Chapter 655 Returning to the Film Crew (44)

When a person achieves some success, especially internationally!
So-called national pride can override reason; whether you like it or not, you'll look for related news and discuss it with others.

When "Black Coal, Thin Ice" won the Golden Bear, a bunch of people came out pretending to be fans of Diao Yinan...

Diao Yinan has no fans whatsoever!
His films are very niche, and can basically be summarized in one set of words: small town, crime, chase and escape...

Before "Black Coal, Thin Ice," he had two other works: "Uniform" and "Night Train."

He was not a graduate of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, but rather the drama literature department of the Central Academy of Drama. After graduation, he first worked on avant-garde plays, and then entered the film industry as a screenwriter, only starting to make films after the new millennium.

His first work, "Uniform," was released in 03!

Moreover, it didn't win any awards, and it wasn't considered particularly explicit, so even selling pirated copies wasn't easy...

What kind of movie fans are these...?

Shen Yan is different; he's already a top-tier celebrity…

The kind that has a very high level of popularity among the people!

Moreover, given the current level of exposure in the entertainment industry during the mobile internet era, very few people don't know Shen Yan, and even fewer don't know he won a Golden Globe Award…

As a result, Shen Yan gained a bunch of long-time fans—or rather, movie fans!
There are more posts analyzing "Burning" now...

Even the Douban rating for "Burning" rose from 8.1 to 8.3!
Then, the Oscar nominations were announced, and *Burning* received five nominations, including Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Cinematography, and Best Picture!

That's right, a Best Picture nomination!
This time, many veteran filmmakers began to praise Shen Yan…

The main focus was on "I See You Have Talent," with Li Lianhua praising it first: "My brother's film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film..."

Then Feng Xiaogang talked about his feelings about watching "Burning": "The first time I watched it, I thought it was just a suspenseful murder movie... Later, I always felt that something was wrong, so I kept thinking about this movie and watched it again... There are very few movies that I can watch twice!"

Jackie Chan then asked, "What kind of movie is 'Burning'?"

"An award-winning drama film, directed by Shen Yan, previously won the Golden Lion, Best Director, and Best Actor awards at the Venice Film Festival, and recently won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film... A few days ago, the Oscar nominations were announced, and 'Burning' received five nominations, including Best Director and Best Picture!"

"so smart?"

"Um…"

Oh, "I See You Have Talent" is just riding the wave of popularity; it seems they'll be inviting guest mentors starting from the semi-finals...

Li Lianhua is probably eyeing Shen Yan!
Zhejiang TV and Dragon TV are overjoyed, "Legend of Fei" is about to air...

Then Shen Yan won an international award!

This is a huge boost for "Legend of Fei"!
……

Upon returning to Changsha, Shen Yan immediately went to the set of "Major Events in Life"...

I canceled my leave, and then spent the whole afternoon taking photos…

It's a scene where they're arguing!
Third Sister has a terrible temper. She argues with almost everyone she meets, and she's always cursing and swearing.

He argued with six- or seven-year-old Xiaowen, argued with his seventy- or eighty-year-old father, argued with his ex-girlfriend who cheated on him, argued with the owner of the wedding shop next door, argued with Xiaowen's wicked aunt, argued with Xiaowen's promiscuous mother, and argued with his arrogant ex-brother-in-law...

That's good. At least the third sister doesn't discriminate based on age or gender, and she can argue with anyone.

Oh, after filming wrapped up, Han Yan found him and asked him to tell Wan Qian.

Shen Yan was a little confused: "What did you say?"

"It's about the plot!"

"...Oh, it's the plot of our movie!" Shen Yan realized, and immediately went to Wan Qian to ask her what she didn't understand...

Wan Qian is from Hunan, so she and Shen Yan are from the same hometown! "Xiao Wen's mother, she started working in society when she was a teenager, gave birth to Xiao Wen at 19, committed a crime abroad and went to prison. Xiao Wen's maternal grandmother and uncle thought she was dead. They just casually brought home a complete stranger. Are they treating her as an employee or a wife? It's a complete mess. At least they need to find out what she did wrong, right?"

Wan Qian was just not entirely satisfied with the ending of "Major Events in Life," specifically the part where the third sister took in Xiao Wen's mother...

"No, you have to think of it this way: if no woman appears, how will Xiaowen, who has grown into a beautiful young woman, get along with the bachelor Mo Sanmei? Will they still be father and daughter? Besides, the funeral industry is associated with yin energy, and there's a saying that widows, widowers, orphans, or disabled people are involved. No matter what, Xiaowen's mother is the best solution!"

"This is so melodramatic!"

"So, we're not filming, we're just inviting her to join us in going to heaven..."

"All right!"

Then Wan Qian asked, "Where's the Golden Globe trophy?"

"I sent it home..."

"How does it feel?"

Didn't you watch the awards ceremony?

"...watched for a while..."

Shen Yan waved his hand: "It's pretty boring. The North American film industry doesn't care about people like us at all!"

Wan Qian asked curiously, "...Don't they care about you? I heard that many Hollywood blockbusters have wanted to cast you!"

“They won’t give me the lead role… They either cast me as a scientist or a minor character in the lead role… There’s not much room for me to develop my character,” Shen Yan paused, then added, “And the pay is very low!”

"...That's true, even Chow Yun-fat couldn't get major roles in Hollywood!"

"Alright, I'm going now..."

"Huh? Where are you going? We promised to celebrate your success!"

"No need, I need to go back and rest. I've been flying for several days, I need to rest!"

……

"The Golden Globe Award trophy is quite valuable. The main body is made of pure gold and weighs about five pounds... The base is made of marble, which accounts for at least one-third of the weight!"
The Golden Lion trophy is gold-plated...but the design is beautiful, and the craftsmanship is of high value!

After declining the celebration, Shen Yan returned to his room and started a live stream.

"The most valuable trophy is definitely the World Cup trophy..."

"Movie trophies... Oscar trophies aren't worth much. They're pure gold-plated alloy trophies; despite their glamorous appearance, their actual value isn't high. They're meticulously crafted from a tin and ammonium alloy, polished, covered with 10K gold leaf, finely polished again, and finally coated with 24K gold leaf. The cost is only about $350. Adding labor costs, the entire trophy is worth around $400..."

"The most valuable item is the Golden Bear trophy, made of alloy material, with a gold content of 12% and a silver content of 32%, costing as much as 65 RMB!"

"Where am I supposed to get the Golden Bear? 'La La Land' is already slated to be the opening film for this year's Venice Film Festival!"

"...No, do you think I wouldn't get film festival invitations if I were making an award-winning film? I just broke the record at the Venice Film Festival, so my films are getting invitations from film festivals all over the world!"

"La La Land...it's hard to say, but I'll do my best!"

"If I don't go to Hollywood, the Chinese film market is about to surpass North America. Why would I go to America at this time? Wouldn't I be completely crazy?!"

"Filming for 'Life's Big Events' will probably wrap up in about two weeks, and then I'll be joining the cast of 'Operation Mekong'... a movie directed by Wu Jing!"

"The Martian will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and advance tickets have already started. If you want to buy cheap movie tickets, I'll get an insider link from them and post it in the comments..."

Seeing a bunch of fans in the comments section saying "want," Shen Yan nodded: "I'm sure I can get a cheap price... I'll ask for 100 million tickets first!"
