The best director ever

Chapter 299 Best Picture Oscar

related to dreams
"Is it related to dreams? I remember when I watched The Matrix, Morpheus said to Neo: You have been living in dreams before. Is this movie also...?"

"Dream? What is it like? Is it hypnosis?"

"Crime movies related to dreams? Sorry, I really can't imagine how to use dreams to commit crimes."

"Is it possible to see other people's dreams, and then take the opportunity to peep into other people's privacy to commit crimes?"

The audience's guesses came up in all kinds of ways. On the stage, Sun Zhiming pondered for a long time, and tentatively said: "Director Han, is a sci-fi movie related to dreams? Is it similar to The Matrix, linking everyone's consciousness in a virtual world?" in the world?"

"Sorry, I said that there is a connection with the Matrix, but I didn't directly transfer the hacker's settings." Han Qiu shook his head, denying Sun Zhiming's opinion.

Seeing this, Huang Qilin suddenly said: "Could it be that there will be some kind of machine in the future that can project people's dreams?"

Han Qiu was taken aback, and said, "Old Huang, your idea is very good, but it is still different from my movie."

In Inception, criminals can invade other people's dreams, but it is still impossible to project dreams onto a real screen as a movie.

Hearing this, Huang Qilin nodded thoughtfully and stopped talking.

Sun Zhiming didn't give up yet, if he could dig out a little more inside information, then he could use it as a gimmick to attract more viewers.

By then, the ratings won't be rising steadily, will they?

Sun Zhiming narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Director Han, tell us some other news?"

"That can't be done, it's a commercial secret." Han Qiu said with a half-smile, "What if someone else steals my idea and makes a movie?"

Sun Zhiming sneered and shrugged: "Then I won't force Director Han."

By this time, the program recording had also come to an end.

After Sun Zhiming read the list of sponsors, the program officially ended under the applause of the audience.

After leaving the CCTV building, Han Qiu stayed in the hotel for one night, and flew back to Shanghai the next day.

At present, Ye Chen and Lin Hua's film crew started shooting shortly after the Chinese New Year, and they have been filming for a long time now.

On Ye Chen's side, Zhou Xingchi and his gang were the leading actors.Lin Hua replaced Zhao Hui, the queen's leading actor.

The male protagonist of Eraser is an uncle type, so an idol actor like Zhao Hui is not particularly suitable.

Then, Lin Hua picked a Xiangjiang actor whom Han Qiu was very familiar with.

Liang Chaowei!
When it comes to Uncle Fan Er, especially the uncle who has a lot of love scenes, there are not many actors in China who can compare with Liang Chaowei.

At that time, after Lin Hua extended the invitation to Liang Chaowei, he was still a little nervous.After all, he is a powerful actor, so he may be a little picky.

But he didn't expect that after Liang Chaowei read the script, he won the scene directly without giving Lin Hua too much time to worry.

In Liang Chaowei's mind, first of all, Lin Hua belonged to Huaxian and his old friend Han Qiu, so there was no need to say much about his reputation.Secondly, Lin Hua is a master director of domestic romance films. The few romance films he shot not only did well at the box office, but also had an excellent reputation.

The two points added together fully meet my own requirements.

Under the "love of a concubine", the two quickly signed a film contract, ready to "wipe" this eraser all over China.

With Ye Chen and Lin Hua moving so fast, Han Qiu naturally refused to be defeated.

Busy until the end of April, Han Qiu daubed and changed, and finally got out the script of "Inception".

At the beginning of May, Han Qiu contacted Warner to discuss the investment of "Inception".

After Warner read the script of "Inception", without saying a word, without even a day's hesitation, they finalized the cooperation plan for this movie.

Having cooperated with Han Qiu so many times, the relationship between the two has long been close. In addition, the script of "Inception" is excellent, and there is a lot of connection with The Matrix. They have no reason to refuse this cooperation.

Han Qiu told Warner a good news, and at the same time, Warner also told Han Qiu a good news.

That is, the list of nominations for this year's Oscars has already been obtained by them in advance.

