China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 615: Pacific Rim

The premiere of "Pacific Rim" has not yet begun, but the Internet is already boiling with excitement.

Yesterday, Zhang Weiping blasted China Film Group, Han Sanping and Wang Shu.

Most netizens are happy to see Zhang Weiping's attacks on China Film Group and Han Sanping.

But he was very unhappy about Zhang Weiping's attack on Wang Shu.

Everyone in and out of the circle knows that Wang Shu is easy-going, humble, down-to-earth, and a pure-hearted warrior of love.
Since his debut, he has not only been busy with work, but also very low-key.

All in all, this is a person with whom there is nothing to fault.

Such people have always been looked down upon and excluded because they come from rural areas and are not academic.

At that time, some people from both the Film Association and the Directors Association expressed their unwillingness to accept him into the association.

As he said, "I am not like some people who were born in Rome and see poetry and distant places when they open their eyes.", "For me, while seizing every opportunity, I also need to work hard and move forward down to earth.", "Only in this way can I go further."

Wang Shu has come this far thanks to his talent and ability, as well as his hard work and struggle.

Now, facing Zhang Weiping’s bombardment, no one dares to respond excessively.

As for why they dare not, everyone knows it.

Wang Shu comes from the countryside and has only been in the industry for a few years, so his social connections and other relationships are relatively weak.

In short, it’s a lack of foundation!

Wang Shu could certainly respond to Zhang Weiping in an extreme manner.

But what happens next?

There will definitely be many people inside and outside the circle who think that he is arrogant and domineering at such a young age.

They have always been targeted and excluded, and after this, they are being targeted and excluded to the extreme!
So much so that someone above started to knock on it!
It is undeniable that at worst Wang Shu could end up in Hollywood.

But it's really not worth traveling across the ocean like this.

In short, because of Wang Shu's long-standing personality as a guarantee, many netizens have a 360-degree imagination of why Wang Shu is so timid...

When it comes to making movies, Wang Shu has always struck out hard, writing and directing high-quality films to entertain the public.

But in the entertainment industry, even a director as talented as Wang Shu can only obey orders in the face of heavy blows from people in the industry just because he comes from a rural background and is not from an academic background.

Both are filmmakers.

As a filmmaker, Wang Shu has always been committed to making excellent films.

On the other hand, as a filmmaker, he didn't think about making excellent movies, but kept thinking about striking a heavy blow at Wang Shu.

Everything is afraid of comparison. After comparing the two, 9% of people on the Internet are standing up for Wang Shu.

As for the other 1%, these people will blacken Wang Shu no matter what he does.

After all, human beings are a complex group, and the joys and sorrows of each person are not entirely the same.

There are always some weird groups.

For example, the bride price.

Some people support abolishing the bad custom of bride price, while others are unwilling to do so.

As these topics fermented on the Internet, the premiere of "Pacific Rim" in Beijing officially began.

As a co-production and the first domestic monster movie with huge investment, the premiere of Pacific Rim was extremely grand.
At the premiere, a long red carpet passage was set up, with one side filled with media reporters and onlookers.

Maybe because the media had a topic at the meeting, there were obviously more media reporters on the scene than at other blockbuster premieres.

The premiere was star-studded.

Many stars came to support the event, including Gong Li, Zhou Xun, Li Binbin, Fan Binbin, Sun Li, Yang Mi, Gao Yuanyuan, Liu Yan, Chen Hao, Yan Danchen, Jiang Wenli, Ning Jing, Zhao Liying, Li Xiaolu, Qin Lan, Deng Chao, Chen Kun, Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu, and Louis Koo.

So much so that the media reporters at the scene exclaimed that the starlight gathered by "Pacific Rim" was even brighter than the red carpet scene of the Golden Rooster Awards.

Some of the stars came because of Wang Shu's reputation.

Most of the stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan are because of Chen Long.

Some celebrities knew that the premiere of "Pacific Rim" was extremely grand, so they dressed up to attend to take advantage of the popularity.

There are also some stars who probably don’t have a chance.

"There aren't so many big-name stars at the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony, right?" A reporter couldn't help but complain to his companion next to him.

"No!" The companion said with certainty, "I've been to the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony. Apart from some nominees, there were few well-known movie stars."

"Compared to today, the starlight is more than a little dim?"

"It can be said that it has dimmed by more than half!"

