I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 204 A Letter From America
The Venice Film Festival is over.

It can be said to leave in good spirits and return in defeat.

Comrade Jiang Wen was very hurt and got drunk that night with Qin Muchu.

However, the news that Li An won the Golden Lion Award was sent back to China, and it was a carnival.

In 2004, Li An won the Golden Lion Award for "Brokeback Mountain", but "Brokeback Mountain" is a foreign film, and the award-winning "Lust, Caution" this time is a real Chinese film.

The sense of national pride exploded in an instant, and the major media reported the relevant information of "Lust, Caution" overwhelmingly, and the heroine of the movie, Tang Wei, also became famous in one fell swoop.

Become the most discussed female star at the moment.

Especially when the uncut version of "Lust, Caution" was released on Hong Kong Island, the large-scale plot put her on the cusp for a while.

There are both praises and criticisms, but overall they are positive, thinking that she is dedicated to art.

……

In this way, the time came to October unknowingly.

"The voice can be calmer, just like sharing your day with someone when you are chatting, lighter, not so heavy."

In the dubbing room, Qin Muchu is dubbing for Zhang Songwen, the director of Zhang Songwen.

The character lines are all okay, but there is a problem with the narration part of the movie.

Zhang Songwen's understanding is different from Qin Muchu's. When he narrates, he uses a very heavy tone, as if he wants to express the suffering of the character.

Hearing Qin Muchu's words, he nodded and readjusted, and entered the recording studio again.

After a while, it ended again.

"Speak a little slower, don't be in a hurry."

again...

Dubbing work is so boring, every word has to be grinded, and the actors are very exhausted both mentally and physically.

Fortunately, most of the scenes in the movie are recorded live. Only in some very noisy places, there is no way to record live, so I choose post-dubbing.

Before you know it, the sky is getting dark.

"It's hard work, go back and rest early, it should be almost the same in two days." Qin Muchu patted Zhang Songwen on the shoulder.

"It's not hard." Zhang Songwen waved his hands again and again.

There was some hesitation on his face, Qin Muchu saw it:

"Brother Wen, just tell me if you have anything to say."

Zhang Songwen smiled embarrassedly:

"I heard that our movie is going for awards, I don't know, what kind of awards are we going for?"

Looking at Zhang Songwen's expectant eyes, Qin Muchu could also understand his curiosity, no actor could refuse the temptation of awards.

Qin Muchu didn't hide it, and told him the final result directly:
"Berlin and Oscar."

"Berlin!? Oscar!?"

Zhang Songwen's eyes widened instantly, his face was half surprised and half worried.

swallowed saliva;
"Is it so big to play when you come up? Don't you think about it in China?"

"Think about it, go to those two first, and look back at the Hong Kong Film Awards in April next year, the timing is just right.

Our goal is clear, as long as the first two can be shortlisted and nominated for the main competition unit, we will work harder at the Hong Kong Island Awards. "Qin Muchu said with a smile.

This is not his modesty, but the truth.

Jiang Wen's running with Venice not only hurt Jiang Wen, but also quieted Qin Muchu's restless heart.

"The Sun" can be regarded as a literary film, and it is an absolute literary film. It stands to reason that this kind of film should be particularly popular with film festivals, and has a high chance of winning awards.

But "The Sun" was an upset and failed to produce any results.

Therefore, the awarding of the film festival's awards is really unpredictable. Qin Muchu has already resigned, so as not to be like Jiang Wen, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

At the moment, I am coaxing my son at home, and I am very depressed, saying that I want to accompany the child and give the child a complete childhood.

The failure to win the award for co-authoring also has the effect of awakening fatherly love.

As for why Qin Muchu didn't sign up for the recent Golden Horse Awards, it started in December.

Two reasons.

The production of the film is expected to be completed in November. If it is released directly after production regardless of the schedule, it will barely catch up with the Golden Horse Awards.

But this year's Golden Horse Awards has basically been decided by default - "Lust, Caution".

Everyone has won the Golden Lion Award, and the Golden Horse Award jury will not deny it the award if there is no problem with its brain.

What, you are better than Venice?
That's fine, you can play by yourself, and everyone will not participate in the future.

Although the Golden Horse Award has a lot of manipulations in the underworld, it doesn't dare to do this to death and completely destroy its credibility.

Therefore, "Lust, Caution" is bound to sweep the Golden Horse Awards this year, and Qin Muchu doesn't want to be cannon fodder.

Another reason is that the Berlin Film Festival gives priority to films with world premieres. It is impossible for Qin Muchu to reduce his possibility of being nominated for the Berlin Film Festival just for the Golden Horse Award.

If it weren't for these two reasons, Qin Muchu would actually like to participate in the Golden Horse Awards. After all, in this era, the Golden Horse Awards are indeed the most valuable awards for Chinese-language films.

Both the golden rooster and the golden statue have certain limitations.

