Coquettish Rebirth

Jia Hongjian only gave advice in principle on the matter of arguing with Nan Zhou and attracting ratings, and followed the progress of the incident, and did not do anything with the in-depth leadership team as before.After having Sun Yusheng, the news commentary department already has a head, and they should gradually adapt to the rhythm of finding work by themselves. They can't rely on Jia Hongjian to guide them what to do and what to do. How to do it?

When he was pointing out what China Satellite TV should do, Jia Hongjian's main attention was not on this aspect, but on the upcoming Oscar nominations!That's right, seeing that the beginning of February is coming soon, the Oscar nominations are about to be announced!Although Jia Hongjian knew for a long time that the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" he invested in would definitely enter the list, he still couldn't help but want to care about it!

At the end of this month and the beginning of February, the overall box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was quite good. The overall box office has reached nearly 8000 million US dollars. It can be said that it is basically one of the most popular literary films this year!At this time, the number of theaters showing shows has increased to 2000. Although the total box office is declining, the decline in box office is not slow because of the increase in the number of theaters.And Jia Hongjian also understood very clearly that the theater chains are still slowly increasing the number of theaters after dragging it on. In fact, the meaning is very obvious, that is, to see if "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can be nominated for an Oscar. If they can get it, they cooperate with DreamWorks to promote it a little bit, won't this attract many viewers who haven't seen it yet?After all, this is a business, and if you can take advantage of the situation to make more money, you have to make more money.Who has a grudge against money!

As for "Drug Network", which was originally in a ring with Jia Hongjian and the others, the box office is also rising all the way, and it will soon reach 7000 million US dollars. It can be said that it is closely following the pace of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".Even now, most theaters in the United States are filming and showing these two films during prime time, and everyone can feel that these two films are the two most attractive films this winter. !

This year's Oscar nominations for various awards were finally announced within the first few days after entering February.As soon as the results were announced, Jia Hongjian realized that this year's Oscars was really a "big year".Because not only "Gladiator" starring Russell Crowe was nominated, but this movie was nominated for a total of 2 nominations!Then what.Jia Hongjian's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has of course been nominated for many awards - 12 in total.After "Gladiator", it was considered one of the big hits of the year.

Apart from these two movies, Jia Hongjian also has impressions of other movies, such as "Never Take Off Your Shoes" by Julia Roberts.It's "Never Compromise".This film was shot and released by Soderbergh in 2000.Then, the director also filmed another "Drug Network", which was also nominated for an Oscar!So in general, the two films that Soderbergh made in one year have both entered the Oscars. Is this awesome?

Then there are more films that Jia Hongjian is familiar with.For example, "The Rest of a Deserted Island" starring Tom Hanks and released in May 2000 is a film that personifies "Wilson" with a volleyball, and then there is Mel Gibson He starred in the film "The Patriot", which tells the story of the American Revolutionary War, and war films such as "The Hunt for U-5", and finally, there are funny films such as "The Grinch" and "Meet Your Father-in-Law". Son, and one of the "Time Trilogy" such as "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily".The so-called "Time Trilogy" refers to the three works of "Paradise Cinema", "The Pianist on the Sea" and "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily".

Is this movie enough?It’s just the ones that Jia Hongjian had seen in his previous life and had an impression!Those other unimpressive films are actually not weak, such as the remake of "Water to Chocolate", which once triggered a craze in Latin America and also triggered a record of foreign language film viewing in the United States, and George "Brother, Where Are You" starring Clooney is a story about a threesome who escaped from prison, and a film like "Wonder Boy" about a middle-aged middle-aged crisis in literature, and even "Life Dancing" Literary films.So for this year's Oscars, it really depends on business and business, and it depends on literature and art!

To be honest, although Jia Hongjian and his "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Props and Sets, Best Costume Design, There are ten nominations for Best Film Editing, Best Original Song, Best Original Soundtrack and Best Foreign Language Film, but to be honest, apart from Jia Hongjian’s confidence in Best Foreign Language Film, there is not much sincerity confidence!Because there are all kinds of strong players around him!For example, with "Gladiator", Jia Hongjian may not be able to win the best picture with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and his chance of being able to receive the award is one less!

