China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 632 Can’t the two of them be together?

January 2010 passed and February arrived.

In January, the American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held.

"Avatar" directed by Cameron won the Best Feature Film Award, and "Life of Pi" directed by Wang Shu won the Best Director Award.

Last year Wang Shu won a Golden Globe Award and won it again this year.

However, for him now, the Golden Globe Award is not what he is pursuing, but the Oscar and the three major European awards are.

In the original timeline, during the commercial break before the announcement of the key Golden Globe awards, the Foreign Correspondents Association, consisting of more than 90 people, risked the world's disapproval and threw both the Best Picture and Best Director awards at "Avatar."

In the words of Oscars host Steve Martin: "What's to stop that bastard from making a movie that everybody loves?"

No one is blind to the fact that "Avatar" has been the box office champion for five consecutive weeks and has exceeded 53 billion global box office in 16 days.

If the inexplicably awesome movie "The Hurt Locker" which was seriously delayed won in the early stages due to the reputation of film critics, then "Avatar", which also earned a lot of reputation, has one more thing than it - that is box office.

Undoubtedly, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was a nightmare for Bigelow. Even if Cameron ran to comfort Bigelow hypocritically like he kissed Linda Hamilton that year, it could not make up for her pain.

Because before that, "The Hurt Locker" swept all the awards at the Broadcast Film Association Awards, which looked like a copy of the Golden Globe Awards.

Now, it’s different.

In addition to "Avatar", the Golden Globe Awards also include "Life of Pi" directed by Wang Shu.

Best Picture and Best Director are not awarded to the same film.

Relatively speaking, not only should Bigelow not be as hostile to her ex-husband Cameron as she was originally, but the media will also have fewer sarcastic news reports.

Because in the original timeline, there was no Cameron's "Avatar", so Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker" had the greatest chance of winning the award.

Nowadays, even if there is no "Avatar", there is "Life of Pi".

For Wang Shu, the Best Director Award is the award that belongs to him, compared to the Best Picture Award.

Because he is not a producer, in a producer-centric place like Hollywood, even if he won the Best Picture award.

This award is also in the hands of the producer.

The Best Director Award, however, is a real honor for him.

However, if Wang Shu becomes both a producer and a director in the future, he will have ideas about the Best Picture award.

At the moment, there is no need for corresponding operations.

"Shu, I didn't pass the audition."

Sister Shitou called Wang Shu and spoke in a somewhat lonely tone.

The auditions currently organized by Paramount are just preliminary tests, and through this level of screening, some suitable actors will be selected.

Afterwards, roles will be chosen from the actors who have passed the preliminary audition.

As the director, Wang Shu will personally go to the scene to select the actors.

Although he cannot directly decide the role, his opinion is equally important.

"Paramount thinks you are not suitable?" Wang Shu asked knowingly.

Paramount is preparing the movie "Interstellar", but it is not like Marvel making a superhero movie.

When Marvel makes superhero movies, it likes to look for actors who have passed their prime or are only slightly famous.

In this way, only relatively low actor salaries are needed to put together a decent cast.

Paramount did not prepare "Interstellar" in this way, but instead put together a strong cast.

Small-time actresses like Stone were not considered.

Even for a supporting female role, the role should correspond to that of a little girl.

Not to mention that the little girl looks exactly like the supporting actress Murphy, but they need to be similar.

Stone is young and quite sweet now, and the screen image she has created in the marginal film and television works she has starred in since her debut does not quite meet the requirements of the supporting actress in "Interstellar".

It’s normal to fail the initial test.

And since she couldn't get this role, it was naturally impossible for her to get the role of the female lead.

"Yes." Stone sighed.

Then he added, "Shu, anyway, thank you for recommending me to Paramount."

In fact, Stone knew that a big company like Paramount not only looked down on a small actor like her, but also did not trust her acting skills, which was why she failed the initial audition.

She was helpless about this.

Wang Shu replied: "I didn't help you at all, no need to be so polite."

Stone replied seriously: "Shu, if it weren't for your recommendation, I wouldn't even have the chance to audition."

