Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

Chen Mubai's bold words really surprised Qin Qiu again.

This is too arrogant!

It is true to say so, if Chen Mubai really does it, he will indeed be able to give Oscar a certain amount of creativity.

It is far more difficult to win the best picture of the three major European film festivals at the same time than to win the best picture of the Oscar.

If Chen Mubai can really sweep the awards, it will indeed be the most beneficial response to the Oscars. Their behavior this time will be remembered forever, and it will also be a black spot that cannot be washed away.

After all, Chen Mubai was supposed to be the winner of this year's best picture, but he was hacked, which caused him to break with Oscar.

And he has won the best picture award at several other film festivals that are as well-known as the Oscars and even more professional, so the only Oscar that was not awarded to Chen Mubai will become very embarrassing.

You know, the judging standards of the three major European film festivals are different, but they are all strict.

Chen Mubai's ability to win the three major awards naturally shows his strength. How could he not be able to win an Oscar?

This is the typical embarrassment of missing someone.

"It's a bit too difficult for you."

After a while, Qin Qiu carved out such a sentence.

She didn't want to dampen Chen Mubai's enthusiasm, but it was really not easy.

If it wasn't Chen Mubai who said this, Qin Qiu would think that the other party was a lunatic if it were anyone else.

But just because it was Chen Mubai, it made her feel that it was either impossible or too difficult.

You must know that film has developed for more than two hundred years, and there is no one in history who can win the best film of the three major European film festivals at the same time!

How many people won the Best Actor (Queen of Best Actress) and how many people won the Best Director. There are only 8 people in total.

This difficulty is already very high, the best picture is the biggest award, far more difficult to win than the best director and best actor.

If Chen Mubai can win the best film of the three film festivals, he is well-deserved as the number one person in the film industry!

This refers to the awards, box office and awards are calculated separately.

Directors who can leave box office records in film history are also famous directors. There will be no unknown directors. They may not have won many awards, but they have also won these famous awards. It's just that after becoming famous, they no longer indulge in awards, but Is addicted to the box office.

"It's really rare, but it's not impossible."

Tao Yaoyao pursed her lips: "You have already won the grand prize at the Venice Film Festival, and you are still short of Berlin and Cannes. If you work hard, you still have a chance. I believe you can do it."

Hearing Tao Yaoyao's encouragement, Chen Mubai laughed, and at the same time stretched out his hand, stroking her black and beautiful hair.

"You have such confidence in me."

"En!" Tao Yaoyao nodded her head vigorously, her eyes full of confidence.

"Then I can't let you down, I must do it." Chen Mubai smiled.

"Okay, I'll accompany you~" Tao Yaoyao smiled sweetly.

"You guys...show your affection in front of me, okay?" Qin Qiu was a little speechless as he watched the two show their affection as if no one else was around.

"Since you said these words, you should be prepared, right?" Qin Qiu looked at Chen Mubai.

Chen Mubai nodded: "I just told Yaoyao not to take part in the show, because I wanted her to act in my next work."

"We acted opposite each other. This movie is aimed at awards. I am going to submit "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" to the Cannes Film Festival for trial. If I am lucky, I may win another award. If not, I will wait to shoot again. one part."

The films submitted for review by the three major European films need to be premiered in their own country and not screened in other countries, and they must be counted as international screenings at film festivals.

"When Happiness Knocks on the Door" was produced in the United States, and then it premiered in the United States, but it also premiered in China at the same time. Horses are living horse doctors.

"To make a film for the award, a literary film?" Qin Qiu asked curiously.

In fact, she felt that Tao Yaoyao's succession to Chen Mubai's work was the best and guaranteed.

Both the quality and the box office are guaranteed, which is the best result for her.

It's just that I didn't say it before because "Iron Man" has just finished filming, and it needs more than half a year to be released in the Spring Festival. Chen Mubai has to be busy with "Iron Man", she thought he didn't have time to film.

