How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 377 Li An’s [Brokeback Mountain] and Zhang Gong’s [Memoirs of a Geisha]

Listening to Zhang Nan's inhumane speech, Will Smith's face was full of bitterness and he wanted to say: You are showing off too much.

But due to Zhang Nan's current status, he hesitated and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Zhang Nan almost hurriedly pretended to be surprised and joked: "No, the cost is 5500 million U.S. dollars. Throwing away your low salary and production fees, how can you get 3000 million U.S. dollars to hire me? Will, shouldn't you? You want me to lower my guest pay..."

"No, I absolutely did not mean that."

Will Smith quickly interrupted Zhang Nan's speculation. He knew that he was giving Zhang Nan a lot of face by inviting Zhang Nan to guest star in the movie. If he asked Zhang Nan to lower the salary, Zhang Nan would probably leave. So he continued to explain: "The producer heard that I could invite you to guest star, so they specially added an investment of 3000 million US dollars."

"It's just a joke, you look nervous." Zhang Nan patted Will Smith on the shoulder.

Will Smith nodded and said to himself: Hollywood giants are all easy to crush in your hands. It would be weird if I wasn't nervous.

……

After a little chat, Zhang Nan got into the specific shooting work.

In order to make the most of Zhang Nan's fame, the role given to Zhang Nan in "The Pursuit of Happiness" has a small role, but its status in the movie is a very crucial role - an interview with Will Smith. role, the executive who enters a financial company.

There are only two scenes in total.

In the first scene, Zhang Nan was sitting in the office. Will Smith, who was late for the interview and was sweating so much that his shirt was soaked with sweat, said to Will Smith: "Why do you think I should be late for an interview? Can someone pass an interview with his shirt in a mess?”

Then after Will Smith said, "Then this guy's pants must be great," he gave a surprised and satisfied smile.

The second scene was still in the office. Zhang Nan made an official announcement to Will Smith after working hard for a long time and said: "This must not be easy."

Then watching Will Smith first suppress his emotions and say "Yes, it's harder than it looks" and then burst into tears.

Both scenes were of relatively simple content, which was not a problem for an experienced actor like Zhang Nan. In less than an hour, Zhang Nan completed the filming.

Jaden Smith, who had been watching next to him, was stunned. He raised his head and looked at his father, Will Smith.

"Daddy, Uncle Zhang has earned 3000 million?"

Will Smith heard the shock in his son's words, but that was the fact, so he could only nodded silently.

When Jaden Smith saw his father nodding, his values ​​were violently impacted.

No wonder daddy wanted him to be an actor. He made money so fast, and he could make money while pretending to be cool. It was so easy.

Will Smith saw that his son had been strongly impacted, and quickly added: "Not all actors make the same money as your Uncle Zhang. Your Uncle Zhang is unique in making money at such a speed. It is difficult for others to reach your level." Uncle Zhang is like this."

But Will Smith's additional explanation obviously had no effect.

Because at this time, Jaden Smith already has some foundation for future weirdness, and now his mind is full of:
If it’s difficult for others, that’s someone else.

I was filming that scene with you a few days ago, where we spent the night in the bathroom. The director praised me for my acting talent. I'm only eight years old. What will happen when I'm eighteen?I guess I can’t stop it even if I pay 3000 million US dollars an hour!

Here, Jaden Smith fell into a state of strong confidence because of the director's praise for him in the previous bathroom scene. Will Smith also recalled this scene in time in his mind, but the feeling was completely different.

The bathroom scene was actually not complicated or difficult to shoot. The down-and-out protagonist he played spent the night with his son on the set in a public bathroom.

During the process, Jaden Smith suddenly said to him: Daddy, you always work so hard, I will be obedient, you are a good father.

Will Smith was stunned at the time.

This isn't a martial arts scene or a chase scene. Your dad and I just held you in my arms and lay down on the floor in the bathroom. Why did you work so hard?
It was also at this time that Will Smith felt that his son seemed to be spoiled by him.

After filming, Zhang Nan saw Will Smith and his son standing together in a daze, and did not disturb their happy filming life.

After all, as Jaden Smith gets older and his acting skills become more and more awkward, it will be difficult for Will Smith to enjoy similar scenes anymore, because with Will Smith's actor-level acting skills, he can't catch his son. played.

3 month 6 day.

The 78th Academy Awards ceremony has begun.

Zhang Nan still did not attend this year's Oscars.

After all, his current status as a celebrity does not lack the exposure of the Oscars. The effect of his participation in the Oscars is not great for him, but it has a lot of bonuses for the Oscars.

Then Spielberg didn't go to participate. After all, he didn't even prepare for [Jurassic World 2], let alone Oscar.

Peter Jackson also learned wisely this year. Although "King Kong" had several nominations, he did not participate in this Oscar.

Not to mention James Cameron. He usually doesn’t go when he has time. Now that he is busy filming [Avatar 1], it is even more impossible to go.

As a result, among the guests at this Oscars ceremony, the number of top commercial film stars from Hollywood has dropped sharply.

Of course, what goes down must come up. This year’s Oscars saw a big improvement in the number of Chinese-speaking filmmakers.

Li An arrived at the Oscars with great momentum with his latest award-winning masterpiece "Brokeback Mountain".

To be honest, Zhang Nan felt that Li An filmed "Brokeback Mountain" a little too early.

After all, gender freedom in Europe and the United States at this time was not yet at its peak.

Otherwise, just relying on the sensitive subject matter of "Brokeback Mountain", a Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Score, how could it win a total of only three Oscars?

Apart from anything else, if "Brokeback Mountain" appears in a few years, judging from the trend here in North America, if the Oscar jury dares not to award "Brokeback Mountain" the Best Picture statuette, it will probably be judged the next day. The anus of the people in the group will be injured.

Of course, if "Brokeback Mountain" is a few years early, then "Memoirs of a Geisha", a neon-style movie starring Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, is more than ten years early.

After all, the European and American boxers more than ten years later have just gone to school and have not yet developed, so their influence is really not good.
