China Entertainment Anchor

Chapter 628 Big orange is the most important thing

"This time everyone wants "Wolf Totem" to represent the mainland at the Oscars."

"Is it because it is a co-production?" Zhang Yang asked with a frown.

Last year in China there were Lao Mouzi's "The Return" and "Daytime Fireworks" and "No Man's Land" which won the Golden Bear.

As a result, the Chinese-French co-production "Nightingale" represented China at the Oscars.

There must be many unknown considerations involved.

"Because of this consideration, I've invited you to come over and discuss it!" Director Zhang said with a smile.

"It's a pity that you didn't use any people from Xiangjiang. Otherwise, your film could have used the quota from Xiangjiang to compete." Director Zhang continued.

What Director Zhang said is nothing new. Because some films are co-productions, even if the mainland is not selected, they can still compete for the Olympics as representatives of the Hong Kong region.

Poet Chen's "Farewell My Concubine", Lao Mouzi's "Raise the Red Lantern", and Feng Trousers' "The Banquet" all applied for Oscars as representatives of the Hong Kong region.

Zhang Yang laughed and said nothing. Even though people from Hong Kong were involved and he was starring in this movie, and he was asked to compete for the Olympics as a member of the Hong Kong region, there was no way he could agree.

The speaking director did not speak, but looked at the auditor sitting below him.

Many of us even think that as long as it is an Oscar-winning film, it is almost certain to win. "

As soon as he finished speaking, many others nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yang followed Director Zhang into the conference room. Zhang Yang looked at the people attending the meeting, several deputy directors, and some China Film review personnel.

Not to mention in terms of technology and spirit, "Wolf Totem" three years of raising wolves is full of handicrafts, and director Jean-Jacques Annaud's five years of sharpening a sword fully embodies the spirit of the filmmaker.

Zhang Yang sat down without being polite. Director Zhang then said to several deputy directors: "Zhang Yang is here too. If you have anything to say, tell him."

Moreover, in terms of the expression of faith, the relationship between prairie people and "wolves" is full of philosophical connotations.

When these people heard Zhang Yang's words, they had nothing to refute. It was because Zhang Yang's performance was so outstanding that they had to specially invite Zhang Yang to come over and communicate in advance just in case.

There is only one seat left for Zhang Yang, which is opposite Director Zhang.

Zhang Yang took the initiative and said with a smile: "Seniors, long time no see."

"Zhang Yang, after many considerations this time, we feel that it is appropriate to use "Wolf Totem" as the mainland's Olympic film."

Director Zhang went directly to the main seat and sat down. On the left and right sides next to the main seat were several deputy directors, followed by the seniors in charge of review.

"Director, can you tell me the reason?" Zhang Yang asked slightly curiously.

"Zhang Yang, you can't see us. We can see you on various news from time to time." A deputy director said jokingly.

"Let's go, don't keep them waiting." Director Zhang invited Zhang Yang.

After a while, a staff member came in and said that everyone in the conference room was here.

Universal Western values.

They knew how bad-tempered Zhang Yang was in the past.

A senior reviewer who was familiar with Zhang Yang organized his language and said: "Zhang Yang, look, the movie "Wolf Totem" explores the relationship between man and nature, society, and faith. The relevant units no longer appear in the image of "Gao Daquan" .

Zhang Yang looked at these seniors and couldn't help but smile and said: "Seniors, it seems that the two films I sent to the Oscars both won awards! "Parasite" should be even more outstanding."

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yang felt full of antagonism.

"Moreover, the movie "Wolf Totem" is too subjective and one-sided in its description of the connection between wolf nature and the cultural history of various powerful dynasties in our country!

Not to mention, grassland herdsmen have always hated wolves, and no herdsmen would worship wolves as gods. "Zhang Yang continued his rational analysis.

"Wolf Totem", not to mention the movie, the original novel has caused a lot of controversy, which no one can deny.

"Zhang Yang, this work is still valuable. It helps promote people's personal liberation and independence.

It can also improve people's environmental awareness and ecological concepts, so that more people can increase their understanding of grasslands and grassland culture. "Another senior investigator came to the rescue.

The role of these reviewers who came here today is to fight against Zhang Yang, at least not to let "Wolf Totem" be said to be useless by Zhang Yang.

"Actually, when it comes to normal times, it doesn't matter whether I go or not. After all, I've won all the Oscars I should win.

But the movie "Born in 82" is different. What kind of expectations I have for it, seniors should know. "Zhang Yang said with a smile.

Everyone knows Zhang Yang's expectations for this movie, and it's very obvious when you look at the name of the movie.

This time Zhang Yang didn't just want to give Liu Yifei a Venice Best Actress title, he also wanted to win the Oscar Best Actress award at once.

Zhang Yang saw that these people just smiled and said nothing, so he continued to say meaningfully: "A few days ago, the old director informed our family to participate in the military parade and told me,

After I had a child, I seemed to be more stable. If you have anything to say, please feel free to say it directly. I also know what Daju is the most important thing. "

Zhang Yang wanted them to make their words clear and stop making excuses for him from the perspective of the movie. If there were other reasons, he could see if they could solve them.

This time, everyone present, including Director Zhang, looked at Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang was talking about the whole family going to participate in the military parade, which reminded them of the review of Zhang Yang's documentary.

Seeing this, several deputy directors looked at each other, and the last one said helplessly: "Zhang Yang, this decision is ours, it's the third level."

