You promised to make a bad movie, but your box office exceeded 10 billion?

Chapter 184 It’s true that the tiger father has no dog son
In the elevator of the Penguin Building, the senior executives of Qianda stood together and surrounded Li Guanghong. Although this was not done deliberately, it was quite a bit to force him into the palace.

They couldn't even wait to leave the penguins.

"Mr. Li, the debt is about to become due. If you cannot repay it on time, you must know the consequences better than we do, right?"

"I know Penguin has gone too far, but now we have no choice. Are you going to destroy the entire Qianda because of your anger?"

Qianda Vice President Wang Jiushao, who is also a shareholder holding 13.2% of Qianda's shares and the representative of the board of directors this time, asked.

Although Li Guanghong and his wife hold 52.8% of the shares, if he really does something detrimental to Qianda's interests, their other directors have the right to oppose Li Guanghong.

At this time, Zheng Yuhan beside him said, "It's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"..."

"What is it?"

"When we are talking, do you have the right to interrupt?"

Before Zheng Yuhan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Jiushao. At the same time, he looked at him with a pair of fierce eyes, which made Zheng Yuhan tremble.

"I know Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon did well at the box office in the beautiful country, but no matter how good it is at the box office, what use is it to us?"

"If the domestic audience doesn't buy it, it's useless!"

"Tens of millions of swords are worth nothing!"

Wang Jiushao got angry when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was mentioned. If it weren't for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" not living up to expectations, maybe they wouldn't have to suffer from Penguin's anger.

“What if it gets an Oscar nomination?”

At this time, Li Guanghong spoke.

He looked at Wang Jiushao indifferently, and with just one look, Wang Jiushao, who was still arrogant just now, chose to shut up.

Of course, it could also be that he was so shocked by the news that Li Guanghong said that he lost his voice.

He is not alone.

At this time, the entire elevator fell into deathly silence.

Ding Dong!

The elevator goes to the second basement.

Li Guanghong walked towards his car.

The other senior executives of Qianda woke up from their daze and followed Li Guanghong towards the parking lot.

Even if they have not worked in the film and television industry, they are all senior business leaders and naturally understand the value of Oscar nominations.

It is foreseeable that when this news reaches China, the originally tepid "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will set off a frenzy.

This is the first Chinese-language film in China to be nominated for an Oscar!

It is also the first domestic director’s work to be nominated for an Oscar!
It doesn’t even matter whether you win or not in the end. This is a ground-breaking feat, a breakthrough from zero to one, and progress from nothing!

This may also be the beginning of a prosperous age!
As the first person to try something new, the takeoff of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is predictable.

They knew that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" had a good reputation at the box office abroad, but they never expected that it would be nominated for an Oscar.

Previously, Li Guanghong believed that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" could not quench the thirst for nearness, because "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was not good enough.

But now, this is a breakthrough from quantitative change to qualitative change. From now on, everything is different!

Next, domestic audiences will surely rush into cinemas to watch this film that has accomplished a ground-breaking feat.

The large flow of people will not only boost the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but "Golden Heist" and "囧" will also be beneficiaries.

Of course, there is another beneficiary-Qianda!
At that time, Qianda's market share will definitely increase and it will no longer be suppressed by Penguin, and will once again show its strength to compete with Penguin.

Qianda Pictures' market value will return to normal levels, or even be boosted by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Qianda's debt crisis has still not been resolved, but now, Penguin is not the only one who wants to purchase shares in Qianda Pictures!

In the past, they were worried about Penguin's suppression and were afraid that they would lose their shares after acquiring the shares.

But now that Qianda has shown his value and his confidence that he is not afraid of penguins, those who wait and see will naturally end up!

They get 20 billion in cash and only need to pay 5% or even less shares.

Qianda Pictures, which has "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", will soon become popular.

Moreover, Penguin's own theater layout is far from enough. They are originally a loose alliance. Many other theaters just want to follow Penguin and take a piece of the pie after defeating Qianda.

Now that Qianda cannot be defeated, it is naturally their turn to defeat Qianda. The so-called alliance will cease to exist, and it is impossible to suppress Qianda anymore.