"So even if you don't pass the audition, you should still thank me."

When she went for the audition, she met many big-name actors.

Wang Shu is well-known, and the project is a collaboration with Paramount, and this science fiction film project was left behind by Spielberg at Paramount.

Spielberg + Wang Shu + Paramount, the gimmick of such film projects immediately made many Hollywood actors interested in it.

That's why Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio and others called Wang Shu.

For the actor, this film project is too attractive.

After Stone went there, she realized that if it weren't for Wang Shu's recommendation, she wouldn't even have the chance to audition.

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Shu to respond, he immediately added, "Are you busy? Let's have dinner together. It's my treat."

Wang Shu heard this and replied, "I'm afraid not. I have something to take care of."

After hearing this, Sister Shitou did not ask any further questions and responded, "Then you go ahead and get busy. We can have dinner together when you have time. I'll wait for your call."

"Okay." Wang Shu.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Shu drove out and then entered a high-end Western restaurant.

"Shu." Christine greeted Wang Shu with a smile on her face when she saw him coming.

"Christine." Wang Shu responded with a smile.

This person called him before Stone and had already made an appointment.

It’s not that Wang Shu wanted to reject Sister Shi Tou, but he couldn’t spare the time.

The two sat down and chatted while eating steak.

After chatting for a while, Christine asked curiously, "How did the audition go?"

"What? You have an idea too?" Wang Shu teased with a smile.

Kristen pouted and admitted openly, "Of course."

Then he added, "Now all actors in the United States know that this science fiction film project was left by Spielberg at Paramount, and now you have personally changed the script."

"Do you think we actors would have any ideas?"

Wang Shu laughed and asked, "Aren't you going to shoot Twilight?"

"Oh!" Kristen sighed, "It's because I was filming Twilight that I didn't go for the audition."

Kristen Stewart is different from Stone. She has become one of the most popular actresses in the United States because of "Twilight".

So, even without Wang Shu's recommendation, she was able to get an audition opportunity for "Interstellar".

It’s just that Paramount wants to find actors who have acting skills, are famous, and fit the characters in the script.

In terms of acting alone, Kristen is not up to standard.

Therefore, even if she went for an audition, she would most likely return empty-handed.

Of course Wang Shu would not say these, but followed her words and said: "'Twilight' is also a very good movie, and it's not bad to make this." Kristen smiled when she heard that. In fact, she knew very well that a youth love fantasy movie like "Twilight" had no content at all, and would not win any awards except for the box office.

But she is the heroine, and she feels good when she hears people praising her.

When talking about "Twilight", Kristen seemed to have forgotten the question she had asked about the audition for "Interstellar" and kept chatting with Wang Shu about things related to "Twilight".

After the Western meal, Christine followed Wang Shu back to the apartment.

The two of them talked about their ideals in life.

In fact, not all American women are open-minded. A large number of them are relatively conservative.

I just want to say that the entertainment industry is a flashy place.

Most Hollywood actors, or people working in related fields, are quite extravagant.

This has led to Hollywood screenwriters having rich "experience", or what they have seen and heard, or their psychology has also changed due to being in this environment.

Then, in the film and television works presented, Americans have all kinds of promiscuous relationships between men and women.

All kinds of mess.

This is not the case.

Among ordinary Americans, a large proportion of women are relatively conservative.

The next day.

When Wang Shu and Shi Tou Jie were having dinner together, they couldn't help but talk about their ideals in life.

Emma Stone is only 22 years old this year, and she is sweet and beautiful.

It was also because of this that she was selected to play the female lead Gwen in "The Amazing Spider-Man" after the audition.

However, after another six or seven years, her appearance dropped sharply.

The same goes for Kristen. She is only 20 years old this year. In another seven or eight years, her appearance will plummet.

Both of them are beauties now, but of different types.

Stone's face gives people a chubby feeling, which exudes both youthful cuteness and youthful beauty.

Kristen has a slender frame and a cool and beautiful look.

"Shu, Taylor has been recording songs every day these days, and the single you wrote the lyrics and composed should be finished soon."

Sister Shitou was lying in Wang Shu's arms, talking.

