Chapter 338 Big Trouble (Earth)

"The Back Wave" won the Academy Award for Best Picture, but did not win Best Director, Best Actor or Actress, which made this year's Oscars seem a bit fragmented.

To a certain extent, it also shows that this film does have brilliant creative intentions, master-level artistic presentation, only passing shooting techniques and the expressiveness of the male and female protagonists.

Time Warner will naturally make a lot of money for this. They began to regret not signing a more binding contract with Truman, which caused Truman to go to Disney. At this time, Todd's "Joker 3" shooting plan also Especially attracted the attention of Time Warner.

Two clowns, two Oscar winners, the idea is really good.

In any case, Truman's title has an additional "Oscar Award for Best Picture" honor, which has brought Hollywood's attention to him to another level in March, and almost everyone is watching this lucky and miraculous Chinese actor.

As usual, Truman did not accept any interviews. Adam answered some innocuous questions instead of him, but there were some particularly sharp ones that even Adam couldn't answer.

"If the state court decides to sue Truman in the Lee Malvoy case, will Truman appear in court?" one reporter asked.

Adam was stunned for a moment, and looked at the reporter. He recognized that it was a reporter from THR. This media has always been known for being well-informed. Has there been any rumors?
……

After the Oscars.

Everyone's attention continues to return to the filming of "Shang-Chi 2".

The pre-shooting went smoothly, and "Shang-Chi 2" was officially named "Shang-Chi: Mastering the Secret of Fate" ("Shang-Chi: Mastering the Secret of Fate").

Disney's publicity department has also started to produce promotional materials, and various news have been released one after another. Among them, "Shang Qi 2" will be directed by the Chinese director and actor Truman who just won the Academy Award for Best Picture, and Truman also owns The right to box office dividends.

The former news is not news, but the latter "has the right to box office dividends" is.

Disney is indeed a chicken thief. Time Warner pushed "The Waves" to the best picture Oscar, and Disney took the opportunity to promote it.

Time Warner takes immediate benefits, while Disney earns long-tail income. In order to catch up with this wave of dividends, Disney even preliminarily scheduled "Shang-Chi 2" for August, which is too late for a fantasy hero masterpiece.

Most people in Hollywood don’t know that Truman joined the group with their own funds. They can’t help feeling that although Disney didn’t participate in this year’s Oscar battle, it quietly reached out to the winners. Maybe it’s the biggest beneficiary. They also feel that Disney The treatment given to Truman is generous.

Although Hollywood has been sluggish in recent years, due to the oversupply of the U.S. dollar and the depreciation of the currency, the box office revenue can be said to be rising. Correspondingly, there are fewer and fewer actors who can get box office dividends.

The previous one was Tom Cruise who received nearly 7 million US dollars in dividends from "Top Gun", which is enviable. Now Truman also has this kind of treatment?Why?Just with an Oscar?

But everyone inside Marvel knows that Truman brought money into the group, and what he gets can’t be regarded as box office dividends that belong to personal income, but can only be regarded as return on investment. This is very fair. If you are full of confidence in a movie, you are willing to bear half of the shooting cost. , you can also get the corresponding treatment.

At the end of April, the production team of Shangqi, which was filming in Mexico, received a bad news.

The state court in California issued a subpoena to Truman, and Lee Malvoy's case finally came to court.

His family accused Truman of "intentional injury", and the state court accepted the complaint after a two-month judgment process.

Once this news appeared, it became the headlines of newspapers across the United States. Americans began to discuss the matter, and countless talk show columns began to express their views.

Except for Jimmy Kimmel, who was hit on the head by a Japanese actress with a high heel and became the biggest laughing stock of this year's Oscars, who has a strong prejudice against Truman, the other points of view for and against are equally divided.

Those who support the lawsuit still start from the perspective of human rights. They believe that criminals also have clear human rights and should not be abused or deliberately injured.

Those who opposed the lawsuit supported Truman as a hero of justice, and no punishment should be imposed on Truman, otherwise no one would dare to fight back against the murderer in the face of a shooting case.

Public opinion is hot, and almost the whole of the United States has entered a big discussion time. The last time it was discussed so hotly was the "Black Lives Matter Kneeling".

The shooting at the Disney headquarters is not special. Cases like this happen almost every day in the United States. The reason for the heated discussion is because of Truman’s status as a Hollywood Chinese star and the particularity of this shooting. The only person seriously injured The murderer, the defendant the hero who stopped the crime.

As the center of public opinion, Lee Malvo's family received free legal services and numerous private donations, and appeared in front of the camera every now and then to make tearful accusations against Truman.

As for Truman, it was only at the beginning of June that he finished shooting "Shang Qi: The Secret of Life" in Qingcheng Mountain, and then he returned to Los Angeles non-stop.

At the airport, the crew was blocked by reporters.

"CH, will you appear in court? What time will the court be held?"

What the reporters are concerned about is not the filming progress of "Shang Qi", but Truman's attitude towards this matter. Over there, Lee Malvo's family has been the hot spot in the United States for almost a month. Here, Truman has not made any response. , the media needs an attitude from Truman.

"The filming of "Shang Qi 2" is progressing very smoothly, and the expected release time is at the end of August or September. For the specific time, please pay attention to the finalized poster of our crew on METE." Truman replied.

The reporter who asked the question was a little confused, did Truman hear it wrong?

"CH, what we are concerned about is not "Shang Qi", but your criminal case. If you are found guilty, you will be sentenced to about 6 years in prison. Aren't you worried?" Another reporter reminded Truman.

"Yes, our expectations for the box office are very good. I think it can get at least 6 million US dollars in the global box office." Truman continued to answer.

"CH, it's not good to play tricks like this!" a reporter complained, "You should at least answer our questions directly."

"Thank you for your questions. We are short on time and we have to be busy with the post-production of "Shang Qi". I look forward to seeing you at the premiere~Thank you~" Truman smiled crystal-like to all the reporters, and immediately spoke with All the crew got on the commercial vehicle that came to pick them up, and went straight to the Disney headquarters with Adam in the commercial vehicle.

The reporters stared blankly at the passing shadows of the vehicles.

Ting Jun in the car apologized to Truman and Adam very sorry: "I'm sorry, I got the wrong manuscript for Teacher Truman. I didn't expect that the reporter didn't pay attention to the movie, but only focused on this case."

"It's okay, it's not good to answer anything anyway." Adam's expression was a little serious, "We're really in big trouble this time."