"So what we have to do now is to go back and improve the film schedule of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!"

Soon, Qianda's senior executives reacted, and one by one they couldn't wait to take out their mobile phones and start planning.

"It's true that the tiger father has no dog son!"

In the car in front of Li Guanghong and Aunt Huang, representatives of Qianda's board of directors were sitting. One director couldn't help but praise them.

Wang Jiushao rolled his eyes at the director. When he came, he complained that Feng Xiaogan should be invited. It seemed that he was also the one.

……

Penguin Pictures, in the conference room.

Sun Huaizhong looked at Li Guanghong and his entourage who were really leaving, and his mind was a little confused. He didn't know what happened. Everything was obviously fine, so why did he suddenly stop signing if he said he didn't want to sign?
Isn't this too capricious?
Don’t they know the consequences of overdue debt?
Could it be that they have oppressed them too much and they would rather be broken into pieces than destroyed?
Can anyone tell me what happened?
Sun Huaizhong almost had a hundred thousand whys at this moment. Finally, he looked at Qin Qingmei, who was smiling bitterly in the conference room.

“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is nominated for an Oscar!”

Qin Qingmei's voice was a little bitter.

"Impossible, impossible..."

Sun Huaizhong forced out an ugly smile and looked at Qin Qingmei, "Are you lying to me?"

Oscar nomination?
This is not some pheasant award like the Golden Eagle Award. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy the Golden Eagle Award, not to mention the trophy.

But this is the Oscars!
How many guides in China study areas that they cannot touch in their lifetime.

He is as highly respected as emo, and has made so many excellent films that have received rave reviews domestically, and is even famous internationally. Even such a director has no chance of winning an Oscar.

He is as powerful as Brother Chen Kai and has such a strong family relationship. He spent huge sums of money to shoot an epic fantasy blockbuster just to win the Oscar, but no one even gave him a second glance.

There are also Wong Kar-wai, Johnnie To, John Woo...

There are countless famous directors who cannot even get a nomination.

Now you tell me, a little guy who has just turned 22 years old, has only been filming for more than a year, and his first movie was nominated for an Oscar. Sun Huaizhong felt that this was challenging his world view.

"The official website of the Oscar Awards Committee has released the list!" Qin Qingmei could understand Sun Huaizhong's mood at this time. She had the same mood when she first got the news.

Just a simple sentence made Sun Huaizhong feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His body was a little weak and he slumped down on the leather chair in the conference room.

He understands what this means.I finally understood what Li Guanghong meant when he looked at him before leaving.

At this moment, regret was biting his heart like thousands of insects and ants.

He wanted to scratch his ears. Why did he propose to pay in installments and ask for more benefits from Qianda?

If there were no further delays, the two parties might have signed the contract long ago.

If after the contract is signed and the news comes that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been nominated for an Oscar, I will be the one who is ecstatic.

All of this was defeated by his own greed.

regret!
He regrets it!
……

“What, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film?”

In Brother Chen Kai's mansion in Beijing, his eyes widened when he heard the news. Fortunately, he was sitting on the sofa, otherwise he might have fallen to the ground.

Even though he trusted Chen Hong, he still went to the official Oscar website for the news. It wasn't until he saw the name of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on the nomination list that he collapsed on the sofa as if he had lost all his strength. superior.

Mixed flavors.

He didn't know how to describe his current mood.

I have been a director for decades, and I have tried countless times to compete for that award, but I have not even touched the threshold.

But a young man who was severely criticized by himself and even wanted to be banned was nominated for his first movie.

irony!

Naked irony!

He felt as if there were countless slaps on his face at this time.

He didn't need to search the Internet to find out. Now netizens must be taking him as amusement and watching his jokes.

Thinking about what I said in that competition, it was really ridiculous!

"We don't need to pay too much attention to it. It's not like you don't know the urine of those people in the beautiful country. They like to strike a balance. It seems that they are fair and just, so they nominated "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"."

