I hung up the phone with a bit of regret, Harvey's explanation was very reasonable.

The Oscars have always been an American award.

In the American mind, American films should be number one in the world, and the Oscar for Best Picture should naturally belong to American films. Films from other countries can compete for Best Foreign Language Film, although yours is one level lower than Best Film.

But it is already the best movie outside of American movies.

Prior to this, only Roberto Benigni's "Life is Beautiful" had the exception of winning Best Actor!

Of course, it may not be unfair that "Life Is Beautiful" didn't win the best picture, because Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" didn't win either. In 1999, the Oscar for best picture went to a film called "Shakespeare in Love."

crappy movie…

Why is "Parasite" an exception?

Who knows?

But "Big Buddha" is unlikely. On the one hand, Amou is not a director in the Hollywood system. On the other hand, Alfonso Cuaron has been in Hollywood for more than ten years and has all the connections...

What's more, the male and female protagonists of "Gravity" are George Clooney and Sandra Bullock respectively. These two happen to be typical figures of the white left in Hollywood. They belong to the center of power and are keen on social activities and political activities...

George Clooney, in particular, is said to have pushed for a referendum in South Sudan through his personal influence.

This is probably why Warner worked so hard to convince George Clooney to make a cameo. Of course, George Clooney forfeited his salary and received a symbolic 20% global dividend!

Make a lot of money!

Therefore, it is appropriate to go out of your way to help Alfonso Cuaron publicize the Director Award.

It is worth mentioning that Harvey has worked very hard, and he probably knows that the things he has done are enough to keep him in prison picking up soap for thirty to fifty years...

Even if he has a good relationship with the National Party, he might be able to get an amnesty list, but once the incident is exposed, his reputation will be completely ruined, and he will probably say goodbye to movies for the rest of his life!

By the way, Harvey also said that he can compete for the best screenwriter...

Get some help, he is the director!

Well, mainly he doesn’t want to spend $6 million…

…

The Directors Guild Annual Commendation Ceremony is actually the Directors Guild Awards!

It was originally based on the Directors Guild Awards in North America, and indeed the first one was held in 2005!

Then in 2006, awards for various projects were rampant in various places, and the superiors stopped it.

The official Huabiao Awards were changed to biennial awards, and other industry associations in the film industry stopped awarding awards.

Although the China Film Directors Association's annual award was only awarded once, it was stopped across the board.

In the following five years, every application was rejected without discussion.

In 2011, the Cross-Strait and Three-Region Directors Conference was held in the Mainland. Once again, I applied in the form of internal commendation of the association and was allowed to hold it!

Shen Changlin is of course a member of the Directors Guild. After "Xiu Chun Knife", he became a naturalized citizen on the recommendation of his teacher...

At the end of February, Shen Changlin attended the Directors Association's commendation dinner.

I thought there wouldn't be much media attention... The Directors Guild sounds like an insider game.

There are no acting awards, only two awards: Actor of the Year and Actress of the Year!

Last year, the Actor of the Year awards were awarded to Huang Bo and Yan Bingyan. Zhang Ziyi was probably quite unhappy...

But I haven’t seen any press release...

Valley

I guess no one cares either!

After thinking too much, Shen Changlin got out of the car and stepped onto the red carpet, where he was surrounded by a group of media.

He asked a bunch of random questions, which made his head hurt.

"Listen, come one by one!"

"Director Shen, the box office of "Charlotte" has exceeded 1.4 billion, and it is about to surpass the box office of "The Thieves". What do you think?"

"…so happy."

"As a director, don't you have the ambition to maintain a record?"

"...I still want to be the president of the United States. I am an investor. "Charlotte" is a play I invested in. If it is a hit, I am happier than anyone else. It shows that the audience is discerning..."

"The box office of "A Story More Sad than Sad" exceeded 500 million, was that what you expected?"

"I really didn't expect this...but I know that the audience is willing to pay, and it must be satisfied somewhere!"

After a brief interview, Shen Changlin turned around and was about to leave. Then the group of reporters asked: "Director Shen, do you know "My Love from the Star"?"

"...I know...what's wrong?"

"Have you seen it?"

"Of course I have. When they were looking for Kim Soo-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun to star in "The Lost Boys", I knew that they were in contact with screenwriter Park Ji-eun. Park Ji-eun is a very good screenwriter. He has previously produced "The Help Queen", "The Queen of Reversals" and "Shun". "My Love on the Vine" three works, among which "My Love on the Vine" was the highest-rated TV drama in South Korea in 2012... I am sure that they will become popular in Korea because of Park Ji-eun's new drama. As for Korean co-productions, the Korean market is also very important... Of course, I didn’t expect it to become so popular!”

"Then can you briefly explain why "My Love from the Star" became such a hit?"

Shen Changlin looked at the time and then said: "In terms of characters, the role of Professor Dou continues the Korean drama routine, that is, the male protagonist has boundless power. He was a domineering president before, but the domineering president was obviously out of date and tired of watching it, so he changed She lost a layer of skin and became an alien, and this alien is arrogant, knowledgeable, and has super powers that can protect the heroine at any time... The most novel thing is the character of Qian Songyi, a goddess and a free woman. Switch, and has a lovable personality. Although he is vain, arrogant and superficial, he is cute, straightforward and has strong business ability..."

"Then do you think there is anything worth learning from this show?"

Shen Changlin nodded: "Of course, the camera sense, rhythm, the beauty of the interior design, the costume fashion sense of the characters, and the novelty of the plot are all worth learning. Of course, all of this is thanks to the industrialization progress of the Korean entertainment industry! "

After a pause, he added: "In fact, I am also thinking about making a modern urban fantasy love drama series that is similar to "Star You"... The male protagonist's character is based on Do Minjun, but he will not be an alien. It can be the messenger of hell who lives forever and must meet his bride...the details are still being conceived."

"I will write the rough outline myself, and then let the company's screenwriters fill in the content..."

"The biggest difficulty... is probably to pass the review. If you can't pass the review, it may be broadcast online. Please help me promote it. The cost of this drama will not be less than 200 million. I will use the top photography technology and the best Created by lighting engineers... If any video website is interested, please contact me!"

"Director...I should direct the first episode, and then find a suitable director to take over...The title of the episode..."The Lonely and Brilliant God"!"

Finally, he got the news he wanted. The media no longer bothered Shen Changlin. He could finally walk into the hall, met Xu Guangtou and gave him a hug. The latter's first words were: "You were also asked about "From the Stars" "You"?"

"...Yes, you were asked too?"

"Why is this show so popular?"

Shen Changlin nodded: "It is indeed very popular. iQiyi has received at least 300 million in advertising from this drama!"

"Then they made a lot of money?"

"...It can't be that simple. That's not how accounts are calculated. Video websites need to pay bandwidth fees, CDN, and server fees are exaggerated..."

“…Director Pants is here!”

"Ah? What?"

"The pants are here..."
