China Entertainment started in 2004

On January 2011, 1, the list of nominees for the Academy Awards was announced.

As the biggest winner at the Golden Globe Awards, "La La Land" was indeed nominated for many awards.

Many people have already guessed this even though the nomination list has not yet been announced.

After all, "La La Land" swept the Golden Globe Awards, and even the Best Actress award was won by young actress Emma Stone.

It's so strong that it's impossible not to be nominated for an Oscar.

After the nomination list was announced, "La La Land" suddenly became the favorite to win the award.

Even though many people speculated that the American Film Academy would probably not allow Wang Shu, a Chinese director, to become the first director in Oscar history to win three consecutive Academy Awards for Best Director, on the surface they all agreed that "La La Land" had the greatest chance of winning.

Because this movie was really popular in the United States and caused quite a stir.

So far, the box office has exceeded 3 million US dollars.

For an art film, even if it doesn't have a box office of $4 million in the local market, it is still an extremely impressive result.

Because, even for a commercial film, if it can achieve a box office revenue of more than 100 million or 200 million US dollars in the domestic market, it is a very outstanding result.

It's like Twilight, that's it.

Of course, the premise is that the cost is not high.

The cost of producing "La La Land" is not high, it can be said to be a low-budget movie. Now it has grossed over 3 million US dollars in North America alone, which has shocked many people.

Therefore, during this period, there have been producers or investors seeking to cooperate with Wang Shu through various means.

Some investors even brought along beautiful actresses, implying that as long as they cooperated, they could sleep with them as they pleased.

As an upright person, how could Wang Shu be convinced by a simple beauty trap?

Let alone other things, he didn't even have time to deal with the hints from Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman and others, let alone this kind of thing.

Of course, he also admitted that the actors brought in by these investors all had curvaceous figures.

Even if her figure wasn't like this, she would still be a famous actress.

The investors wanted to cooperate with Wang Shu because Wang Shu made money by making films and wanted to make money.

The actress can not only get paid for the film, but also take her career to the next level by working with Wang Shu, so why not do it?

The interests are consistent.

So, the actress is also willing to do so.

However, Wang Shu is an upright person and does not engage in such transactions.

Today in Hollywood, not only producers and investors are seeking to cooperate with Wang Shu, but even the eight major film and television companies are seeking to cooperate with him.

For example, Paramount and Warner offered to help him set up a production company in Hollywood and establish a cooperative relationship.

This model is similar to Spielberg's previous collaboration with Paramount and his current collaboration with Disney.

Simply put, it means only participating in investment and not interfering with Wang Shu's production.

After the film is completed, they will distribute it globally.

Of course, if the cost is too high, other companies can be brought in to share the cost.

To be honest, this kind of cooperation model is indeed very sincere. I guess Paramount and Warner want to impress Wang Shu first to prevent him from reaching cooperation with other companies, so they are in such a hurry.

After all, he actually made a successful musical that no one was optimistic about.

There is no doubt about the strength.

With this kind of record, if we don’t rush to reach a cooperation, we would be foolishly missing out on money.

As for Wang Shu, he was actually quite satisfied with the conditions offered by Paramount and Warner.

The United States has been established for two hundred years, and its film distribution and theaters have long been monopolized.

Without a powerful background, if you interfere with these two things, you will have no chance of getting by.

Therefore, Wang Shu himself cannot interfere with these two points, and the only thing left is independent production.

Just like Nolan and other big Hollywood directors set up production companies and produce independently.

Of course, independent production does not mean that the entire film is invested by its own production company, so it is difficult to have good distribution channels.

In order to better distribute the film, profit shares must be distributed.

Nolan's independent film production also brings in investors to share the risk, which also allows the film to be better distributed.

Wang Shu is different. He basically makes money by making movies, so he doesn't need to share risks.

However, in order for the film to be better distributed, a profit share is still required.

Besides, sharing the profits is actually a more profitable option than eating alone.

Trying to monopolize the market may lead to distribution problems and poor box office performance.

As the distribution of profit shares is not hindered, the plate can be made bigger and the profits will therefore be greater.

In this case, the final profit is likely to be higher than if you eat alone.

For example, when Disney releases Marvel movies, it can make sure that even if the Marvel movies shown in many theaters around the world are shit, these theaters will only show this shit.

