Coquettish Rebirth

There are quite a few members that DreamWorks chose to watch the film this time.First of all, the first part of Spielberg's "Harry Potter" was released during the summer vacation. Although Jia Hongjian didn't pay attention to this matter, it was released after all, so this film also has to compete for Oscars. For some competition options, Spielberg himself has to watch films everywhere.In addition to Lao Si, there are also photographers, art directors, editors, etc. that Lao Si often cooperates with. These people are also members of the academy. At the same time, Oscar’s old "friend" Uncle Tom Hanks is also a member , this group of people will be arranged by Katzenberg to form a group to watch movies one by one, and then vote.

For Katzenberg, DreamWorks is his enterprise, but it is also a prop for him to "revenge" and prove himself.He felt that he was "humiliated" by Disney back then, so now he wants DreamWorks to win more and more awards, and he wants to overwhelm Disney!For example, this year, Katzenberg even asked Pixar to produce a short animated film, just to compete for the best animated short film!

Jia Hongjian had no intention of stopping Katzenberg's ambition.After all, Katzenberg is an old Jianghu, and he used to be the second-ranked owner of Disney, so he doesn't know the Jianghu market?Still don't know what to do to avoid taboos?So Jia Hongjian was very relieved!But speaking of it, Jia Hongjian suddenly became interested in this membership. Although it seems troublesome to vote every year, the problem is that we can vote for Hollywood movies every year!Looking back, the best movie of the year may come out because of our votes. This kind of power is quite interesting when you think about it, doesn’t it?

Besides, it seems that the society did not require members to vote every year.Depends on personal time.If you want to vote, you must watch all the candidate films that need to be voted within the specified time before you have the right to vote.In this case, Jia Hongjian might not come to vote every year.After what, I feel so tired and come here to vote and take a vacation, how good it is to catch up!Even after retiring in 2012, I come to watch the film every year to vote, so it’s good to participate in the Oscars as an outsider?

"Hey, buddy, let me ask, how can I become a member of your college in the United States?" Jia Hongjian made a special phone call and asked Katzenberg. "Member, do you want to become a member?" Katzenberg didn't answer directly.Instead, ask first. "That's right. It's awesome to be fast." Jia Hongjian smiled. "Well, in your case... as long as one of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" or "Tang Seng's Fantasy Journey" wins any award for best film or best foreign language film, you can get Yes. Anyway, you must be the producer of these two films, and these two films will also accept the awards on behalf of the producers. If you don’t win awards, but only get nominated, you will get invited if almost two films are nominated ’” Katzenberg explained.

"Two were nominated...and...one won? And I must accept the award?" Jia Hongjian suddenly thought of something. "Well. Yes. If it's an award for editing or something, then they will be invited to join, but that's not necessarily the case. But generally speaking, it's such a rule..." Katzenberg said.When Jia Hongjian heard it, he immediately realized something——Dear, isn't "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" the best foreign language film that won the 2001 Oscar in history?And this award for the entire film, that is, he, the producer, will accept the award as a representative at that time!In other words, if "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can win an award in this time and space, then Jia Hongjian can become a member?This is simply double happiness, isn't it?

So all of a sudden, Jia Hongjian began to arrange to send Ang Lee to watch other foreign language films. In fact, the release date has passed, so he can still watch it on a small scale in the film academy.It took 15 days of hard work, and finally finished watching it in early December.After reading it, we have to wait to vote. The real voting will start on January 12st, because the deadline for registration is December 1st, although it is basically impossible within a month What foreign films will be released, but who can be sure?After all, in the short week from Christmas to January 1st, there are very few movies released!So Li An and the others have to get ready to vote, and they have to wait in case there is a newcomer.

"Okay, now we just have to wait. On January 1st, we will start voting, and then release it on a large scale, and directly hit the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!" Jia Hongjian accompanied Ang Lee from the last theater. After coming out, he said so relieved.These days, Jia Hongjian accompanied Ang Lee to watch 1 films, one after another. I have to say that watching many films really made him want to sleep!And falling asleep in a movie theater is uncomfortable, isn't it?It seems that this judge is really not good at being a judge!

In the end, who knew that at this time, Li An suddenly heard this: "Mr. Jia, I think the "Parting Ways" we watched a week ago was good... What do you think?" "A week ago?" Jia Hong Gradually stunned for a moment, he watched 15 movies in 30 days, and they were all foreign language movies. At this time, his head was in a mess. How could he remember the name or not? "About what?" he asked. "It's a Czech movie. It tells about a couple living in a small town at the end of World War II. They have been married for many years and have no children. The current situation is turbulent and life is very hard. A friend has been helping them, but that My friend is the dog leg of the German Nazi, and that man has thoughts about the wife of the couple, so he often brings some food and drink to help the woman, just to win the woman's favor. Later, a neighbor, a Jew who was originally arrested in a concentration camp, After his family members were put to death in the gas chamber, he desperately dug a tunnel and escaped.