Especially the Golden Statue, which is very exclusive of films outside of Hong Kong Island.

The reason why Qin Muchu would consider participating is because "When Happiness Comes Knocking" itself has a large number of Hong Kong actors. Although there are not many roles, it can be regarded as the first half of a Hong Kong film.

two is……

Playing shady scenes with Qin Muchu on Hong Kong Island, Xiang Jiajia Yinghuang, can you stand it?

……

Inside the hotel box.

"Is "Lust, Caution" really that exciting? I heard that Tang Wei and Liang Chaowei went out of the country naked. Is it true? Isn't it?"

Yang Mi leaned over curiously, her eyes sparkling with desire for knowledge.

"Lust, Caution" has not yet been released in mainland China. The news from the media and Hong Kong Island is very pornographic and violent.

And it is foreseeable that when "Lust, Caution" is released in mainland China, the large-scale scenes in it will inevitably be deleted.

Therefore, Yang Mi can only ask Qin Muchu, who has seen the full version at the film festival, about "Lust, Caution".

"Well, naked." Qin Muchu replied.

Yang Mi became even more excited, and asked after her:

"Is Tang Wei in good shape? Where's Liang Chaowei? I heard that they did fake shows for real. Is it true?"

How to answer this question.

I watched the film with the eyes of examining art, why do you ask like watching a third-grade film.

vulgar!

Dirty!

Qin Muchu glanced up and down at Yang Mi, shook his head and sighed:

"You are destined not to be an artist."

Yang Mi was stunned, wondering why the question of the artist was suddenly brought up.

But these were quickly forgotten by her, and she locked Qin Muchu's neck from behind:
"Stop talking nonsense, tell me, how is your figure? Is it a fake show, isn't it?"

Big and soft.

Qin Muchu felt the "fluctuation" from the back of his head, but he definitely couldn't say that, unless he wanted to feel Yang Mi's fighting skills.

"Can't you just buy a ticket and go to Hong Kong Island to see it?"

"Tell me, I don't have time to go to Hong Kong Island."

While messing around, there was a knock on the door of the box.

Only then did Yang Mi let go of Qin Muchu, glared at him, and went to open the door.

Outside the door was a girl wearing a hat and mask, covering her tightly.

"Cissy!"

"Honey!"

The two girls cheered and hugged each other.

Qin Muchu pouted.

This is the difference between a boy's friendship and a girl's friendship.

Qin Muchu swears that if Zhou Jiaolun meets him, he will kick him to death.

"Where are Sister Li and Sister Huimin?"

Liu Xiqian asked, taking off her hat and mask.

Today is a gathering among their friends.

Yang Mi's "Wang Zhaojun", Liu Xiqian's "The King of Kung Fu", and Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin's "A Chinese Journey to the West" have all finished filming. Qin Muchu also has time to gather together, have a meal, and chat.

"Let's go to shoot commercials. It seems to be some kind of endorsement. The two are together."

Qin Muchu was a little uncertain.

He heard Zhao Mingyu mention this when he was working on a movie in the company during this period, saying that a big brand approached Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin, and the endorsement fee was quite a lot, more than eight figures, each !
So Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin changed their state of salted fish and ran to shoot commercials.

Sure enough, money is omnipotent, as long as there is enough money, salted fish can become diligent.

"What endorsement?" Yang Mi asked.

"I don't know, I didn't ask."

The endorsement of Zeng Li and the others was a big brand, and they had hired many big names to endorse. Qin Muchu's company also did a background check, and only after confirming that there was no problem did they let them take over.

Qin Muchu didn't pay much attention.

If it is lower than a small goal, is it worthy of me to worry about Mr. Qin?
"Hmph, what boss!"

Yang Mi rolled her eyes.

Then he asked about the gossip about "Lust, Caution".

"Lust, Caution"? I was also asked to audition for this drama. But the scale was too big, and it didn't work out in the end."

Hearing Yang Mi talk about "Lust, Caution", Liu Xiqian spoke.

"Ah? Really? Sissy, that scene was going to be naked. Fortunately, you didn't do it."

Yang Mi held Liu Xiqian's hand.

Actresses who are willing to act naked are still rare in China, especially in mainland China.

This is something that is inconsistent with the Three Views of Heaven.

"Well, that's why I didn't agree. Director Li An said he wanted to be naked, so he directly refused." Liu Xiqian smiled.

Because "Lust, Caution" is now a big hit, Tang Wei doesn't regret not accepting that role because it has soared into the sky.

It was the first time Qin Muchu had heard of this.

Liu Xiqian in "Lust, Caution"?
In my mind, I replaced Tang Wei's character with Liu Xiqian...

Amitabha, sin sin.

Qin Muchu shook his head, drinking saliva to calm down.

"What are you doing?" Yang Mi looked at Qin Muchu suspiciously.

"Drink water, can't you tell?" Qin Muchu put down the water glass calmly, without any panic.

