Chapter 110 The Biggest Loser of the 70th Oscars

The time came to March of 1998.

Although [Titanic] has swept nearly 17 billion US dollars in box office in the global film market, its momentum has obviously declined.

Filmmakers and the media around the world have also gradually changed from shock to numbness, and then to habit.

In the end, gradually, I stopped paying attention to [Titanic].

But when the time came to March 3.

Everyone and the media unconsciously turned their attention to the [Titanic].

Because this day is the day of the Oscars.

The "Titanic" crew was nominated for 14 awards when the Oscars announced the nomination list.

You know, there are only 24 awards in one Oscar.

There are 14 nominations, more than half of the awards.

This is a very exaggerated amount.

However, even though Zhang Nan starred in "Titanic" and also has the title of an assistant director, he can walk the Oscar red carpet with the hot crew of "Titanic".

But Zhang Nan did not choose to be with "Titanic", but chose other crews.

Yes.

It's different from the situation last year when they didn't even get an invitation to the Oscars.

Zhang Nan not only received an invitation to the Oscars this year, but also had a lot of choices.

Not to mention the crew of "Titanic" with 14 nominations.

The crew of "Men in Black" was nominated for three awards, and the crew of "Face Changing" and "The Fifth Element" were nominated for one.

It can even be said that it is not a bragging speech that is not a bragging pen.

Zhang Nan's crew has already reserved an Oscar statuette.

Because of the Oscar statuette for the best sound editing, a total of three production crews were nominated, and they were 'rounded up' by [Titanic], [Face Changing] and [The Fifth Element].

In the end, Zhang Nan chose to walk the red carpet with the crew of [The Fifth Element].

the reason is simple.

At least there is a young lady in this crew.

Although this young lady is the wife of director Luc Besson, she can be seen from a distance but not played with.

But the two-male lineup of the crew of "Men in Black" and "Face Changing" is a pure monk team, and there is no condition to watch from a distance.

And the co-director of the new project, although Zhang Nan has already pulled James Cameron back and forth by relying on the timing of bargain hunting.

Steven Spielberg and George Lucas have also been tagged on the target.

But Zhang Nan thought about it carefully.

The number of co-directors is still a bit thin, and it's not enough. We still have to bring in a few directors who are more attractive in commercial films. Otherwise, the investment of [-] million US dollars is really not easy to cheat... Take it.

But for candidates, Zhang Nan still has requirements.

You must have the ability, otherwise it will be useless to pull in and get in the way.

Therefore, the director of [Men in Black], who has no other masterpieces, was directly eliminated by him.

There must also be character.

Otherwise, Zhang Nan himself would be disgusted if he gave away a shining resume for nothing.

So Wu Baige was eliminated by him.

So there is only one Luc Besson left to participate in the Oscar today.

"Old Lu, do you have a schedule for the second half of this year?" After walking the red carpet and sitting in his seat, Zhang Nan took a chance and asked Luc Besson.

Luc Besson glanced at Zhang Nan, thought for a while, and said, "There is a project to support French directors. I am the producer and screenwriter."

After the film [The Fifth Element], Luc Besson has become the No. 1 French commercial director.

When you become the boss, you naturally have to take care of your younger brothers and support the forces, otherwise you will always be a bald commander who doesn't make arrangements.

"I have a co-directed project, are you interested?" Zhang Nan said bluntly.

Luc Besson pondered for a moment when he heard the words, his eyes showed some interest, and he asked, "What kind of project?"

"What I can tell you now is that the scale of the project will be relatively large, and the number of co-directors will be quite large." Zhang Nan replied.

Luc Besson was taken aback when he heard the words, and then asked, "Who is there?"

"The currently confirmed director candidates are only me and James Cameron. There are more director candidates who are interested, such as Spielberg, George Lucas, Francis Coppola, and Roland Emmerich."

Zhang Nan's answer was all about the names of the great directors, which stunned Luc Besson.

After a long time, Luc Besson said slowly, "Zhang, you really think highly of me."

"So your answer is?" Zhang Nan continued to ask.

Luc Besson replied very readily: "Leave me a seat."

"Best Actor Is..."

"Best Actress is..."

"Best Picture Is..."

Except that James Cameron went up and shouted the lines of Xiao Lizi in the movie: I am the king of the world.

Everyone else who was named went up and cried while holding the microphone.

The words are also basically the routine of thanking the sky, thanking you, thanking him, thanking you for coming and going.

And as time went by, the weight of the awards announced became more and more important.

Those who cried on stage became more and more emotional.

When the last heavyweight Oscar statuette was sent down, the entire Oscar was basically over.

Taken together.

The crew of "Titanic" with 14 nominations and 11 Oscars is the biggest winner tonight.

And James Cameron, who won the best picture and best director, is the big winner among the big winners.

However, Zhang Nan felt that the biggest losers tonight were not those crews who won fewer awards than the crew of [Titanic], or those crews that had never competed with the crew of [Titanic].

Zhang Nan felt that the biggest loser was Xiao Li from the crew of "Titanic".

Zhang Nan has great reason to believe.

If it weren't for the [-] nominations of "Titanic", the performance of the [-] winners would be too exaggerated.

Coupled with James Cameron after winning the award, his speech and attitude were too arrogant.

The Oscar jury would not let Xiao Li run away with him seven times because of an Oscar winner.

Forcibly from a small fresh meat, boiled into an old bacon to fulfill his wish.
-
the next day.

Not surprisingly, [Titanic] was nominated for 14 awards and won eleven statuettes.

It became the headlines of the major media and was widely disseminated.

The one-day box office of "Titanic" rose slightly again.

But Zhang Nan didn't have the heart to pay attention to these news, because the production team of "Rush Hour" which had been filming for more than three months, was about to wrap up.

And the finalization of "Rush Hour" means that Ye Quanzhen will leave.

Zhang Nan was feeling melancholy, Chenglong walked up to him with a person.

"Anan, let me introduce to you, the important investor of [Rush Hour], Alan Toby, the president of New Line Films."

　I'm really not lazy