Zhang Yang looked at Director Zhang, who felt Zhang Yang's gaze and nodded.

The superior level of the Film Bureau is the General Administration, and the superior level of the General Administration...

"This also needs to be in line with the domestic strategy. You can see something from last year's selection for the Olympics!" the deputy director continued.

Okay, Zhang Yang got his way, but he can't give up this time. If he really wants to make trouble again, he doesn't know that Daju is the most important thing. Zhang Yang took a deep breath, and then said helplessly: "Then I will give up applying for the Olympics this year."

Everyone present, including Director Zhang, was relieved to see that Zhang Yang was really willing to give up.

If Zhang Yang really makes a fuss, his influence will be huge around the world, and no one will look good at that time.

Just like Zhang Yang regards this year's domestic Oscar spot as something in his pocket, many netizens also feel that Zhang Yang's willingness to give up can relieve a lot of pressure on them.

"Zhang Yang, you know that Daju is the most important thing." the deputy director praised.

Zhang Yang smiled reluctantly, but couldn't help but said: "If the finalists of "Wolf Totem" are not reached..."

"No, director Jacques Annaud is also an old acquaintance of Oscar. He may be a little worse than you, Zhang Yang, but he is not bad at all compared to others." A senior reviewer said with certainty.

Another person said more bluntly: "It really happened..."

Zhang Yang shook his head helplessly, and soon the group broke up. Zhang Yang was ready to leave directly with disappointment.

"Go and sit at my place again." Director Zhang suddenly said to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang nodded when he heard Director Zhang's words and followed him back to the office.

"Are you disappointed?" Director Zhang asked with a smile after sitting down and looking at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang also sat down opposite Director Zhang, but complained to Director Zhang jokingly: "This is what you call negotiation!"

"I specially asked you to come here for discussion, isn't it? You will have many opportunities in the future." Director Zhang comforted Zhang Yang.

"I promised Alberto that I would go to the Oscars for both movies, but now I have broken my promise," Zhang Yang said.

"I believe in your ability. This is a small thing for you."

"It's not that easy to find literary and artistic films suitable for Yifei." Zhang Yang continued to complain.

"You will be successful if you get them to tell the true nature of this matter this time." Director Zhang finished another sentence.

Zhang Yang knew what Director Zhang meant. Zhang Yang had regressed in this matter. He would have to make up for it in some way in the future, right?

Zhang Yang briefly chatted with him and then went back. In the car, Zhang Yang sat in the back seat with his eyes closed. At this moment, he felt the importance of following the trend as Rebus said.

"Go back and talk to the people at the studio. The preparations for the film "Born in 82" and the Olympics can be stopped." Zhang Yang said to his assistant indifferently.

The assistant nodded calmly when he heard this, as if he wasn't surprised at all. In fact, his hands holding the steering wheel tightened.

He was extremely curious now. What was the boss talking about in the film bureau to give up next year's Oscar? But he won't ask.

After Zhang Yang returned home, he asked his assistant to go to the studio immediately to handle things. He didn't want to go back to Shunyi immediately today and wanted to calm down his mood.

Back here, Zhang Yang walked back to the hall and sat down. After being stunned for a while, he walked to the singing room. He wanted to talk to Liu Yifei about this matter.

When Zhang Yang opened the door to the singing room, Liu Yifei was still practicing "I Just Met You". When she saw Zhang Yang walking in, she took the microphone and said to Zhang Yang: "How are things going?"

Zhang Yang also found a microphone, turned on the switch and said, "There is one last bit of ending that I want to explain."

The sound of two people talking into a microphone echoed in the room.

Liu Yifei thought it was quite interesting and continued to hold the microphone and asked: "What's the ending?"

"The movie "Born in 82" will not participate in the Oscars." Zhang Yang's words rang through the microphone again.

As soon as Liu Yifei heard Zhang Yang's words, she thought Zhang Yang was joking, so she put down the microphone and smiled with Zhang Yang and said, "Are you kidding me?"

"Really." Zhang Yang also put down the phone and said seriously to her.

Only the accompaniment of "I Just Met You" was playing in the whole room.

The two looked at each other in the room for a while, and then sat down on the sofa in the room together.

"It's okay if you don't go. You can prepare for the Spring Festival Gala next year with peace of mind." Liu Yifei suddenly said.

"And being jet-lagged twice in a short period of time is also very tiring."

"Don't you want to listen to what's going on?" Zhang Yang asked after listening to Liu Yifei's continuous words.

"It must be a big deal that can't be changed, so don't talk about it."

Liu Yifei said not to talk, but Zhang Yang still told her the matter.

Liu Yifei felt that Zhang Yang wanted to talk to someone, so she suggested to Zhang Yang: "Let's sing!"

"Okay, let's sing "Sparrow" first." Zhang Yang said and went to tune the song.

I'm flying among the dark clouds

You look at me indifferently

How many times have the waves surged?

in my heart

The song "Sparrow" was sung by Zhang Yang in a heart-wrenching manner, and then he sang a few random songs before Zhang Yang ended today's voice training.

In the afternoon, rumors spread, which aroused everyone's attention and curiosity.

It is said that Zhang Yang's movie "Liu Yifei Born in 82" has given up applying for this year's Oscars.

This incident was rumored, and at first no one believed it.

Everyone thought that this year's film was definitely going to compete in the Olympics, but suddenly it announced that it had given up participating. What happened?
