Chapter 437 Money Money Money Money

The fact that "Slumdog Millionaire" won an Oscar really satisfied the old men in the American Academy of Sciences' curiosity about third world countries and the Americans' sense of superiority.

In 08, this movie went to many film festivals but didn't win anything. People in and outside the industry didn't think that this movie could win any awards. However, in 09, it unexpectedly won the Golden Globe and Academy Awards.

However, this year's Golden Globe Awards and Oscars have one more movie, "The Wolf of Wall Street". Although "Slumdog Millionaire" certainly suits the appetite of those old men in the American Academy, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is more appropriate.

The movie premiere was not grand, and there was a buffet-style dinner after the premiere.

During the dinner, some Hollywood filmmakers took the opportunity to chat with Wang Shu.

By this point in time, many people in Hollywood had already gained a general understanding of the content of "The Wolf of Wall Street", and they were all quite confused.

The impact of the financial crisis is still ongoing, and this issue is the hottest topic in the United States.

During this period, a movie suitable for the occasion will be released in theaters.

Is it such a coincidence?
Not only are these people confused, but the old guys at the American Film Academy are also confused.

The financial crisis is reported every day on television and the Internet. Everyone knows that the United States has once again suffered a huge financial storm.

The crisis has not yet subsided, but a movie about Wall Street has appeared.
And it's a movie with such disturbing content!!!

Under normal circumstances, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is based on the life of real-life Wall Street tycoon Jordan Belfort, and his life can definitely be described by the four words "extravagant and lustful".

Such a movie is destined to have no chance of winning an Oscar.

Because the ideas promoted by the Academy Awards are always positive, films favored by the Oscars need to make viewers "want to become better people."

This is zz correct.

Only those who meet these requirements are eligible for the award.
The Wolf of Wall Street, on the other hand, is just the opposite, throwing the ugliness of human nature bluntly in the audience's face.

This is not in line with the Oscars' zz correctness.

It's impossible to be nominated but win the award.

But this is normal.

Nowadays, the release time of "The Wolf of Wall Street" coincides with the outbreak of the global financial crisis.

People in the United States and around the world who have been affected by the financial crisis need to vent their emotions.

The emergence of "The Wolf of Wall Street" provided a direction for catharsis.

If a work is created to suit the occasion and has a big enough impact, it may win an award even if it does not conform to the traditional political correctness of the Academy Awards.

"Shu, I heard that the zombie movie you shot in China achieved very good box office results?" Matt Damon walked to Wang Shu with a glass of wine and gestured.

He knew what Wang Shu was going to do when he returned to China and was paying attention to it.

Admittedly, the box office of "Travel to Taipei" in China is not even a fraction of that of many Hollywood films.

However, the two markets are different and cannot be generalized.

Matt Damon knows that although the box office performance of "Travel to Taipei" is nothing compared to Hollywood movies, it is one of the top-grossing movies in China.

This is enough to show how powerful Wang Shu is.

He never imagined that zombie movies would have a market in China, and a pretty good market at that.

Matt Damon has already predicted that from now on, there will definitely be many Hollywood zombie movies that want to enter the Chinese market.

It’s just that the system for introducing foreign-language films in mainland China restricts the entry of Hollywood films.

From Hollywood's perspective, they naturally hope that all Hollywood movies can enter the Chinese mainland market.

However, it is different from the perspective of domestic entertainment.

If Hollywood movies are allowed to enter the mainland market, the diversity of Hollywood movies will inevitably defeat domestic entertainment.

Therefore, we must never allow Hollywood movies to enter the mainland market at will.

However, if Hollywood is completely prevented from entering the mainland market, the poor performance of domestic entertainment will be completely unable to stimulate market growth, and without the influx of foreign language films, mainland Chinese films will only continue to perform poorly in the comfortable environment.

The best option is to introduce and restrict at the same time.

"Not bad." Wang Shu responded politely.

Matt Damon smiled and then asked, "How much do you think our movie The Wolf of Wall Street will make?"

Wang Shu did not answer the question directly, but smiled and said: "The box office performance depends on the strength of the publicity."

“If the publicity is done properly, I believe many people will be interested in this film.”