"Look who's here today?"

"Gong Li, Zhou Xun, Li Binbin, and Fan Binbin among the four actresses and two actresses, as well as the popular Sun Li and Li Xiaolu, as well as Chen Hao, the former top actress of Orange Sky, and Jiang Wenli, the best actress at Cannes Film Festival."

"Although Ning Jing is not as popular as before, she is still a big sister-level figure."

"Even Gao Yuanyuan, Yang Mi and others are popular actresses."

"Not to mention, quite a few people came from Hong Kong Island."

"It's not like I haven't been to the red carpet for the Golden Rooster Awards before, but it can't compare to the premiere red carpet for Pacific Rim."

The reporter did not question this statement, but sighed: "I didn't expect that Director Wang has such a strong network of contacts in the circle."

"It's a pity that most of these people are actors and don't have much say in the film and television industry, otherwise Director Wang wouldn't be at a loss at noon."

Another reporter answered, "No way? You don't think that all these people here today are really Director Wang's connections, do you?"

"I can tell you responsibly that so many people came here today to show their support, all for the purpose of gaining Director Wang's favor so that they can work with him in the future."

"Other domestic directors don't take it so seriously because they all know that they won't get the role even if they do."

"But Director Wang is different. His Yikeshu Company has never been an artist agent."

"This shows that whenever he is filming a movie, he will definitely cast the actors from outside."

“Whoever can gain his favor will get the role.”

"So, these actors didn't choose Director Wang because of his connections, but because of the film resources that Director Wang controls."

"For example, Li Xiaolu, isn't she also trying to get into the film industry now?"

"I've never worked with Director Wang before, and I don't have any contact with him, but he came here today, didn't he?"

This was too true. Several reporters looked at each other and laughed.

At the same time, major portals also reported the latest news from the premiere of "Pacific Rim".

These news flashes are usually accompanied by pictures and brief texts of the scene, mainly to release relevant reports as soon as possible. Sina Entertainment: The premiere of "Pacific Rim" was star-studded, Gong Li, Zhou Xun, and many other stars appeared on the scene to support the movie!
Sohu Entertainment: The starlight at the premiere of "Pacific Rim" overshadowed the red carpet scene of the Golden Rooster Awards!
Tencent Entertainment: Gong Li, Zhou Xun, Li Binbin, Fan Binbin and other blockbuster stars attended the premiere of "Pacific Rim"!
Because these news flashes were accompanied by pictures, netizens actually saw the scene, which then sparked heated discussions.

The entertainment media in particular are very cunning. Just looking at the star-studded premiere of "Pacific Rim", they didn't think it was a big deal.

But when compared with the red carpet of the Golden Rooster Awards, it suddenly became a hot topic.

"Director Wang, you have such a great reputation. Look how many celebrities are here. Almost half of the famous actors in Beijing are here." Wang Changtian said this deliberately after seeing the star-studded scene.

He was also present at the media meeting at noon, and he was using this method specifically to comfort Wang Shu.

After that, he sighed again, "Oscar-winning directors are different. No one in the country can have such a big face."

"Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and others are not as prestigious as you."

When Wang Shu heard this, he said quietly, "Boss Wang, there is no need for the title of Oscar-winning director. As long as Guangguang does not manage artists, it will also select external actors. When Guangguang's movies are released, Boss Wang will give a call and it will be like today."

These words touched upon Wang Changtian's main concern, and he immediately let out an awkward laugh.

He also knew that the reason why so many artists came today was not only because Wang Shu was an Oscar-winning director, but also because Wang Shu was really casting for the show.

An Oscar-winning director is casting for a movie, which is a surefire way for actors, so naturally many actors will come.

Let me ask, which actor doesn’t want to be favored by Wang Shu and become the protagonist of a movie directed by Wang Shu?

Wang Changtian then chatted with Wang Shu for a few words, and then went to entertain the guests who came to show their support for his sake.

"Director Wang, long time no see."

After walking the red carpet, Li Binbin came to Wang Shu and greeted him with a smile.

"Haha, Sister Binbin, I haven't seen you for a while. You look more beautiful again." The first thing Wang Shu did when he saw Li Binbin was to praise her generously.

In interpersonal communication, nice words can often make people feel comfortable.

Li Binbin heard this and said with a smile: "Director Wang is still so good at talking."