In this case, even if it's a piece of shit, you can still grind it out to make decent box office revenue.

If the quality of the movie is high, it will be a hit.

Although the conditions offered by Paramount and Warner were good, Wang Shu was still considering it.

Although Paramount is doing well now, it will be acquired by Tianwu Media in 2024.

This company has produced many world-renowned film and television works, including "Star Trek" and "Mission Impossible".

Tianwu Media is actually a company under Red Bird Capital.

As for Warner, it is stronger than Paramount.

It’s just that Warner is either fighting internally or on the way to fighting internally.

Nolan had originally had a good cooperation with Warner, but due to the internal strife at Warner, he finally parted ways with them.

Therefore, Wang Shu was thinking that since he was setting up an independent production company anyway, there was no need to rely on just one company. He could completely cooperate with more major Hollywood companies such as Paramount, Warner, and even Disney.

…………

"Shu, are you going back home?"

Taylor Swift looked up and asked, with Stone sitting next to her.

The three of them were currently having dinner in a private room of a high-end restaurant.

"Yes, our country's Spring Festival is coming soon, and I will go back in a few days." Wang Shu continued.

New Year’s Eve is on February 2nd, and there is less than a week left.

Taylor Swift looked at Stone and said, "I heard that the Spring Festival in your country is very interesting?"

Wang Shu smiled and said, "It is indeed interesting. I will show you how to do it when I have the chance."

Although there are Chinatowns in the United States, the two can go to Chinatown to feel the atmosphere, but it is ultimately different.

Taylor Swift and Stone were very happy to hear this and responded, "Okay, we'll go when we have the chance."

Normally, they wouldn't go.

But when I was with Wang Shu, I was quite interested.

Taylor then looked at Stone and said, "Shu, Emma is also nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress. Do you think she can win?"

Wang Shu helplessly replied: "It depends on what the college thinks. How would I know?"

After a pause, he continued, "But I personally think that Emma is the best performer among the nominated actors. I personally think Emma has the best chance of winning the award."

When Sister Shitou heard this, her emotional value was satisfied and a smile appeared on her face. She helped Wang Shu to continue the conversation, saying, "Yes, Shu is not a member of the academy, so it is not up to him to decide whether he can win the award."

Then he added, "I am very happy to be nominated this time."

“Whether or not you can win an award is not particularly important.”

"Of course, I would be happier if I could win an award." "But if I don't win an award, I can accept it."

Her mentality is relatively relaxed. After all, Stone knows that as a new actress, it is a luxury for her to become an Oscar winner at such a young age.

Not to mention that there are so many talented actresses competing with each other.

However, winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress also made her look forward to winning the Oscar.

Taylor Swift saw that Stone didn't seem to be lying, so she couldn't help but say, "You're quite open-minded."

Stone is different from Taylor Swift. She started out as an extra in Hollywood and worked her way up through the ranks. She knows that awards are not easy to win.

Taylor Swift became famous at a young age and won almost all the awards that could be won in country music at a young age. She then switched to pop music and won various awards again.

"What else?" Stone Sister asked back.

Of course she wants to win an Oscar, but she is also aware of the gap between herself and other actors.

Seeing this, Taylor Swift curled her lips and stopped talking.

Then, he looked at Wang Shu and said, "Shu, you are also very good at composing songs. Do you have any songs that you have composed but have not yet published?"

Wang Shu shook his head and said, "I only wrote some songs because of the filming of La La Land. I don't have any other songs on hand."

“Really?” Taylor Swift looked a little disappointed and pouted.

Wang Shu replied indifferently: "No."

If he wanted, he could certainly come up with some more songs.

But...even if I take it out, it won't be so easy to take it out.

"Okay." Taylor Swift responded disappointedly.

She came with expectations in her heart.

The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

After the three of them finished their meal, they went to Wang Shu’s apartment together.

Taylor Swift hasn't talked about her life ideals with Wang Shu for a while, and she already misses him a little.

After all, Taylor Swift is not an naive girl. She already had a boyfriend before she and Wang Shu started dating.

It is said that without comparison, it is impossible to judge the pros and cons.

Taylor Swift knows very well that Wang Shu is really amazing...