"The Wolf of Wall Street" is a work that was made in response to the financial crisis. As long as it is promoted properly, it can attract many people to go to the cinema even if they just want to see the novelty or the excitement.

Because we are in the midst of a financial crisis!
"I think so too." Matt Damon laughed.

Promotion and marketing cost money. Although Wang Shu made a movie that grossed $5 million worldwide, that was a remake that Wang Shu directed.

Today, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is not only an award-winning film, but also directed by Wang Shu, a Chinese film director.

Therefore, although investors invest money, they dare not go too far in case they lose all their money.

There was publicity for The Wolf of Wall Street, but the intensity was not strong.

Wang Shu doesn't care about this.

Because the box office of the movie has nothing to do with him, he has no right to share the profits.

"Compared to the movie's box office, I am more concerned about the upcoming Golden Globe Awards and Oscars," Wang Shu said with a smile.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" was a timely work during the financial crisis and was also Wang Shu's best chance to win an Oscar before he turned 35.

If he doesn't win the award this time, he will have to stay in Hollywood for at least ten years before he has a chance to win another award.

As one of the four major film awards in the world, the Oscars are not like the Golden Rooster and Huabiao awards in China, where as long as you have the right connections, you can win the award even if you are young and have poor professional skills.

To win the Academy Awards, one must have sufficient professional skills and experience to achieve the required level of performance.

Especially men, some are even more exhausted.

Wang Shu is only in his early 20s, so if he fails to win the award this time, he will have to wait.

And if he wins the award this time and sets a new precedent, then even if he is young, there is a great possibility that he will continue to win awards in the future.

Otherwise, endure!

"Haha, to be honest, this is what I care about the most." Matt Damon laughed.

He is already a popular Hollywood star and is worth a lot of money.

The purpose of filming "The Wolf of Wall Street" was to win awards.

For him, there are plenty of opportunities to make money, but the chance to win an award is rare.

This is the voice of every popular Hollywood actor.

After that, he patted Wang Shu on the shoulder and gloated, "Compared to you, I think I have a better chance of winning the award."

"After all, I have been in Hollywood for many years."

“And you’re just new here”

"The academy usually doesn't give awards to 'newcomers'." Wang Shu laughed and said, "The Wolf of Wall Street was a movie that was released during the financial crisis."

"Both the Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards happen to fall within the same time period."

"You've seen the movie. It's not bad."

"So if I don't win anything this time, it will definitely be a mark in the history of the Academy Awards."

"If the Academy doesn't consider these things and doesn't care about the reputation of the Academy Awards, then they can indeed not give me the award."

When Matt Damon heard this, he immediately gave Wang Shu a thumbs up.

He knew in his heart that The Wolf of Wall Street, directed by Wang Shu, was indeed an excellent film.

With this film being entered into the Oscar race, it is bound to put the Academy on the spot.

Under normal circumstances, whether it is the content of "The Wolf of Wall Street" or other factors, it is impossible for Wang Shu to win the award.

But this is normal.

We are currently in the midst of a financial crisis, which is an abnormal situation.

Matt Damon knew that if "The Wolf of Wall Street" was nominated, it would be unnatural for the Academy to give the award, but it would also be unreasonable not to give the award.

Embarrassed.

After the dinner, Wang Shu returned to the apartment, and Stone Sister came back with him.

Stone has a boyfriend. From the perspective of public order and morality, she should not come to Wang Shu’s apartment so late at night.

But this is America.

It is common for both men and women to have sex with other people while in a relationship.

It is said that art comes from life. The chaotic relationships between men and women in many American film and television works are derived from life.

For example, when a man and a woman are in love, it is very common for the woman to secretly sleep with the man's friend, or for the man to secretly sleep with the woman's best friend.

Therefore, when Stone followed Wang Shu into his apartment late at night, she did not feel any psychological pressure of being unfaithful to her boyfriend.

Anyway, as long as the other party doesn’t know it, it’ll be fine.

Moreover, even if the other party knew about it, it wouldn't be a big problem.

The worst thing is, they will break up in one fell swoop.

The two drank at the dinner party and hugged each other as soon as they returned to the apartment.

then
I’m a fan of Stone Sister.

Even in her 30s, she still has some pink in her hair.