If you don't have any acting skills, how can you get involved in the entertainment industry.

At this moment, the door of the private room was knocked again, and Zeng Li and Zhou Huimin also came.

After arranging and combining hugs, Zeng Li took out something from his bag, put it on the turntable of the table, and turned it in front of Qin Muchu.

"what?"

Qin Muchu picked up the things on the table and asked.

It is square and square, wrapped in yellow paper, about as thick as a finger's width, and looks a bit like a book in shape.

"Hui Min and I wanted to go to the company to pick you up, but Mr. Zhao said that you were leaving, and he also said that a package was just arrived from the United States, it was for you, let us bring it to you." Zeng Li explained.

From America?
Qin Muchu scratched his head, he didn't have any acquaintances over there, so why did he still send something.

Is it an American fan?

He tore open the outer wrapping paper, revealing the contents of the package.

A book and a letter.

"what?"

Yang Mi leaned over curiously.

"A comic book, and a letter."

Qin Muchu put the letter on the table, and the moment he saw the comic book, he probably guessed who sent it to him.

But why write?
Wouldn't it be better to send it directly by email?
"Comic books? Letters?"

Yang Mi looked puzzled, then thought of something, widened her eyes, and pointed at Qin Muchu:
"You also have a godfather over there?"

Qin Muchu was bewildered by Yang Mi's sudden sentence, and hit her on the head with a comic book:
"Are you all right?"

Yang Mi snatched the comic book into her hand, turned it over and said:

"Aren't comic books only read by children?"

"So this is what my American sugar daddy sent me?"

"Look, you admit it!"

"Ha ha."

Qin Muchu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Yang Mi, and reached out to ask her to return the comic book:

"Do you understand you? Give it back to me, don't break it for me."

"Who do you look down on? I passed CET-[-], okay?"

Even though she said so, Yang Mi read it for a long time, and she really didn't understand a single word. She only saw a piece of iron armor flying around in the cartoon.

"Stingy! Don't read it!"

Sister Mi waved her hand and slapped the comic book in front of Qin Muchu.

Qin Muchu clicked his tongue:

"I just admire your illiterate but not timid look."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Yang Mi punched Qin Muchu in embarrassment.

I don't work in Hollywood, so why is my English so good?
Qin Muchu didn't fight with Yang Mi. After putting away the comic book, he picked up the letter and opened it to read.

One second, two seconds...

Qin Muchu put down the letter.

"It's over so quickly? Did your father say a few words to you?" Yang Mi moved her curious little head over again.

But Qin Muchu handed the letter to Liu Xiqian:

"translate."

"Haha, you still say that I am illiterate, don't you also understand English?"

Yang Mi was as happy as if she had discovered a treasure, and immediately retaliated against Qin Muchu's taunt just now.

Qin Muchu touched his nose, a little embarrassed.

It can't be blamed on him, the English in the letter is written in a straight line, a bit scribbled.

His English level is only good enough for daily communication, and it is not impossible to read English at this level, but it is just like doing English reading comprehension, which takes time and effort.

How about letting Liu Xiqian, who grew up in the United States, translate for her.

On the other side, Liu Xiqian got the letter Qin Muchu handed her, looked at it briefly, and was a little surprised:

"This guy's grammar and some words are from a long time ago, and Americans don't speak like that now."

"Can you understand?" Qin Muchu asked.

"almost."

Liu Xiqian cleared her throat and began to translate:
"Dear Mr. Qin, I am a dying old man on the other side of the ocean. With gratitude, I write this letter and send it to you with my child.

I don't use a mailbox, although many young people have urged me to use that, so you can receive my thanks sooner.

But I think the letter is more solemn and more sincere.

I have also learned about the culture of your Celestial Dynasty. In your ancient times, friends communicated by letters. I think the relationship between us is the same.

If you are willing to be friends with me, an old man in his 80s, haha.

Oh, it seems to be a bit nagging, older people always do this.

Let's get back to the topic.

In my more than 80 years, comics are the things that have accompanied me the longest. I have created one character after another. Fortunately, they have also been loved by children.

But now times have changed, children can break away from paper and become characters on the screen for more people to see.

But it all required money, and that was what I lacked the most, so I had to put my kids on mortgages, one after another.

Believe the heartache of a father making such a decision.

Fortunately, you extended a helping hand at this time, so that I can reduce the number of children on the shelves and feel more at ease when I go to bed late at night.

I don't know how to thank you for your help. With such a large investment, you didn't even intervene. Your generosity and heart make me, an old man, feel ashamed.

Now, the movie is about to be finished, and I sincerely invite you to witness this moment. I am its father, and you are its savior. Only with your arrival can the movie be complete.

looking forward to your reply.

Oh, by the way, my email address is on the back of the letter, please reply me by email address, after all, you know, the old man has less and less time and is always impatient, haha.

Your friend forever, Stan Lee. "