Chen Hong has been following Brother Chen Kai for so many years. Of course she understands her husband's complicated mood at this time and comforted her by saying, "It's useless even if they are nominated. They don't share the final award. They are just tools to accompany them. They are just As luck would have it, I happened to need a film to be nominated."

Brother Chen Kai has always wanted to win the Oscar. Naturally, he also understands the rules of the Oscar. He knows that what Chen Hong said is right, but it is also wrong.

People in beautiful countries do like to play this trick, but why is it not "The King of Kung Fu" or "The Great Wall" that is nominated?

But he quickly cheered up, and the flame that had been extinguished in his heart burned again.

A kid can be nominated, so there's no reason why he can't!
……

Hengdian, in a hotel, I returned to the hotel after a day of emo shooting. After taking a shower, I sat down on the sofa, took out my phone, and checked today's news.

Yes, the New Year has just ended, and even "The Great Wall" is still in theaters, he has already started filming a new movie.

Among the famous directors in China, he is definitely one of the most prolific.

And he doesn't care about "The Great Wall". Although he directed this movie, he didn't have the final say during the filming or the final editing. For such a movie, he can only have feelings for it. Weird.

Suddenly, a message caught his attention.

“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!”

Emo's upper body leaned forward slightly, and his eyes were closer to the phone. After looking at it for a while, he sighed softly. Emo was really a bit emo.

Regarding this award, although he said he didn't care, and even said in public that the Oscar judges have no discernment, it is just a group of retired old men amusing themselves.

But he still has obsessions in his heart.

That is the most shining award in the Blue Star film industry. As a director, how could he really not care.

Otherwise, he would not have agreed to Hollywood's invitation to film "The Great Wall." He wanted to use the power of the beautiful Chinese plutocrats to help him win the Oscar.

It's a pity that in the end it was just a piece of chicken feathers.

His road to the Oscar is still long and arduous.

Unexpectedly, rising stars have emerged.

I hope he won't be fooled by those Hollywood scammers!
After silently instructing this junior, he stopped paying attention to this matter.

……

【The coolest actor in the world】

Under the eye-catching headline in the Los Angeles Times is a photo of an actor. There is no doubt that this person is Zou Runfa!
He is Xu Wenqiang from Shanghai!
He is a hero in his own right!

He is the invincible god of gambling!
He is the elegant Li Mubai!
He's a cross between James Bond and Clint Eastwood.

His performance is natural and natural, as if it comes from instinct. As long as he goes there, he will immediately become the embodiment of millions of people's dreams.

His stalwart figure, handsome and masculine appearance, and rugged and bold personality give him a true kingly aura!
Seeing this, Li Lianjie raised her hand to draw out the report.

Take a deep breath and let it out slowly.

As a martial arts practitioner, he also practiced both internally and externally.

After breathing it out a few times, he calmed down.

Seeing the praise that Zou Runfa has received in the West, it is impossible not to be jealous. Although this is also due to Zou Runfa's many years of hard work in the international arena, in the final analysis, it is still because of the Oscar nomination for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Otherwise, the Los Angeles Times would not mention a Chinese actor without any reason and still have so many complimentary words.

Originally, these things should be his.

Su You originally invited him to play the role of Li Mubai.

But he refused Su You's invitation for the sake of "The King of Kung Fu".

Who would have thought that "Kung Fu King", which he had high hopes for, would receive rave reviews in both the East and the West. A so-called famous Hollywood director would produce such a thing. It was foreseeable that he and Cheng Long would There will probably never be another cooperation in this life.

The only time the two collaborated, they actually produced such a thing. Every time everyone mentions him and Cheng Long in the future, they will probably think of this bad movie.

It was like a thorn in his heart.

What he didn't expect even more was that another film he rejected turned out to be a huge success. In just over three weeks, it took over [-] million U.S. dollars at the box office in the beautiful country.

This is already the highest box office in North America in the history of Chinese-language films, and it is still nearly 2 million dollars more than the No. 5000 "Hero"!
What he didn't expect was that not only was it a critical success at the box office, it was even nominated for an Oscar.

Li Lianjie was silent.

Although no one could have imagined such a result, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his choice at the time.

However, he is still unwilling to give in!
