Chapter 151 The aftermath after Oscar is even more lively

There are domestic Chinese films participating in the exhibition, and domestic media will naturally be sent to interview.

When "The Undertaker" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, the Chinese media in the media area cheered and celebrated.

No matter what happens after they go back, they are really happy for "The Undertaker" on this occasion.

After the award acceptance speech, Zhang Hao led Andy Zhou Xun Da Mi Mi to the backstage for an interview.

During the chattering English interview, Zhang Hao accurately grasped the local accent from the other side of the Pacific Ocean: "Hi Director Zhang Hao, I am a reporter from "Film Weekly".

This time "The Undertaker" successfully won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, how do you feel? "

Zhang Hao looked at Hua Zai holding the trophy beside him, and said with a smile: "When I first asked Hua Zai to act in this film, I never thought that this day would come. For me, for our entire crew, this It's all a cause for celebration.

Of course, I am more happy to see that our domestic films can go abroad and let more people in the world realize it. "

Zhang Hao's speech is very in line with the current mainstream thinking.

In the past few years, many directors made blockbuster costume films just to go out, because since "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", foreigners love to watch this.

It's a pity that the dream of going out, after several years of hard work, finally came to an end without a problem.

But this time "The Undertaker" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, giving Chinese filmmakers hope again and continuing to promote Chinese films to the world.

These are what the third master said when they drank tea and chatted with Zhang Hao, and it was one of the highlights of the cultural strategy above.

However, the country is so big, there are so many things, and there are too many areas of concern.Although the idea was proposed above, it has not been put into practice, and it can only stay in the mind of the above, and it is not known to the outside world.

But now, Zhang Hao has successfully won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, giving hope to Chinese films going global again.

It is conceivable that in the next period of time, more film and television companies and directors will follow up and continue to try to go out.

It's just that this road is destined to be difficult.

As much as I hate to admit it, the world today is dominated by the West.Zhang Hao thinks it is very, very difficult for Chinese films to go global under many obstacles.

But it is not impossible. China has the second largest film market in the world, and it will continue to grow in the future.China has a larger population base than North America, which can be translated into more movie consumption population.

As long as certain policies are supplemented and management is done well, the film industry can develop benignly and on a large scale.Not now, but it will be possible in the future.

It's just that Zhang Hao knows what happened later, not everyone has a heart for the sound development of the film industry.After going back and forth, the movie eventually became a tool for promoting traffic and capital to make money.

Always think about the future, the future is the future, the future has not yet come.

Zhang Hao didn't want to think about things so far away, he just wanted to celebrate today.

After the Oscars, there is usually a celebration banquet, and the crew of "The Artist", the biggest winner of this year's Oscars, became the focus of the banquet.

Although it won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, the scenery was only there for a while, and the crew of "The Undertaker" became a little transparent at the celebration banquet.

This kind of occasion is usually a place to make contacts, but people probably don't want to take the initiative to get to know them.

Sandra Bullock, who was hiding in a corner and eating pastries, came over to present awards to them: "So you are hiding here, Hao Zha."

Zhang Hao, with black hair, corrected Sandra Bullock's pronunciation: "Ms. Sandra,"

"Just call me Sunny."

"Okay, Sunny, I want to correct your pronunciation. My name is not Hao Zha. Our Chinese way of pronouncing names is different from yours. My name is Zhang Hao."

The word Zhang Hao was pronounced in a correct accent in Mandarin.

Sandra Bullock followed up: "Zhahao~"

"Zhang Hao~"

"Smashing consumption~"

"Forget it," Zhang Hao waved his hands, gave up struggling, and read how he likes!

Sandra Bullock chuckled, took two glasses of champagne from the waiter beside her, and gave Zhang Hao a glass: "I haven't congratulated you yet,"

"Is it the matter of winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film? You have already congratulated on this." Zhang Hao said, holding up his wine glass.