After saying that, he blinked again and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"What's the matter?" Wang Shu asked back in confusion.

Li Binbin looked like he didn't consider me a friend but an outsider, and said softly, "What happened at noon has spread."

Wang Shu knew what she was asking, but he pretended not to know and replied calmly, "Nothing."

"Are you really okay?" Li Binbin was a little worried.

But she heard that Wang Shu was at a loss and almost cried when asked questions by reporters at noon.

Seeing Li Binbin's expression, Wang Shu had already guessed that what happened at noon might be due to a version update, and it was most likely that the rumor was a bit outrageous.

Too lazy to explain, he asked back, "Do I look like I'm in trouble?"

Li Binbin looked at Wang Shu seriously and said, "I can't tell."

She thought that it was the premiere of "Pacific Rim" and even if Wang Shu was unhappy, he would not show it.

Wang Shu was helpless when he saw this.

"Haha." Li Binbin thought Wang Shu didn't want to talk more about this topic, so he changed the subject and said, "Are you going to spend the New Year in China this year, or will you return to Los Angeles after the Pacific Rim issue is over?"

"Pacific Rim" will also be released in North America, and Wang Shu has signed up for the Oscars early next year. He was also criticized by Zhang Weiping, so Li Binbin thought that Wang Shu might stay in Hollywood to develop, so he asked this question.

Wang Shu's eyes fell on Li Binbin. Many female stars attended the event in their best attire today.

The same is true for Li Binbin, who wears a tight evening dress that shows her legs in the middle of winter.

Of course, I didn’t wear this outfit every time I went out.

Generally, people put on this outfit and then put on a long down jacket covering head to toe on the outside, and then take off the down jacket when they appear in front of the camera on the scene.

The two stood facing each other, and Wang Shu couldn't help but glance at Li Binbin's mediocrity. He said, "It's not confirmed yet. We have to wait until after attending the Oscars."

Li Binbin smiled and said jokingly, "You're going to Los Angeles this time, so you won't come back, right?"

"What? You can't bear to let it go?" Wang Shu also teased.

Li Binbin is not a shy little girl, she answered frankly: "Of course I can't bear to part with it!"

"Haha." Wang Shu smiled and said nothing more.

When Li Binbin saw this, he felt that his question had touched upon Wang Shu's heart.

Perhaps Wang Shu really had this idea, so he didn't elaborate on it.

Seeing that Wang Shu didn't want to talk anymore, he didn't ask any more questions, but changed the subject again and asked, "Are you confident that you can be nominated for an Oscar this time?"

"Of course!" Wang Shu responded without comment.

Without talking about the quality of "Life of Pi", it is impossible that it would not be shortlisted due to off-site factors.

Hearing this, Lin Binbin couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Are you so confident?"

Even though she had seen "Life of Pi", she knew that the quality of the movie was indeed very good.

However, at the beginning of the year, "The Wolf of Wall Street" successfully won the award because of its popularity.

She had heard a long time ago that many people in the American Film Academy did not want to give the award to "The Wolf of Wall Street".

It was only because of the overwhelming force that they had no choice but to award the golden statue to Wang Shu.

This time, it is very likely that they will hold a grudge and not allow Wang Shu to be shortlisted.

Wang Shu smiled and said, "If it were any other time, I might not have the confidence."

“But I am still confident that I will be able to attend the Oscars early next year.”

"Huh?" Li Binbin was surprised. This was completely different from what she thought and what her friends analyzed.

Most of Wang Shu’s friends think that it will be difficult for him to be nominated for an Oscar early next year.

Wang Shu himself is full of confidence
Wang Shu did not explain, but continued with a smile: "I can't explain it to you right away. Anyway, I can't guarantee that I will win the award, but I am still confident when I get to the scene."

When Li Binbin heard this, he became more confused.

Where does Wang Shu get his confidence from?
Is it because of "Life of Pi"?
Are you so naive?

"Life of Pi" is not "The Wolf of Wall Street". Judging from the quality of the film alone, "Life of Pi" is indeed qualified to be nominated.

Off-site factors.
That is the decisive factor!
Wang Shu saw Li Binbin's expression and almost guessed what he was thinking.

I really want to ask if this person is overcomplicating some issues?

Being nominated for an Oscar does not mean winning an Oscar.

There is a big difference between the two.