She has a boyfriend at this stage, and Wang Shu knows that she has a boyfriend. She also knows that Wang Shu knows that she has a boyfriend, so she has never mentioned the idea of ​​having a relationship with Wang Shu.

The same is true for Christine, who also has a boyfriend and has never mentioned that she and Wang Shu have a relationship.

Taylor Swift just broke up with her ex-boyfriend, but no, she is currently single.

"Are you in such a hurry?" Wang Shu was a little surprised.

"She really likes this song, so she was eager to record it," Stone explained.

After that, he asked with a bit of jealousy, "Taylor Swift is not here now, tell me, did you prepare this specially for her?"

Of course, Wang Shu would not admit this.

Not to mention, it wasn't meant for Taylor Swift in the first place.

He created the song without planning to sing it himself, just waiting to sell it to someone with a destiny.

No matter who it is, as long as he likes them, it's fine.

It just so happens that this destined person happens to be Taylor Swift.

"No." Wang Shu replied decisively.

Then he explained, "That song was already created when I met Taylor. How could it be specially prepared for her?"

"Really?" Sister Stone still had doubts.

"Of course!" Wang Shu responded affirmatively, and then asked, "Why would I lie to you? If it was specially prepared for her, I would have admitted it that day. Why would I deny it?"

Seeing Wang Shu's serious explanation, Sister Shitou's inner judgment wavered a little.

But I still don’t believe it.

She pouted and snorted, "Who knows what you think?"

Wang Shu seemed a little helpless when he heard this.

Although Stone entered Hollywood at the age of fifteen or sixteen and has a low level of education, she is actually quite smart.

For example, if the director of "La La Land" invites her to work with him again, and she won the Oscar for Best Actress for "La La Land", most people would agree if the director invites her to work with him again.

Moreover, she is working again with Ryan Gosling, the leading actor of "La La Land".

After reading the script, Stone declined.

It turns out that she does have a good eye.

Damien Chazelle, the director of "La La Land", then brought in the film "First Man" directed by Ryan Gosling, which flopped after its release.

Not only did it flop at the box office, it also wasn't enough to be nominated for any awards.

On the contrary, she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in another supporting drama, "The Favourite".

As the saying goes, being too clever is often a mistake.

It was because Stone firmly believed in her own judgment that she did not believe what Wang Shen said.

Seeing Wang Shu didn't say anything, he rolled his eyes and asked, "How do you feel about Taylor Swift?"

"What's going on?" Wang Shu asked knowingly.

"What do you think?" Sister Stone pouted and snorted teasingly.

"What?" Wang Shu continued to play dumb.

"Humph!" Sister Shitou saw that Wang Shu was playing dumb, snorted and said, "Do you like me or Taylor Swift?"

Wang Shu saw that Shitou was speaking so freely, so he turned around and teased, "Can't the two of them be together?"

When Sister Shitou heard this, she immediately rolled her eyes at Wang Shu and snorted, "You wish."

"Haha." Wang Shu held Sister Shitou in front of him and kissed her, then said with a smile, "I like following you."

If Taylor Swift asked this question, his answer would be completely opposite.

When Sister Shi Tou heard this, a smile appeared on her face, regardless of whether what Wang Shu said was true or false.

then
The casting for "Interstellar" will not be completed in a short time.

Paramount is still conducting auditions at this stage, and will enter the next stage of final selection when the selection is almost complete.

The more Paramount does this, the more extraordinary the movie "Interstellar" will be in the eyes of Hollywood actors.

This kind of casting reflects from the side that "Interstellar" is not only a big production, but the producers are also trying their best to make the movie well.

Therefore, Hollywood actors are even more interested in this movie.

Wang Shu took advantage of this gap to return to China.

The Spring Festival is approaching, so I return home to celebrate the New Year.

He returned to China on February 2 and stayed in Beijing for two days.

On February 2, I set off for my hometown.

New Year’s Eve is on February 2th, and the Spring Festival is on February 13th.

他打算2月13、2月14在老家待两天，2月15启程回京，2月17再返回洛杉矶。
