiguous scenes in addition to the heroine's personal charm and courtroom scenes. After its release, countless viewers complained that it was boring.

Including those ambiguous scenes in such a movie theme is a complete waste.

Furthermore, there are so many swear words that it was rated an R-rated movie in North America.

R-rated movies are restricted, and it is recommended that you are over 17 years old to watch them. However, isn't this nonsense...a movie that shows a single mother working hard, raising children, and transforming into an environmental fighter, fighting various polluting companies, and debating inside and outside the court.

Theme movie.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It was rated R because of too many swear words.

It's so nonsensical.

In the version he is showing now, although the heroine has been divorced twice, a neighbor man will silently like her and support her, but his emotional expression is very restrained.

There are no ambiguous scenes, and more than 90% of the swear words have been cut out. Only when some people are emotional will they swear.

The script is set in Hong Kong, allowing Adjani to be single with a child and sue the Hong Kong CLP Group and Li Zhaoji's Hong Kong and China Gas.

As for the wonderful scenes inside and outside the courtroom? Not to mention, there is really no shortage of good scripts, good performances and good scenes here in Hong Kong, whether in movies or in TV series.

Adjani herself is 31 years old, single and raising a child. When she meets such a good actress, and with her acting skills, it is not difficult for her to win an Oscar and win a Best Actress nomination or Best Actress Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards.

The Best Actress Oscar trophy is difficult and requires competition, but aren’t we all working happily together at this stage?

After a while, when Zhao Donghuai finished drinking two cups of tea, Isabel Adjani suddenly looked up and said, "It's a good book. If it's done well, it will be a breakthrough for my performance. I'll take it, and you can pay me for it."

, anyway, I am still counting on you, director, to make me rich."

Zhao Donghuai just smiled and asked Zhang Min to send him a glass of champagne. When he came over to clink glasses, Adjani asked curiously, "I came over to read the script and waited for more than 70 minutes?"

"Are you really fake??"

“I don’t believe it??”

Zhao Donghuai was instantly confused, and Zhang Min started to feel embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I forgot to remind Sister Zhen..."

Director Zhao also coughed lightly and said, "Accident, purely accidental, blame me."

The 70-minute performance is really anticlimactic, after all, Jane has more than one mouth.

Adjani took a sip of champagne and said nothing. She just kept staring at Director Zhao. She was 31 years old and had been single and raising a child for many years. She was actually quite empty.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have such a bad temper that I would look for strange movie scripts to vent my emotions.

After glancing around for a while, Adjani couldn't help but say, "How about you let me take a look??"

"Zhen came in for so long and didn't go out? Now everyone is gone??"

Zhao Donghuai coughed loudly.

An accident is something no one wants.

………………

It has been decided that the new movie (Never Compromise) will star Isabelle Adjani, so the rest are some supporting roles. The main focus of this movie is two divorces and three children.

The older kid can be played by Cameron Diaz. The younger two? Just take a look.

And when Adjani was destitute, couldn't even pay her phone bill, and still owed various bills, the lawyer who took her in... was also the barrister who later helped Adjani sue the Electric Power and Gas Group and win the lawsuit?

There are many choices for barristers, just find an experienced actor to fight in and out of court.
To be continued...