Now it seems that Chen Mubai has a plan, which is the best.

Relying on the popularity of "Resident Evil", Tao Yaoyao's next works are divided into two situations. The first one is to continue to shoot commercial movies. If the box office of the movie can still be high, this is the best result.

The other is to give up the box office and go to pick up literary films, and take the route of winning awards. In this way, for her, if she wins an award, she will earn blood, and if she doesn't win an award, she will not lose.

After all, she is an actor with a background in commercial films, so it’s normal to want to earn awards. As we all know, literary films have no box office. She can’t afford the box office and no one doubts her ability. Popularity and reputation are different.

Therefore, even though there were many Hollywood movie appointments, Qin Qiu didn't accept Tao Yaoyao, just wanted to find a movie with good quality and good box office results.

"It can be regarded as a literary film, a romantic film, mixed with a political background at the same time." Chen Mubai nodded.

"But it's not a pure literary movie. I will invest in this movie according to the specifications of "Iron Man". I have high expectations for its box office. I want the world to see a love that will never change until death!"

Tao Yaoyao was surprised: "A love movie? Then I'm the heroine?"

"That's right."

"Okay, I'll take it!" Tao Yaoyao was overjoyed, her big beautiful eyes curved into crescents.

"So, is this a movie made for our love?" Tao Yaoyao asked curiously.

Chen Mubai nodded without blushing: "Of course, but it's an adaptation with real history."

"From reality?" Qin Qiu was even more surprised.

Generally, the investment in love movies is not large. There are only a few world-renowned poignant love stories. Have you heard of any that require such a large investment?

Chen Mubai said: "The sinking of the British Titanic."

"This incident?" Qin Qiu was even more surprised: "This is a tragic incident. As the most luxurious cruise ship in the world at that time, it sank on its first voyage. Haven't you heard of a love story?"

"The ship is full of world-renowned figures, and there are many rich people and aristocrats from various countries. It was a sensational event in the world at that time."

This world also has this history, Qin Qiu naturally knows it.

"So it's an adaptation. Taking this incident as the main line, I fabricated the protagonist's love line, coupled with the social background at the time, to create a poignant love scene."

Chen Mubai said with a smile: "The reason for the huge investment is because I want to restore this ship one by one. I want to amaze the world. I believe this movie will definitely be able to knock on the door of the Berlin Film Festival!"

"Similarly, I am also confident that everyone will witness the love of the century and let everyone see our love."

As he spoke, Chen Mubai looked at Tao Yaoyao softly, as if he was saying to let everyone in the world see their love.

When Tao Yaoyao saw Chen Mubai's gentle gaze, her heart almost melted.

What could be more romantic than this?

Filming the love between two people into a movie for everyone in the world to watch and appreciate is the most romantic thing ever!

"A poignant love scene?"

Qin Qiu keenly grasped the word, and then asked: "Is this a love scene between nobles and commoners?"

This is a commonly used method in many film and television shows. The huge difference in identity can make the audience feel refreshed. If they are both ordinary people or wealthy people, it will not be so interesting.

Because the values ​​of the same identity are not much different, many contradictions are reflected in the values, and the huge difference in identity will produce gaps and contradictions. This is a drama that everyone likes to watch.

Just like rich people buying a piece of clothing for several thousand, and ordinary people buying a piece of clothing for dozens, it is normal for both of them, but if it is put on different classes, the meaning is different, and there will be conflicts.

Moreover, since ancient times, the love stories that can be remembered by people all stem from huge differences in identities. Those with similar identities are called unions, and only those with large gaps and hard work are called love.

Either the process is tortuous and thrilling, or the result of cultivation is enviable.

"Yes, this is the only way to allude to social class. It can not only make people feel the political culture behind the solidification of class, but also allow everyone to appreciate the scene of self-defense for love." Chen Mubai nodded.