"No, no, no, that's not what I'm talking about." Sandra Bullock looked at Zhang Hao's young face and said, "Congratulations, you have entered the sight of Warner Pictures and become one of the directors to restart the Batman series." One, and very up front.”

"???" Zhang Hao raised his head and said hello, looking at Da Mimi who was listening to him, she also looked suspicious and full of doubts.

"Do you feel unbelievable?" Sandra Bullock asked with a smile.

"Excuse me, Ms. Sandra..."

"Call me Sunny."

"Okay, Sunny." Zhang Hao patted his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, but this is too outrageous. There are so many outstanding directors in Hollywood, why did they find me?"

Sandra Bullock explained: "Actually, when I first heard the news, I couldn't believe it. As you said, there are many outstanding directors in Hollywood. Why did you find a non-Hollywood director.

But after careful analysis, it became clear that the IP of Batman has been rotten since the fourth part of the series, and it has become a project that no director dares to take over.

Warner tried various methods to restart Batman, but it didn't improve, so it had to be sealed for more than ten years.

It wasn't until recently, seeing the success of Marvel Next Door, that this rebooted the Batman series.Not only Batman, but also other DC heroes are under planning. "

The Big Three of justice, if Warner is determined to restart, then Superman and Batman are both suitable.

But there is still a doubt.

"So, you still haven't explained why Warner Pictures would consider me." Zhang Hao said.

"It is said that James Cameron introduced you to Warner Bros." Sandra Bullock patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder and said, "Have you been visiting Warner Bros. Pictures recently? Take advantage of this opportunity."

After speaking, Sandra Bullock and Zhang Hao had a drink, and left after drinking.

In fact, this news is very secret, and most Hollywood filmmakers don't know it.Sandra Bullock has some connections in Warner Bros., so I got the news.

After Sandra Bullock left, Hua Tsai and Zhou Xun Da Mi Mi immediately surrounded him, asking all kinds of questions.

"Is what she said true?"

"Isn't it? Could it be a lie to you?"

"Directing "Batman"? It's incredible to find us a Chinese director to shoot."

Zhang Hao signaled everyone to calm down: "Whether it's true or not, you'll know when you've been to Warner Pictures."

The celebration banquet is over, but the discussion about the Oscars is not over yet.

This year's Oscars were full of controversy. The "Los Angeles Times" commented on the second day after the awards ceremony: "The 84th Academy Awards is another Oscar without any suspense. "The Artist" Meimei received the best award. Film, Best Director and Best Actor Award three awards.

Old-school Meryl Sterry takes Best Actress.

There were no surprises, no dark horses, no surprises, and no surprises.

Therefore, this year's Oscar looks like an elderly man who has to go to the toilet every few minutes, and the drips are not clean. This is really unbearable, this man has too much urine up. "

"Chicago Daily" explained the bias of this Oscar from a set of data: "The average age of the Oscar judges is as high as 62 years old, and less than 40% of the judges are under the age of 2, and 60% of the judges are over the age of 54." .

There are a total of 6183 judges in the college, of which 3322 are over 60 years old.

How can we expect these more than 3000 old people to appreciate "The Social Network" about FACEBOOK? Therefore, the 83rd Best Picture is "The King's Speech" instead of "The Social Network", which is more popular.

Similarly, it is impossible for these more than 3000 elderly people to like films such as "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "A Dangerous Method", and "Drive", which are more in line with the tastes of young people. The latter two films did not even have an Oscar nomination.

94% of the Academy's judges are white, and 77% are male. It can also be seen from this that the taste of Oscar is basically the taste of an old white man.

Using this taste to analyze the 84th awards, it will be surprising to find that this old man's taste is really stable. "

In addition, the "New York Times" also criticized "The Undertaker", which won the Oscar for the best foreign language film: "In order to expand their influence on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the Oscar judges sacrificed the most essential principles of film selection and gave "The Undertaker" Best Foreign Language Film was awarded.