However, if it was Stone Sister who was in her 30s, then Wang Shu would definitely be a gentleman who could remain calm in the face of temptation.

The Stone Sister in her teens and twenties was completely different from the Stone Sister in her 30s.

Stone Sister is in her teens and twenties, with a bit of baby fat on her face, and she is really beautiful.

But when I was around 30 years old, the flesh on my face was gone.

Without the baby fat, Stone's appearance has plummeted.

Of course, this is a common problem among European and American actresses.

But there are some exceptions.

For example, actresses such as Sophie Marceau, Nicole Kidman, and Monica Bellucci take better care of themselves.

Of course, the most important thing is the effect of technology.

Even though actresses like Sophie Marceau, Nicole Kidman, and Monica Bellucci are all over 40, they all have very good looks and figures.

Of course, after all, her age is there, and it is impossible for her to be as energetic as young girls.

However, the corresponding one is mature charm.

Another example is Nicole Kidman, she is very good at making men's hearts flutter through her expressions and gestures.

As "The Wolf of Wall Street" landed in American theaters, corresponding ratings and reviews appeared on IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.

IMDb is the Internet Movie Database.

Of course, IMDb is not just a database of movies and video games, it also provides daily updated film and television news, as well as special reports for different film events such as the Oscars.

IMDb's forums are also very active, with message boards for each database entry as well as various general discussion boards on a variety of topics.

The most popular feature of IMDb is the TOP250, which lists the 250 best films of all time as voted by registered users.

Only films intended for theatrical broadcast are eligible for the competition, excluding short films, documentaries, miniseries and television movies.

Users rate the film on a scale from "1" (lowest) to "10" (highest), and the scores are filtered through a mathematical formula (listed at the end of the list) to produce the final rating.

Correspondingly, there is also a list of the 100 worst films.

As for Rotten Tomatoes, good reviews are given red tomatoes and bad reviews are given green tomatoes.

And on Rotten Tomatoes, there are already quite a few reviews.

such as
“Money money money money money money money money money I have money money money money money money money money money money money money money money…”

"Isn't this movie too straightforward? Fuck whenever you want, have sex whenever you want, yachts and sports cars, spend lavishly and show off."

"Every scene is a naked insult to the fishing line."

“And it’s all true.”

"THIS IS HOW THAT VAMPIRE SHIT DOES ON WALL STREET!!!"

"Hahaha Wall Street. No matter where you are, no matter what you claim to believe in, money is your most trustworthy friend. Claiming that money is harmful is like claiming that you are an idiot. Stay as far away from such people as possible."

"Show off the colorful bills and a bunch of people will rush to serve you. Private fleets are not a problem, private troops are not a problem, and women are even less of a problem. Even the most depraved and shameless sexual fantasies will be fulfilled by people."

"Which celebrity do you want to fuck? No problem, just order from the TV and call the agent! Are you hesitant to come out? Pay more! All you have to do is book a room, and shipping is free!"

"As long as you have money, all the beauties in the country will cry and be willing to sell themselves to you!"

"It's a good thing to splurge. If you don't splurge, Hermès will be sold to beggars. Ferrari and Lamborghini will go bankrupt in a minute."

"If you don't spend lavishly and don't stimulate the economy, and you eat instant noodles every day, how can the economy develop?"

"The most meaningful thing for a man is to make money. Without money, all other dreams are meaningless. The sooner you understand this, the better."

"Matt has already told us that dealing with money is the fastest way to make money. No matter how good you are at moving bricks, you are just a foreman. Others are moving money directly!"

"The most meaningful thing for a woman is to be fucked by rich men. If she doesn't let rich men fuck her, how can she make money? If she doesn't make money, how can she do beauty treatments and hairdressing and body shaping to let richer men fuck her? Do you see? This is a virtuous cycle."

"How much bodily fluid has condensed on that little Perkin bag?"

"Remember, the value of women depends on the value of the men who fuck them. Don't waste time on fishing lines! Tell them openly that I just love money. If you don't have money, get out!"

"By the way, this ending is really annoying! Don't the worst villains in the world live long and healthy lives? How can someone who has the intelligence to make money hide his money without the intelligence? Is it to balance the psychology of the fishermen?"