Although Jia Hongjian remembered that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, he really didn't remember whether he won other awards.He was already quite satisfied to get one, but seeing that he got ten nominations at once this time, wouldn't this make him a little more ambitious and caring?

And besides, this time not only "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" entered the selection, but even Nolan's "Memento" may be due to a series of influences caused by different publishers and different release periods in history. , This film also appeared in the Oscars! "Memento" also won three nominations at once - Best Editing, Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay!As for the best editing, the candidate was not Christopher Nolan, but a freelance editor they hired themselves, named Dodie Dawn.As for the best original screenplay, although it is also called Nolan, it is not Christopher Nolan, but Jonathan Nolan, Chris' younger brother.As for the best adapted screenplay, it goes without saying that it is Christopher Nolan.

This "Memento" can only get so few nominations. To be honest, it's a pity for Jia Hongjian, because this film is frankly, after all, an investment of 500 million U.S. dollars, and there are no special effects. Not bad, but after all, it's not at the actor level, so it can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, not particularly brilliant, so there are no nominations such as best actor and actress.If the investment was bigger and the production was better, why would Jia Hongjian get two or three more nominations for this film?

But having said that, if you think about it from another angle, among the nominated films, how many have a production budget of only 500 million US dollars?That's it!No matter how literary films are, such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the investment is almost 2000 million US dollars, and this is still relatively small among the nominated films! "Drug Network" is more than double the investment of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!So in such a comparison, a film that can be nominated was made with a cost of only 500 million US dollars. This really recognizes Nolan's strength!And don't forget, this film is only Nolan's second film after entering the industry, and the first film is an independent production, without a distributor, so it can only be screened as an independent film in various film festivals on a small scale!From this perspective, this really proves Nolan's level is awesome!And don't forget, his current age is only 30, just equivalent to Ang Lee 16 years ago!Ang Lee, who seems to be doing well now, did not have a job 16 years ago. He was still squatting at home writing scripts and watching movies all day, and he was supported by his wife for a soft meal!

Seeing that two of his films have entered the Oscars, Jia Hongjian really felt a sense of accomplishment!Although this sense of accomplishment may not be as good as Soderbergh’s kind of two films a year, and both films entered the Oscars, although "Memento" was not invested by Jia Hongjian, and even he did not participate in it at all. The production is just an agent distribution, but this can also make him happy!After all, this film still has to hang the DreamWorks logo as the beginning!After all, Jia Hongjian's name was written on the producer column!

That's right!Because "Memory Fragments" is considered to be the film that Jia Hongjian decided to release as an agent, so the producer or producer of this film is Jia Hongjian's "leading"!And "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was invested by him, Jia Hongjian, and he published it on his behalf, so the names of the producers are also the names of Jia Hongjian and Lao Xu!Who can be unhappy to see two films with their own names at the beginning, and then both entered the Oscars?Who can not feel a sense of accomplishment?Even thinking about the future, if a film like "Tang Monk's Fantasy Journey" that Nolan is in post-production enters the Oscars in the future, won't all the three films with his Jia Hongjian name enter the Oscars?Just thinking about it, I feel that our Jia Hongjian is very capable, like a talented filmmaker, isn't it?

"Hung-chien, you are awesome!" Ye Jing kept Jia Hong-jian on the side, and kissed her fiercely. Looking at her, she was really happier than Jia Hong-jian herself, and even happier than the movie she was famous for. It's fun to be in Hollywood!As for Jia Hongjian's parents, needless to say, after hearing that their son is so discerning and awesome, how can parents be unhappy?These two old people are now happy from ear to ear all day long!

Seeing that everyone around him was so happy, Jia Hongjian got excited and felt that he should call Li An and Nolan.Although the quarrel with Li An was a bit unpleasant, but Jia Hongjian did everything according to the standard. Since Li An voted honestly, there is no need for him to make it seem like he is at odds with Li An. It's all about cooperation, manly man, can you be more open-minded.How can we say that we are all boss-level big shots, and we have always held grudges with the directors who work below us, but it seems that we are small-minded!
