Chinese Entertainment: Academic Director

Chapter 119 Starts Release
Johnny Depp has been a little anxious recently. He has read the original script of "Milk", but Sean Penn's revelations must have put the crew in an awkward position.

The Milk in the original script and the Milk revealed by Sean Penn do not seem to be the same person. One is upright and the other is despicable. How can this be filmed?
Especially after Tim Robbins also broke the news, Johnny Depp once felt that this movie would definitely not be able to be made.

However, contrary to his expectations, the crew also revealed a lot of information that was unfavorable to Milk. When they corroborated each other, the matter seemed more real.

That shouldn't be the case. Is there an internal conflict within the crew?

Before Johnny Depp could figure it out, he got the new script.

Compared with the original script, the new script has absolutely no similarities in terms of the plot or the core of the film, except that the male protagonist is still Milk.

The main theme of the new script has become a satire on politicians who can change their political views at any time in order to achieve their own goals, and even if they are extremely disgusted in their hearts, it will not affect their changes at all.

Milk was a person who hated and despised homosexuals from the beginning to the end, but in order to win the election and win votes, he pretended to be the most hated homosexual and advocated for the things he had previously wanted to suppress.

These are dirty politicians.

The whole film mercilessly satirizes conservatives. Even Milk, a "radical", is still a conservative at heart.

To play this character well requires a lot of tension.

This was Johnny Depp's first thought.

If he plays this character well, he will definitely be nominated for the Best Actor Oscar.

This is Johnny Depp's next thought.

As long as this movie is well made, it really has a chance to win an award!
Johnny Depp was excited. As an artistic person, who wouldn't want to win an award to prove his acting skills? His biggest regret is that he has never won a significant award.

Be sure to take good photos.

Then, Johnny Depp thought that Cao Yang was a man who had produced three Best Actresses in three films and was famous for his ability to train actors. Should he ask him for advice in advance?
So Johnny Depp called Cao Yang without hesitation and told him what he should do if he wanted to play the character well.

Cao Yang thought about it and told Depp, "Come over every afternoon and I'll take time to explain the play to you. As long as you follow my instructions, it won't be difficult to perform the character well."

It was still the same routine. Cao Yang took time out every day to talk to Depp about the play, the core of the film, what the film mainly wanted to express, and what effect he wanted. He then let him read the script himself and write a biography of the character.

The movie was progressing in an orderly manner, but it was very lively outside.

Fox News, a media outlet that originally leans toward the conservative party, initially wanted to "take down" a left-wing flag to see the joke and watch the fun.

Unexpectedly, with the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, the spearhead turned towards the commander-in-chief and became increasingly intense.

Cao Yang didn't care about the turmoil caused by him. The film had been basically prepared and was about to start shooting.

At the same time, "Secret Sunshine" began to be released on a large scale in the country.

Cao Yang's filming will start in a few days, so he definitely won't be able to go back, so he recorded a video in advance and played it at the premiere.

What caused heated discussion among the public was that although Cao Yang did not come, the three international film queens he had won all appeared at the premiere, attracting the media to scramble to take pictures.

Many people are interested in the movie that brought out the first Cannes Best Actress. Zhang Ziyi has been particularly annoyed recently. She can be said to be one of the stars affected by Gao Yuanyuan's rise.

In the past, there were not many choices for endorsements from big brands, and there were only a few domestic actresses who were well-known internationally, so it was very easy to negotiate with them or discuss treatment.

But now it won't work.

First, there was the fucking Berlin Film Festival queen Li Xiaoran. At that time, International Star Zhang Ziyi was able to respond quickly and take the opportunity to hype herself up as a big-name actress to shake off the few other actresses who wanted to tie her up with her.

Then the Venice Film Festival winner Yu Feihong emerged. International star Zhang Ziyi was so angry that she could only grit her teeth and continue to hype the so-called three major Qingyi actresses, trying to get closer to them and be tied to the two international film queens.

For this, many people laughed at her online, saying that she was shameless and had been in the industry for so long but had not even won an important award.

Zhang Ziyi was so angry that she could only bite the bullet and show the certificate for the Best Actress award she won at the Hundred Flowers Awards in 2000 to prove that she is also a movie queen.

As a result, the ridicule became even more intense. She is one of the top three international film queens in Europe, and you are the Hundred Flowers Film Queen. The gap is quite big...

How dare you tie yourself up with someone?
International star Zhang Ziyi did not respond either. After all, we are all movie queens and I am also a famous actress!
She actually has won many international awards, mostly Best Supporting Actress and the like, but the credibility of those awards is not as good as the Hundred Flowers Awards, so I won't bring them out to attract ridicule.

What made Zhang Ziyi most upset was that the little Karami Gao Yuanyuan, who had almost no acting skills to speak of, actually won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival!
This is the first one in the country, and her influence is even greater than the previous two film queens.

What should we do now?
She and her agency urgently thought of a solution. They couldn't continue to hype the four major Qingyis, right?
In the end, we couldn't come up with a better solution, so we had to find another way. Let's hype up the four great Qingyi actresses, but we won't focus on the awards, we'll just talk about the box office!
I have the highest box office among the four great Qingyi actresses!

My movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has a global box office of over 200 million. What can you compare with me?

Well, there are a lot of complaints here. You are already a famous actress, how dare you mention the box office? Aren’t famous actresses famous for their acting skills?
I'm just talking about the box office. I have the highest box office among the big Qingyi actresses, and my acting skills are also recognized as good. What can you do?

It is a fact that her box office is high. Even though she has been criticized, she has finally managed to bind herself successfully and not fall behind.

The level of domestic actresses is divided into four Qingyi, followed by three Huadan.

Now that Cao Yang has gone to Hollywood, he is temporarily unable to promote anyone, which makes many female stars feel disappointed. Therefore, those who think they are qualified have set their sights on the three major actresses.

The three major Huadan are not very nice to listen to. It would be more reasonable to have four major Qingyi and four major Huadan.

In fact, Zhang Ziyi was very dissatisfied with Gao Yuanyuan and was also very curious. How could someone with such mediocre acting skills transform herself so completely in such a short time?

So, as soon as "Secret Sunshine" was released, she bought tickets and prepared to watch this love movie that many people were looking forward to.

Yes, everyone is still saying that this is a sweet love movie.

International actress Zhang has also heard from friends who know some inside information that this is not a typical love movie and may be different from the romantic relationship you imagined.

In short, my friend said mysteriously that this movie is definitely worth watching, but you have to be prepared to be touched by its sweetness.

"I have seen all kinds of love movies. How did a love movie win so many awards?"

Until the movie started, Zhang Ziyi still thought that this must be a slightly perverted love movie, otherwise how could a love movie win a big award.
