Chapter 449: Not as Good as Chief Jia

"Shu, did Jill Nate invite you to direct "Life of Pi"? " Monica walked to Wang Shu and asked in a low voice.

Although Matt Damon had already said it before, she couldn't help but ask again.

"Yes." The meeting with Jill Nate just now was not private. Many people were watching, so there was no need for Wang Shu to hide it.

Facing Monica's hopeful gaze, Wang Shu asked, "Have you read this novel?"

"No." Monica shook her head. Although she had heard about Jill Netter's operation of "Life of Pi", she had never read the novel.

Wang Shu said softly: "I happened to have read a little bit of this novel before. It has an Indian protagonist."

There was no need to finish the words, a veteran actress like Monica instantly understood the meaning, and her eyes immediately turned from hopeful at the beginning to dim.

"Where are the supporting roles?" Monica looked at Wang Shu with some reluctance but hope.

Hearing this, Wang Shu smiled and said, "I'm not sure about that."

Then he added, "But if there is a suitable supporting role, I will notify you to audition."

Even though Monica didn't even mention it, Wang Shu agreed directly.

In fact, he knew that there was no role suitable for Monica in "Life of Pi".

In that case, why not just agree to it directly and do Monica a favor.

As expected, when Monica heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened and she gave Wang Shu a grateful smile: "Thank you."

After Monica said this, she saw someone else coming and immediately shut her mouth.

Wang Shu attended the dinner after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony here. At the same time, the American media reported that he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and that "The Wolf of Wall Street" won the Best Picture Award.

Once the incident was reported, it immediately aroused heated discussion among European and American netizens.

"What? A 22-year-old Chinese director won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, and the movie he made also won the Best Picture Award? Can anyone tell me what's going on?" someone was incredulous.

"Is there no one left in Hollywood? A 22-year-old young man from China defeated a bunch of famous Hollywood directors and won the Golden Globe Awards for Best Director and Best Screenplay? Is this funny?" someone mocked.

"Wow! Hollywood's darkest hour! A 22-year-old young Chinese director who just arrived in Hollywood won the Golden Globe Awards for Best Director and Best Screenplay. Can you believe it?" British netizens joked.

British netizens are all aware that British actors are being boycotted in Hollywood and are restricted from winning awards.

At this moment, he certainly did not miss the opportunity to tease.

Although Kate, who flirted with Leo, is a British actress, she even won the Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress awards at this year's Golden Globe Awards.

But even if Kate wins the award, it cannot deny the fact that Hollywood is boycotting British actors and restricting British actors from winning awards.

Except for a few actors with good professional abilities, most of the native American actors are just traffic actors and have little acting skills.

Therefore, acting awards are often taken away by British actors who come to Hollywood.

When the American forces in Hollywood saw that things were not going well, they restricted British actors.

During the American awards season, many acting awards should actually be given to more capable British actors, but due to bias, the acting awards were given to American actors.

Don’t be fooled by the awards some American actors have won, they are actually just fakes.

"Fuck, this is a movie directed by Wang Shu? How long has this guy been in the US? How can he see through the madness of the lower class people under the American dream? The last shot is very meaningful. This is what Edward Yang said in "Age of Independence", 'Everyone is waiting for you to trick him'! All kinds of connection and counterpoint techniques are so superb that I can't say anything. Wang Shu is awesome!" Chinese netizens in the US.

"The satire on the American money dream should have been obscure and unpopular, but Wang Shu told the story in a crazy tone that deviated from the theme, saying one thing and thinking another until the end of the carnival. He neither tarnished Belfort, who is still alive, nor deviated from the original intention of making this film. Coupled with the world-class editing, the spiritual core and the viewing experience are perfectly blended. He deserves the Golden Globe Awards for Best Director and Best Picture. Especially in the current financial crisis, he deserves them." Another Chinese netizen in the United States.

"Although this movie was made by a 22-year-old young director from China, I would say that the Golden Globe Awards for Best Director and Best Picture belong to him. I would say the same thing to anyone else." An American netizen.

