China Entertainment Mythology 2004

Chapter 169 Explosion, No. [-] in Asia
Do Chinese netizens care about who wins the Oscar?In fact, I don't care too much. Maybe most netizens don't even know what Oscar is.This year is better than previous years. After all, Li Mu has collected a lot of nominations, but in fact, only a small part of them really pay attention to relevant news from time to time.

Moreover, even netizens who pay attention to relevant information all the time, most of them only think that Li Mu won a few technical awards at most. Just dumbfounded.

"An unprecedented victory, 24 out of 6 Oscars, director Li Mu swept the Oscars!"

"How beautiful is director Li Mu's win this time? Three films won 24 Oscar nominations, and the 82nd Oscar narrowly became the solo show of Chinese director Li Mu!"

"Did "Gravity" really lose to "Avatar"? Judging from the three dimensions of creating history, box office, and awards, "Gravity" has two wins and one loss, and it actually won!"

"Director James Cameron and ex-wife Catherine Bigelow both lost to Chinese director Li Mu, and Gong Li became the first Asian Oscar queen!"

Most of Huaxia's netizens were dumbfounded. They all knew that Director Li Mu had made another big commotion this time, but how big was this commotion?
Most netizens don't know much about the Oscars, so many people soon began to popularize science.

"Let's put it this way, "Gravity" made Li Mu the second director in Asia to win the Oscar for Best Director, the first being Ang Lee; it made Gong Li the first actress in Asia to win the Oscar for Best Actress. "Manchester by the Sea" made Director Li Mu the first Asian director to win an Oscar for best picture, the first Asian director to win an Oscar winner, and Tom Hanks to become the first actor in history to win three Oscar winners!"

"Asia's first Oscar queen, Asia's first Oscar winner, Asia's first Oscar for best picture, Asia's second Oscar for best director. The first three-time Oscar winner in history - the above achievements are directed by Li Mu It was created at the same Oscars, among them, there are several people in the category of 'No. [-] in Asia', you might as well count them by yourself, and tell me after counting, is it strong or not?"

There is no doubt that this is another incident of breaking the circle. The last time the circle was broken was when Li Mu won the Hugo Award.

So how big is the impact of this award?
Under the rolling reports of CCTV's various channels, under the repeated bombardment of local satellite TV and even local TV stations, even those old men and women who have never been to the theater are talking about related topics in the alleys.

Some old men even swear that Li Mu has as much as 500 million yuan in bonuses this time, and the young man is definitely going to make a fortune!

Then some netizens began to disclose the inside story of the birth of "Manchester by the Sea" on the Tianya Forum.

Why did director Li Mu suddenly make such a movie that was not even released in China?I think few people in China know about it, okay?Why did he suddenly win the most important Oscar award?How did this trick work?

"You may not believe me when I say it, but I guarantee that everything I say is true. In fact, this history-making "Manchester by the Sea" is just a part of director Li Mu's masterpiece "Inception". A by-product."

"By-product? What do you mean? Why is this film related to "Inception"?"

Under the watching and reminders of countless netizens, this netizen finally told some inside stories of the year.

"When director Li Mu was preparing to shoot "Inception", all the work was almost ready, but the result was that the actor was still undecided. At that time, director Li Mu had two suitable candidates in his mind. Of course, one is Tom Hanks, and the other is unknown to many people, but actually this person is the No.1 choice in Director Li’s mind, and this person is the hero of the Titanic, Leonardo Li.”

Netizens' interest was fully aroused.

"Faster, faster and faster, I can't sleep at night!"

"Little Lizi can play the hero of Pirates of Dreams? It's not a style at all, okay? I feel that Xiao Lizi is not good at all. If he really plays this film, he will be useless."

"Agree."

"What about the landlord? Don't play missing, update quickly, it's not enough to watch!"

"Come on, I'm sorting out the information just now, let's continue. You must know that although Director Li Mu had already achieved some results at that time, it was completely incomparable with what he is now. The result is that the audition invitation was sent out, but who of these two people I also refused to act. What should I do? If there are other directors, I will definitely change actors, right?"

"In the end, Director Li Mu didn't agree. Aren't you two not interested in "Inception"? Then we'll write two scripts that you are interested in right away!"

"Do you want to act in my new script? Do you want to?! If you want to, then come and shoot "Inception"!"

"Some netizens may have already guessed that one of these two scripts is "Manchester by the Sea" which just swept the Oscars."

Netizens immediately exploded.

"I'm stupid, true or false? Horrible! If you don't come to act in my movie, I'll write an Oscar-winning script right away. It depends on whether you two are tempted or not!"

And the netizen who broke the news continued:
"At that time, Director Li Mu sent two scripts to Tom Hanks and Leonardo respectively. The script Tom Hanks received was the miracle "Manchester by the Sea", which turned out to be the movie that made him a successful filmmaker. The actor who has won the most Oscar winners in history!"

Netizens:

"Brilliant!"

"It's true. Basically, all major domestic companies know about it. It's not a secret in the industry."

"I have also heard some, saying that the two scripts directed by Li Mu were even picked up by Weinstein, saying that they are all capable of winning Oscars. As a result, Tom Hanks directly moved out his Hollywood film Resources, when Li Mu was filming in France, four vice presidents from Hollywood Six went to France to meet him."

"Is no one as curious as I am about what happened to Director Li Mu's script for Leonardo?"

"Don't worry, let's talk about the script right away. It is said that Leonardo didn't pay attention to it after reading the script. In the end, Tom Hanks decided to star in "Inception", so both scripts fell on Tom Hanks on Kex's head."

"That is to say, in the not-too-distant future, Director Li Mu will make another Oscar-level film. No one can say whether he will win the award in the end, but there will be another Oscar for Best Picture and Oscar for Best Leading Actor. Nominations for Oscar, Best Director and other awards will definitely be won! And if this movie can also win awards, then Tom Hanks is likely to become an unprecedented four-time Hauska actor!"

Netizens are all shocked now, is it so evil?

As more and more netizens said that it was true, many netizens couldn't help feeling:
"Oscar best picture, best actor and other award-winning films are actually spin-offs of "Inception"? Crazy enough!"

"The main product didn't win the award, and the by-product achieved unprecedented success?"

"It feels like Li Mu doesn't look like a person from Earth. I seriously suspect that he is from an alien. Earth people can't be so awesome!"

"Agreed, in reality, no one can be so awesome. It is obviously more believable to say that it is an alien."

In South Korea, this matter is even more popular than China.

In the past, Koreans were still concerned about the invasion of Hollywood movies. As a result, after a few years, most of the movies that accounted for the highest box office in the Korean market were directed by Li Mu!
What about the promised Hollywood movie invasion?
In the end, it turned out to be a Huaxia director's invasion for no reason?
In the past few years, director Li Mu's money earned in the Korean film market by himself has almost caught up with half of Hollywood. Can it be more exaggerated?

In the end, he even won the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor, etc.?Even "Gravity" is a film that makes history?

Why has the distance between Korean movies and Chinese movies suddenly widened to such an extent?

The situation of RB is similar, basically all the media are frantically reporting this matter.

Breaking the circle, this is definitely breaking the circle.

　I have a splitting headache, less today, sorry.