Both The Matrix and Truman were selected, and each won a lot of nominations.

Han Qiu was not surprised that Warner got the list ahead of time, but he was surprised that The Matrix was nominated for the most valuable award, the best picture.

In addition, The Matrix also nominated some technical awards, such as best editing, best visual effects and other awards.The only regret is that none of the best directors, best male and female protagonists, and male and female co-stars were awarded.

Regarding this, Han Qiu had nothing to say. He had already expected the Matrix to serve as a foil.

In contrast, apart from no technical awards, Truman has won a lot of other awards, such as Best Actor, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and so on.

Most importantly, there is the best picture.

The reason why Han Qiu is so pessimistic is because of the existence of Truman.

The Matrix and Truman to compete for Best Picture?
90% will be completely defeated!
There is another 10%, that is to be won by other films.

The probability of The Matrix winning the best picture is basically 0.

For science fiction films, it is inherently disadvantageous to compete for such awards.

Afterwards, Han Qiu promised Warner that he would go to Los Angeles to accompany this Oscar, and by the way, settle matters related to "Inception".

In early May, the list of nominations for the Oscars was officially announced, and people who followed the Oscars all over the world learned about it.

This naturally also includes many media in China.

Different from the past, the Huaxia media made a big splash this time.

When Han Qiu's The Dark Knight was selected for the Oscars, the domestic media didn't pay much attention to it because the movie still had a Hollywood label.But this time is different, The Matrix is ​​a Chinese movie.

And it was nominated for best picture.

Not only that, Truman's World has also been selected for many awards.Although it was remade by Yankees, Truman was born in China after all.

The combination of these two created a gimmick in China that surpassed any previous Oscars.

On Weibo, major movie forums, and post bars, countless netizens are discussing it.

Will The Matrix win Best Picture?

"Has The Matrix been selected as the best picture? Today is May [-]st, so it doesn't seem to be April [-]st?"

"The people upstairs look down on sci-fi movies? The Matrix is ​​such a classic, why can't it be selected for the best picture?"

"Ahem, it's not a big problem to be selected, but it's difficult to win the prize. I'm afraid that Han Banxian will go with him this time."

"Yeah, the Yankee remake of Truman is also selected for the best picture. According to the Oscar's urine, it will probably be given to Truman."

"Truman satirizes the media society, and the literary and artistic style is very good. The Matrix is ​​indeed not comparable."

"Fuck, look at what you're saying, who are you going to support? It seems that both movies have something to do with Han Banxian."

"Han Banxian is related to Truman, but he didn't get any nominations because of Truman. If Truman wins the award, it means that Huaxia's current movies are very good."

"Han Banxian is really good. One Infernal Affairs and one Truman. Where can Yankees remake it? They all won awards. Uh, in my heart, the best film of Truman has already been decided."

"Tell me, if Han Banxian made these two films in the United States, would he win an award?"

Han Qiu also thought about this question.But after much deliberation, he could only come up with a "no" answer.

Oscar's piss is not only a preference for literary and drama films, it also prefers Americans, and the last time is half Americans with green cards.

Han Qiu, a pure-bred Chinese, would be able to win some technical awards. It is not so difficult to win those key awards.

In addition, Hollywood is not without reason as the center of world cinema.He is not only good at commercial films, but also those drama films that satirize and allude to reality.

As a result, there are often movies in the United States that allude to politics or human nature, and these are Oscar's favorites.

So this time, Truman is also under a lot of pressure, and the probability of winning the prize is not 100%.

But no matter who wins the prize, it has nothing to do with The Matrix.

This year's Oscars will be held in late May.After the Labor Day holiday, Han Qiu left for the United States ahead of schedule.

When he left, he attracted the attention of countless people.

Countless Chinese netizens who follow the Oscars are looking forward to Truman winning the award.

Although it was a remake, it was spread from Huaxia after all.

If you say it later, Huaxia will also have a long face!
(Oscar's time is not so late, I changed it slightly, please don't mind.)