"Isn't this our love?" Tao Yaoyao's heart was filled with happiness.

Chen Mubai's identity is actually just a commoner. Even though he has become a superstar now, the essence of his identity has not changed. Tao Yaoyao is considered a capitalist, and Tao Qingchao's connections far exceed Chen Mubai's. The identities of the two parties are indeed different.

The trade group's personal connections and social resources are far stronger than those of entertainment companies. Chen Mubai's smooth sailing is due to his outstanding personal ability and the escort from above, not because of his strong personal connections.

Just like opening up the overseas market, Tao Qingchao helped Chen Mubai get it right away by making a match. This is the revelation of resources. Tao Yaoyao is a rich girl, and Chen Mubai is a poor boy, so to speak.

Although Chen Mubai has not said who is a commoner and who is an aristocrat, but the result is not difficult to guess.

Generally, the poor boy falls in love with the rich girl, and then chases her, which moves Bai Fumei, and the two come together.

If it were a boy who was an aristocrat, he would generally not chase after him so fiercely. Ordinary commoner women would hardly be able to resist the charm of the rich second generation. Moreover, given the social background at that time, it was normal to have three wives and four concubines, and they used to chase after them infatuatedly. a girl?

"The result is not good?" Qin Qiu said.

It's all poignant, and the ending is definitely not happy.

Chen Mubai did not deny it: "Beauty is what has shortcomings, and it will make people impressed, and it is also the most suitable choice for winning awards."

"Okay, your script is finished, send it over at any time, let Yaoyao think about it first." Qin Qiu said.

"Should I make some preparations in advance, and don't give her any other tasks during this time, let her take a break and get back up to make this movie."

Qin Qiu didn't know if Tao Yaoyao would win the award, but she believed that Chen Mubai might win the award, no matter whether it was talent or acting skills, since he had a plan, she naturally chose to believe him.

"Let's dance, and then learn the etiquette of nobles." Chen Mubai said.

The previous social class was solidified, and the status of nobles and commoners was like a gap. Not to mention the huge difference in life, there was also a huge difference in daily behavior.

As a child of a rich family, good self-cultivation and etiquette are a must. This attitude will be shown in every gesture. If the etiquette is poor, other nobles will despise it.

Rich people will learn from this aspect, rich is not noble, noble refers to the background, rich nouveau riche will also be extremely humble in front of this kind of noble, this is the solidification of status and class, many families even if they are down and out Maintaining this "decency" is the family's reputation.

The family of the heroine Ruth is such a family. Even if it is extremely destitute, it still has to maintain the cultivation that a nobleman should have in front of others. This is what it means to suffer.

However, the social atmosphere at that time was like this, and it cannot be said to be a personal or family problem, but a social phenomenon.

"no problem!"

Tao Yaoyao asked curiously, "Then when are you going to start filming?"

Chen Mubai said without hesitation: "It may be at the end of the year. I'm still working on "Iron Man" in the later stage. I will not approve this work until I'm almost finished. The special effects will take time. I just need to determine the general content and special effects first. OK."

"During this period of time, I will be preparing for a new movie. The investment in this movie will be huge, and the preparation work ahead will take time. I just take advantage of this time to catch my breath and recharge my batteries."

"Come find me when you are free. Sister Qin has already said that she will try her best to push back the work. I will study in Shanghai."

"Okay, when the time comes, the script will be written for you. If you have anything you don't understand, you can come to me. First, you should thoroughly understand the script and prepare things well before shooting, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort when shooting."

A few days later, Chen Mubai handed over the new script "Titanic" to Tao Yaoyao.

Qin Qiu and Tao Yaoyao read the script for the first time, and then immersed themselves in the story.

"Freedom, romantic love..." Tao Yaoyao murmured in a low voice.

Qin Qiu smiled wryly and said, "No wonder it is said to be a poignant love story, but it has a bad ending. Ruth's last behavior will also attract criticism."