"Let me tell you, this movie deserves more than just a Golden Globe Award, it should also win an Oscar. If the Oscar is not given to him, the organizer is shit." said an American netizen.

At this moment, not only is there a lot of discussion on the Internet, but the Hollywood film industry is also discussing it.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" has always been a hot topic because it was written in response to the financial crisis.

Now that this movie has won an award, many people were slightly stunned when they got the news, but were not too surprised.

The special nature of "The Wolf of Wall Street" in this period makes it eligible for the award.

Before this, many people didn’t think he could win the award, they just didn’t think Wang Shu could win the award.

Now Wang Shu won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director. Although it broke history, it is not incredible.

After all, this "The Wolf of Wall Street" is too appropriate for the occasion.
However, although I was not overly surprised, I was still amazed.

At the age of 22, the director from China, when he first arrived in Hollywood, he made a movie with a global box office of 5 million US dollars and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director.

I heard that before coming to Hollywood, he had already won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival.

How awesome!

Soon, the Hollywood film industry received another piece of news.

That is. Jill Nett invited Wang Shu, who was going to direct "Life of Pi".

Many people in the Hollywood film industry know that the script of "Life of Pi" has been handled by many well-known directors, but all of them declined.

Now that Wang Shu is going to direct, he is shocked.

Although Wang Shu is the new Golden Globe Best Director winner, "Life of Pi" is ultimately a script that many well-known directors dare not tackle.

Jill Nett actually invited Wang Shu to direct such a difficult thing?
And Wang Shu actually dared to agree to this matter?
The former has a bump on his head?
Where does the latter get the courage?

This is no small matter and instantly sparked heated discussions in Hollywood.

After the dinner, Wang Shu returned to the apartment, accompanied by Stone Sister.

During the dinner, Christine looked at Wang Shu eagerly from time to time. It was obvious that she had something to say, but she never had the right opportunity.

After the dinner, she needed to go home and could not go to Wang Shu's apartment with him.

Kristen is different from Stone. Stone came to Hollywood when she was a teenager and lives on her own.

Christine lives with her mother and has not yet moved out to live on her own.

So she needs to go home at night unless there is a good reason.

"I'll have to wait until next time." Christine went home alone, feeling a little depressed.

She is now a popular Twilight Girl. She has popularity but no major awards.

Plus, she had been working in the field of art films, but there had been no improvement.

Therefore, she really wanted Wang Shu to give her a push and win a big prize.

She is now a popular star. She has no shortage of popularity and fame, but she lacks awards.

She had acted in many art films but never made any progress. Now she understood that it was useless to act in more messy art films. On the contrary, if she could work with a powerful director, she would have a greater chance of winning an award.

She feels that it is difficult for her to approach other big directors.

Wang Shu is the hope before us.

domestic.

Media websites such as Tencent, Sina, Sohu, NetEase, and Baidu have also reported on Wang Shu winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and "The Wolf of Wall Street" winning the Best Picture Award.

Sina: "Wang Shu, 22-year-old Golden Globe Best Director, Best Picture for The Wolf of Wall Street."

Tencent: "Historic moment, 22-year-old Golden Globe Award-winning director, Wang Shu."

Sohu: "Wang Shu made history by winning the Best Director Award at the Golden Globe Awards for American Television and Film, and The Wolf of Wall Street won the Best Picture Award."

NetEase: "Wang Shu is the first mainland director to win the Best Director Award at the American Television Film Golden Globe Awards."

There is a 13-hour difference between the Eastern Time in the United States and the Eastern Time in China. Night in the United States is day in China.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held in the evening, so Wang Shu received the award in the evening in the United States and during the day in China.

At this moment, all major forums are bustling with heated discussions.

He is the first mainland director to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Director in Hollywood, and the film he directed also won the Best Picture Award.

Moreover, the director is only 22 years old.

"Hei Shu is talking? Why don't you talk? Didn't you say with certainty that Wang Shu couldn't possibly win the Golden Globe? Didn't you say that if Wang Shu could win the award, he would eat shit? Why don't you come out and fart?"

A hot post appeared on Tianya. The poster was not a fan of Wang Shu, nor was he speaking for Wang Shu. Instead, he was adding fuel to the fire.