The film is long and stinky, full of tedious sensationalism and self-touching, and actually the whole thing stinks like a can of herring that has melted into water. "

The "New York Times" is a firm stand against the Chinese film "The Undertaker" winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

However, before the report, it is estimated that the "New York Times" had never even heard of the names of Zhang Hao and "The Undertaker", and Cun Cui opposed it for the sake of opposition.

Compared with the North American media and public opinion circles complaining about the old man's taste in this year's Oscars, most of the Chinese media set off a carnival of public opinion, and many official media have ended.

"Film Weekly" commented: "This is not only the success of Zhang Hao and "The Undertaker", but also the success of Chinese-language movies. "The Undertaker" has contributed a lot to bringing our film culture to the world."

"Sina.com" said: "This is a great progress for domestic films, and Chinese-language film directors finally no longer stare at costume blockbusters.

Zhang Hao has proved with facts that it is not necessary to make blockbuster costume movies, as long as genre movies are shot well, they can still hit the Oscars. "

There are also groups from various places, all expressing their congratulations to Zhang Hao and the movie "The Undertaker" through their official Weibo.

The most important thing is that this matter was on the news at [-]:[-] pm. Although it was only broadcast by the news host, there was not even a picture of winning the award.

But news at this point means the greatest official recognition.

The names of Zhang Hao, Hua Tsai, Zhou Xun, and even Jin Shijie became traffic codes for a while, and were sought after by domestic media and netizens.

With this shareholder style, it is hard to say whether Zhang Hao is the number one director in the Chinese film industry at the moment, after all, there are still so many big shots ahead.

But Hua Tsai and Zhou Xun have become the first brother and sister in the current Chinese film industry, this is the power brought by honor.

It can be said that the Oscar for the best foreign language film is worth five Palme d'Or.

After "The Undertaker" won the Oscar, Chen Gezi became extremely low-key.He usually loves to write songs and poems, and he, who expresses his literary literacy, rarely moves at all.

Obviously, he was afraid that the media and netizens would remember what happened last month and simply pretend to be dead.

Although Mrs. Chen did not divorce Chen Gezi, they had already slept in separate rooms.After hearing that Zhang Hao won the Oscar, she smashed all the things in the room that could be smashed.

But at the same time, she also chose to play dead.

Now that Zhang Hao is in the limelight, if she comes out to say some sarcastic remarks, she will probably be scolded to death by netizens.

Zhang Hao's grandfather's small courtyard has become a place visited by some big shots in the circle during this period of time.Zhang Hao hasn't come back yet, so everyone is naturally looking for Zhang Hao's grandfather.

It is conceivable that for a long time to come, Zhang Hao will reach the pinnacle of his career as a director by virtue of his Oscar momentum.

Such a top director is the object that any film and television company wants to fight for.

Zhang Hao's regular partners, Bona Pictures, Wanda Pictures, and Huayi are all very excited.It goes without saying what it means to work with an Oscar-winning director.

Up to now, Zhang Hao's status has been rising steadily.

In the past, no matter what kind of achievements Zhang Hao made, some people would always say that he was just lucky for a while, and one day he would reveal his true colors.

But now I can't say such words anymore, I have won an Oscar, and this national teacher has not won the honor, what will Zhang Hao do?
If it wasn't because Zhang Hao was still young, the call to replace the national teacher would have been louder now.

I don't know who or what netizen with great powers found the flight back to China for the crew of "The Undertaker". When the plane landed at the airport that day, there were thousands of movie fans and journalists who came to pick up the plane.

They held the support signs of Zhang Hao Huazi Weekly, as well as the posters of "The Undertaker" and the national flag, waiting for the crew of "The Undertaker" to appear.

But when they saw Hua Tsai, Zhou Xun, and Da Mimi walking out, but Zhang Hao was not there, everyone couldn't help being stunned.