As for Wang Shu, he was actually not in a very good mood.

Because since the musical "La La Land", which was not optimistic before filming, not only became a box office success after its release, but also made him win six Golden Globe nominations and Stone Sister won the Golden Globe Award...

This incident greatly stimulated many Hollywood actresses.

Some actresses who have had interactions with Wang Shu not only flirted with him for no reason, but also took the initiative to come to him.

Even the best body would not be able to bear this kind of pressure.

Wang Shu wanted to recuperate.

how...

Today is another day that is difficult to rest and recuperate.

……

1 month 28 day.

Wang Shu returned to China.

He returned to China in a low-key manner, and returned to his villa in Beijing in a low-key manner.

After returning to the villa, I called Mei Ting.

"Are you back in the capital?" Mei Ting asked.

As the Spring Festival approached, Mei Tingyou called Wang Shu and asked him whether he would return to China. Wang Shu did not hide anything and told him the truth.

"Yeah." Wang Shu responded.

"Are you already in the villa?" Mei Ting asked again.

"Yes." Wang Shu continued.

"Then I'll go to your place." Mei Ting said.

This is not a question, but an affirmation.

"Aren't you busy?" Wang Shu felt pain in his kidneys when he heard this.

"I happen to have nothing to do today." Mei Ting said with a smile.

"Okay, come on." Wang Shu had no choice but to respond.

An hour or two later, Mei Ting appeared in Wang Shu's villa.

……

Through more than an hour of interaction and Wang Shu's anxious look, she has concluded that Wang Shu has been patient for a long time.

The fact that he endured for a long time shows that Wang Shu has no other woman in Hollywood.

In order to make Wang Shu happy, Mei Ting took the initiative to interact with him again.

She knew very well that Wang Shu was very strong, and even though she was tired, Wang Shu would definitely not get tired for more than an hour.

As for Wang Shu, he felt like crying but had no tears when he saw Mei Ting's actions.

We have been chatting with each other for more than an hour, why are you still coming?
Are you not tired?
If I continue, what if I get hurt?
However, Mei Ting saw that Wang Shu had endured for so long, and with the idea of ​​making him happy even if he was hurt, she started again.

Wang Shu couldn't bear it anymore, so he pretended to be considerate of Mei Ting and said, "You want to get hurt, right?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Ting looked at Wang Shu and nodded with her two big eyes shining silver.

Wang Shu felt heartbroken and helpless when he saw this. He then touched her face and said, "You are going to be on the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve. You'd better forget it, otherwise you will get hurt and have to go to the hospital."

He was telling the truth. Mei Ting's status has skyrocketed since she starred in "Pacific Rim".

This year, he was also invited to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.

When Mei Ting heard this, she thought so too and was deeply moved.

Wang Shu clearly couldn't hold it back and clearly wanted it very much, but he would rather endure it and consider her.

very nice.

Mei Ting stretched her head and rubbed it against Wang Shu's arms, saying, "I'll come to your place after the Spring Festival Gala is over. You can do whatever you want~"

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Wang Shu eagerly.

Wang Shu touched her head and said, "Well, but I have to wait until after the New Year. I will go back to my hometown to celebrate the Spring Festival."

"Yeah." Mei Ting responded.

Wang Shu’s parents have not come to Beijing yet, and she guessed that Wang Shu would return to his hometown.

Wang Shu followed up on this topic and asked, "What about you? Are you going back to your hometown?"

Mei Ting shook her head: "I have to perform on the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve, and even if I go back to my hometown, I will have dinner with my family on New Year's Eve and then go back to Beijing to work."

"Since we can't be together on New Year's Eve, there's no need to go back. I can find time to go back and visit my parents after the New Year."

Wang Shu smiled and said, "Then you have to perform well on the Spring Festival Gala. If you don't go back, your family will definitely sit in front of the TV and watch."

"Did you see it?" Mei Ting asked, looking up.

Wang Shuying said: "Of course."

"However, my family eats in the main hall on New Year's Eve, and there is no TV in the main hall."

"After eating the New Year's Eve dinner in the main hall, we went to the bedroom to watch the Spring Festival Gala and chat."

"If you had come earlier, I might have missed it." (End of this chapter)