"Haha, a while ago many people said that Wang Shu would eat shit if he won the Golden Globe Award. Today I am waiting for the big guys to eat shit!"

"Damn, this is the first Golden Globe Award-winning director from mainland China. From now on, we will never talk about 18-year-old young directors again. This guy is really talented."

"Alas, I still miss the time when everyone called someone an 18-year-old director. Now it's hard to call someone an 18-year-old young director."

"I hereby declare that Wang Shunai is the number one director in mainland China, and I will not accept any rebuttal."

"I won't accept any rebuttal, Jill. Wang Shu is the number one director in mainland China. Where did you put Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Section Chief Jia?"

"The one above, you said Zhang Yimou, I won't refute you, what the hell are Chen Kaige and Section Chief Jia?"

"I won't elaborate on Chen Kaige's bloody murder over a steamed bun. Those who understand will understand."

"And Chief Jia, are you really good at bragging?"

"I'm telling you, Chief Jia is trash."

"As for him, he is not even as good as Lou Ye and others."

Even though Chief Jia won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, he is actually just a "film businessman."

This so-called "film businessman" makes money by filming the dark side of China to cater to foreign countries.

He makes this type of film not for artistic purposes or to inspire reflection, but simply because this type of film sells well at film festivals, so he makes all kinds of films.

In addition, Hong Kong's famous director Wang Jin, who is known as the king of bad movies, openly looked down on Director Jia in an interview, and bluntly stated that Director Jia's filming skills as a director are not good enough.

In Wang Jin's eyes, Zhang Yimou is a capable director.

Chief Jia is just a piece of shit.

"Chief Jia is trash? I laughed. Do you know the Venice Golden Lion Award? An 18-year-old director only gets one Venice Film Festival Best Director Award, but Chief Jia has the Golden Lion Award. An 18-year-old director is not even worthy of carrying Chief Jia's shoes."

"Are you trying to say that an 18-year-old director has now won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director and the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture? What a joke! If it were the Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Picture, they would certainly be miles ahead of the Venice Film Festival."

"But the Golden Globe Award doesn't qualify."

In terms of international influence, the Ballon d'Or is not as good as the three major European awards, especially in this era.

When it comes to the Academy Awards, many people know about it.

When it comes to the American Television and Film Golden Globe Awards, they are not well-known except in Europe and the United States.

However, this does not mean that this award has no value, it just means that it is not as valuable as the Oscars.

In addition, it is only a domestic award in the United States, which is naturally inferior to the three major European awards.

In comparison, the Academy Awards are able to beat Berlin and Venice, and are on par with Cannes.

Of course, it’s just this era.

In the future, as the three major European awards become increasingly weaker, the most influential award will only be the American Oscars.

However, the Academy Awards are only the most influential, but their artistic quality remains to be discussed.

The Academy Awards is an American award and can only be competed for by films produced in the United States.

The three major European films are from all over the world. Participate in the competition.

The United States is undoubtedly the world's leader, but it is nonsense to say that the artistry of American films is higher than that of films around the world.

Furthermore, the Oscars are an American award that focuses on politics and business, while the three major European film festivals are open to the world with art as the highest indicator.

There is a difference between the two.

In an era when commercial films are becoming more and more mainstream, it is natural that the Oscars will surpass the three major European films.

For example, Zhang Yimou used to look down on commercial films.

Art films are the mainstream of the world, and the three European countries that take art as the highest indicator are naturally the most prestigious.

But times have changed.

Directors like Zhang Yimou, who looked down on commercial films, have been swept up in the trend and started making commercial films, not to mention that the Oscars are above the three major European awards.

However, it is now 2009, and while the Berlin Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival are on a downward spiral, the Cannes Film Festival is still quite relevant at this stage.

If the Cannes International Film Festival had not made any statement, Chen Kaige would not have been able to continue to be so arrogant.

Chen Kaige is truly a "talent".

This guy also puts on airs at home, acting like a master from the old times.

When his children sit at the table to eat, he needs to speak before they pick up their chopsticks.

Children must take whatever they are told to take and must not disobey.