Hua Tsai and Zhou Xun Da Mi Mi were interviewed at the airport, the reporter immediately asked where Zhang Hao had gone.

Hua Tsai replied: "Director Zhang was invited by Warner Pictures and director James Cameron to study and visit."

The media and the fans who picked him up immediately lamented that Zhang Hao's success is not without reason.Having achieved such a great honor, I still haven't given up the opportunity to learn and improve.

In fact, this is an excuse discussed by Zhang Hao and Hua Tsai in advance. Although he won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which made Zhang Hao reach the peak of his reputation, it also pushed him to the forefront.

When the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will lose;

Suddenly achieved great success, Zhang Hao was certainly pleasantly surprised.But at the same time, Zhang Hao also understood what kind of position he was in.

Successful people have never lacked jealous people. At this time, it is the best choice to keep a low profile and not show off to attract attention.

When the limelight passes, the heat of the matter drops a bit, and I don't attract so much attention anymore, it won't be too late to come out and bubble up.

Zhang Hao was right. With the ferment of public opinion in the past few days, his fan base began to grow exponentially.

With the excessive praise of fans and the media, it also aroused some people's resentment.

Now that Zhang Hao is in the limelight, these people's slightly bad language will be attacked by fans and netizens, and it will intensify by then.

Then it is used by some people with good intentions, and finally good things turn into bad things.

This has already been verified when the Oscar nominations were announced last time.

Hua Tsai and the others did not show up after a brief interview at the airport, but kept a low profile.

If it wasn't for some official arrangements, such as the interview of the six princesses, the official program could not be rejected, Hua Tsai and the others didn't want to appear in the public eye.

As for other variety shows and the like, they can be pushed as soon as they can.

After Hua Tsai accepted the interview with the Six Princesses movie channel, he simply hid back to Hong Kong Island and disappeared.

The same is true for Da Mi Mi, although she is not the main creator of the crew of "The Undertaker", but she also understands her boyfriend's worries.

So all the pre-arranged press releases on the Oscars red carpet were withdrawn, business activities were reduced, media and variety shows were avoided, and she only concentrated on studying the script of "The Butterfly Effect" given to her by Zhang Hao at home.

The crew of "The Undertaker" is so low-key, some people still joke that they have won such a high honor, instead of seizing the opportunity to continue hype, they hide instead, feeling as if they made a mistake.

But in fact, this virtually resolved many dangers brewing in the dark, allowing "The Undertaker" to calm down from the crater.

The netizen media was busy for a while, and the main creators didn't take the initiative to hype it up, and the enthusiasm for this matter passed after a while.

Zhang Hao's grandfather also had this level of worry, but seeing Zhang Hao's handling method, he sighed to Zhang Hao's grandmother: "Xiao Hao has grown up and matured."

Grandma was a little dissatisfied: "It's obviously a good thing, why do you hide from people, and it's not like you did something bad."

"Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. It's a good thing, so we have to keep a low profile, lest extreme joy turn into sadness, and become a bad thing." Grandpa said.

"I don't understand you people who do big things. I play mahjong with the lady next door. Is it okay to brag about my grandson?" Grandma said, and got up to play mahjong.

Grandpa is lying on the rocking chair, basking in the sun, thinking about his grandson who is far away in the United States. What is he doing at this time?

Hua Tsai and Zhou Xun Da Mi Mi are back, and Zhang Hao found a perfect excuse, an excuse to be invited by James Cameron and Warner Pictures to study.

In China, it is a volcanic eruption, but in the United States, people don't care at all which director won the Oscar for the best foreign language film.

So Zhang Hao was able to avoid the sight of domestic media netizens and calm down.

On the fourth day after the Oscars ceremony, when domestic media hype was raging, Zhang Hao was invited to visit Warner Bros. Pictures.

Jason Robinoff, vice president of Warner Bros., received him.

　Canned herring makes me sick, whoever invented this thing, I'll go...
