Entertainment: God-level director

Hearing someone calling him, Lin Ran looked up and found that the person calling him was Li Yu

“Director Li also arrived.”Lin Ran came forward and said hello with a smile.

“Director Li”

“Directed by Li Eucalyptus.”

Feng Yuanzheng and Tong Liya also greeted Li Yu.

Li Yu nodded to them and looked at Lin Ran:”I haven’t seen a local Chinese film shortlisted for many years, and it was also shortlisted for so many awards. I didn’t expect it to be you. What such a young director has achieved”

“Director Li deserves the award. Lin Ran smiled modestly.

“Are you nervous now? Li Jian asked

“More or less.”

Lin Ran nodded. To say he wasn’t nervous at all would be to deceive himself.

“Don’t be too nervous, at least for the best foreign language film, as far as I know many judges voted for”The Drummer”.

There is also the Best Supporting Actor, which almost swept the Outpost. Judging from the past Oscar results, Mr. Feng has a very high chance of winning the Best Supporting Actor award, otherwise he will not be able to convince the public.”

Li Yu analyzed.

The mainland’s Olympic craze was started by Lao Mouzi’s two consecutive film nominations in 1991 and 1992, but it really reached its peak when”Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

After he won the Best Foreign Language Film, Chinese people all over the world called him the light of the Chinese people.

He had experienced that kind of overnight popularity across the Taiwan Strait and three places.

And Lin Ran himself is a native Chinese, and”The Exploding Drummer” is also a A real Chinese-language film, Li Yin certainly knew how high the expectations for Lin Ran were from the government, the film industry, and ordinary people. With the expectations of countless people behind it, it was normal to be nervous.

We chatted for a few more times After saying something about the Oscar awards, Li Yu suddenly said:”Lin Ran, I have a notebook on hand. I wonder if your company is interested?”

“Um. Lin Ran was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of a movie in his mind.

He asked calmly:”What’s the theme?””

“The main story is that government agent Henry is about to retire, but finds himself being hunted by a clone 23 years younger than himself.……”

Li Yu introduced.

Sure enough, it’s the movie”Gemini Man”!

No wonder a great director like Li Yu wants to invest in himself

《The idea for the movie”Gemini Man” came about in the 1990s. It was inspired by sheep cloning, which was very popular at the time. It was a very good idea at the time.

But 20 years later, this idea has long been outdated.

At the same time, Li Yu also wanted to use this movie to test the new technology of 120 frames, and the budget reached 140 million US dollars!

A movie with outdated ideas, a clichéd plot, and requiring huge investment would never pass the green light system of a large company.

What’s more, Li Yu’s last movie”Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” only grossed US$30 million at the global box office, causing investors to vomit blood.

According to Hollywood’s usual practice, if the last big production made by a director or starring actor suffered a huge loss, the chance of getting another big production is very slim.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for Hollywood giants to invest.

Even if the director is a great director like Li Eucalyptus who has won several Oscars, it won’t work!

Hollywood has never been superstitious about the reputation of directors and actors. They only look at the performance of one or two recent works.

Therefore, Li Yu had no choice but to seek investment from those second- and third-tier companies, and even had the idea of domestic film and television companies. Now that he met Lin Ran, he took advantage of the situation and started investing.

“Director Li, you can send me the script when you get back and I will read it first.”

Lin Ran declined politely in this way.

“good.”Li Yu quickly agreed.

After chatting for a few more words, Li Yu separated from Lin Ran. He still wanted to find other investors.

“Lin Ran, if there is a suitable role for me in Director Li’s film, remember to recommend it to me.”

As soon as Li Yu left, Tong Liya said.

Obviously, in her opinion, Li Yu’s movie is definitely a big deal.

“I probably won’t invest.”Lin Ran shook his head.

“Why?”

Tong Liya and Feng Yuanzheng were both stunned.

This is Li Yu’s movie, why aren’t film companies rushing to invest?

“Li Yu submitted this script to several major Hollywood companies, but they were all rejected.

I also got the script from Universal and read it. It was a very average movie with no highlights.

Li Yu also wants to use this movie to continue experimenting with the new 120-frame technology. The investment will be very large, so there is a high probability that he will suffer huge losses in the end. Lin

Ran casually made an excuse and explained.

“I see.”Tong Liya suddenly realized.

She was chatting all the way into the theater. From time to time, directors or actors from Hollywood greeted Lin Ran, and Lin Ran stopped to chat briefly.

Watching Lin Ran and DiCaprio, Dwayne”The Rock” Johnson, Matt Hollywood superstars such as Damon and Tom Cruise were chatting and laughing, and many of the big-name stars in her eyes took the initiative to take photos with Lin Ran. Like fans, Tong Liya truly felt how high Lin Ran’s status is in the global film industry today..

This made her extremely proud and honored.

It also made her, Alexander, feel like an ugly duckling compared to Lin Ran.

By the time Lin Ran and the others arrived at their seats, more than half an hour had passed..

The seats at the Oscars are also divided into”three, six or nine”, and the first few rows are filled with nominated stars and heavyweight award guests.

Nominations are also divided into grades, and the best foreign language film is not as important as the best picture.

In addition to In the seats directly in front, ordinary celebrity guests sit in the back row of the main hall. Celebrities from non-entertainment circles are arranged on the second floor. Many executives from major Hollywood companies will also attend, and they will be arranged here.

《”Crackling Drummer” was nominated for eight awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Editing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Speaker Effects.

Together with”Birdman”, which was also nominated for 8 awards, it became the most nominated film this year. Even”Boyhood” was only nominated for 6 awards.

It can be said that”Crackling Drummer” is one of the big hits at this year’s Oscars.

Therefore, Lin Ran and the others were placed in the front and center seats.

“What is this bag on the seat?”

Seeing a small bag placed on the seat, Tong Liya asked curiously.