As a result, this person had no way out, so he came to beg the couple to take him in.The couple also took him in, and then worked hard to make a living.As a result, the Nazi's dog leg became more and more excessive, and even actively asked to have a relationship with the mistress of the house.The hostess didn't want to, but she knew she couldn't offend this bastard, so she said she was pregnant.But many people in the town knew the news that their couple had been infertile for many years, so that dog leg didn't believe it at all.He even said that he would take the hostess of that family to check it later, but in the end, the male owner of this family had no choice but to ask the Jewish neighbor they took in to help borrow seeds to impregnate the hostess..."

As soon as he heard this, Jia Hongjian remembered! "Oh, you said this film. Not bad, it's quite realistic. It's also quite helpless." He nodded and said.Indeed, this kind of life in the "enemy-occupied area", where is there any happiness and smooth sailing?When ordinary people encounter war, they cannot escape.It's not that you can only live this helpless life. "But why did you remember to talk about this movie?" Jia Hongjian asked curiously.

"The reason...the reason is that I think this film is better than our "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". So I'm going to vote for them..." Li An looked up at the sky.Then he shrugged his shoulders and said with compassion.I made a big move?What did this guy just say?He said he didn't want to vote for himself, but for others?Is there something wrong with your sister's brain?You said that if we don't participate in this Oscar.Then other friends asked us to vote for him. If we find out that his movie is really not as good as others, then we secretly change the vote.When your sister is competing with others, do you vote for others but not yourself?Isn't this a brain pit or what?In case something goes wrong in the end because of his vote, it's fine if he doesn't get the first Chinese Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film Director. Don't hurt Jia Hongjian's box office. Then it made Jia Hongjian lose his membership in the academy!

"Director Li, you can think clearly, we are competitors with them now, so it's not good to act like an enemy?" Jia Hongjian said half-jokingly with a smile.Although he had a smile on his face at this moment, his heart was already a little "murderous".One must know that Jia Hongjian felt that Li An was not a good person before. As a boss, he invested so much money and went up to ask for some opinions. Li An didn't give any face or listen to a word , this made Jia Hongjian very upset, and made Jia Hongjian say that it is best not to cooperate in the future.It turned out to be good now, Li An didn't know whether it was pure or ulterior motives, but he wanted to spoil Jia Hongjian's good deeds!It made him unable to make money, and also destroyed his vanity of wanting to vote for Oscar movies, which made Jia Hongjian happy?

Although Jia Hongjian is quite generous sometimes, as if he doesn't care about anything, as if it doesn't matter if he loses 10,000+ US dollars a year for Chinese movies, but he also has a bad temper, especially when others are inexplicable. When it affects his interests!However, Li An didn't seem to understand Jia Hongjian's hidden meaning, or he pretended not to understand.Anyway, at this time, he just smiled and said: "But I really think his movies are better than ours, Mr. Jia, is it okay for me to vote for him?" Come down, it seems to be serious.

"No problem..." Who knows Jia Hongjian replied at this time, but his face was cold at this time, "But you voted for them, you don't want to get a penny of investment from me in this life, Even you don’t want to have any cooperation with my funds and any related companies in the Huaxia Department in the future, understand? Or in other words, you make me uncomfortable in this movie, and I will make you uncomfortable in all movies in your life Don't forget, the deadline for registration is not yet, I can ask the mainland to withdraw the registration at any time. If this film is not registered in the name of the mainland, you will definitely not be able to register in the name of Daiwan... Then you will It will be difficult to go on the movie road for a lifetime, I can assure you of this..."

After finishing speaking, Jia Hongjian gave Li An a cold look, turned his head and left.Yes, maybe Ang Lee is a pure literary person, maybe he has high morals, maybe he can rule out self-interest and vote for movies that he thinks are better.But he shouldn't interfere with Jia Hongjian's interests!If he was just sacrificing his own interests to satisfy his moral sense, that would be fine, and Jia Hongjian would not blame him.But when Jia Hongjian didn't agree at all, he was going to drag Jia Hongjian into the water, inexplicably evaporated the money and reputation that Jia Hongjian deserved, and exchanged for Li An's little sense of moral honor. What is selfishness?Did he ask Jia Hongjian for his consent?Since he is so selfish, don't blame Jia Hongjian for being rude! (To be continued..)