"Criticism?" Tao Yaoyao asked strangely: "She has already lived in the way Jack said, why is there still criticism?"

Qin Qiu looked at Tao Yaoyao's puzzled expression, and said with a smile: "She did choose to live according to Jack's way, but from the audience's point of view, Jack sacrificed his life to save Ruth, but she still Getting married and having children doesn't meet the audience's expectations for love."

"From the audience's point of view, I would rather she be alone and be a widow for Jack. Although it is cruel to her, it is a perfect symbol of love in the hearts of the audience."

Tao Yaoyao whispered after listening to the explanation: "That's true, if it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't come out..."

"This is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures. Since Mu Bai chose to set the background in the West, it is also based on this consideration, and he wants to hit the Berlin Film Festival. This background is the most suitable, and the ending is also in line with the theme of romance and freedom."

"Jack saved Ruth's life. Ruth lived under Jack's name and lived according to his expectations. What she did afterwards was in line with free romantic love."

The small book booth that book lovers used before has been hung up, and now they are basically using \\Mi\\Mi\\reading\\app\\\\.

"Jack appeared in Ruth's life like a gust of wind. Although he left soon, he brought her the most precious thing of human beings—freedom. She was a canary before. After meeting Jack, everything is in order. It has become different, and this kind of metaphor broke the social class practice at that time, and I think it is possible to win the favor of the judges."

After Qin Qiu finished reading the script, he couldn't stop praising: "The script is very good, Yaoyao, you have to work hard. Even if the box office of this movie is not high, the rating should be better than "Resident Evil". Maybe it has a chance to become your masterpiece. Well, the role, it’s not impossible to get the best actress!”

The most important roles in this movie are Jack and Ruth. They are well-deserved male and female protagonists. The whole process describes the love story of the two. Most of the shots are on them. As long as they perform well, they will naturally win awards. Down.

"For you, the most difficult thing is how to interpret the character's psychological transformation. Fortunately, there is enough time for you to figure it out. If you play against Chen Mubai, it should be able to stimulate your ability to the greatest extent. After all, the two of you are originally It’s just couples, it shouldn’t be a problem to act in a love scene.”

Qin Qiu didn't worry about Tao Yaoyao's emotions and etiquette, because he and Chen Mubai were lovers, so this kind of relationship is definitely not difficult, and Tao Yaoyao came from a wealthy family, learning music for a long time made her temperament more elegant, and she has a kind of classical music in her body. Elegant temperament, as long as you learn the etiquette and posture, and dress up, Tao Yaoyao is a proper noble lady!

The most difficult thing is Ruth's emotional changes. How to deduce the two different states before and after is the biggest challenge. The acting skills must have a sense of hierarchy. It will not work if it is too plain or too violent. good.

"Mubai is here for the awards this time, we can't hold back." Qin Qiu looked at Tao Yaoyao with emotion.

Tao Yaoyao looked very serious: "I know, I will definitely work hard to play this role well and let him hit the awards!"

For any award-winning work, in addition to the excellent story itself, the performance of the actors is very important.

Otherwise, even if the core of the story is good and the acting skills are not good, they will be eliminated. The works I competed at the film festival are not bad, it just depends on who does it better.

Such as acting skills are the most basic things. If the acting is not good, how can the story be told well?

Tao Yaoyao, as the heroine, if she can't act well, it will definitely drag down the evaluation of the whole movie, and she will become a dragging existence.

For the sake of Chen Mubai and herself, Tao Yaoyao vowed not to let this happen!

 …

Chen Mubai's next film has been confirmed in this way, and "Titanic" is the work he wants to hit the award.

There are several considerations for choosing this movie. One is the impact. This movie caused a sensation when it was released in the previous life, and it also became the number one box office movie in the world. It lasted for more than ten years, until it was later replaced by the first 3D movie. The blockbuster Avatar broke through and became the second in film history.

Such a high box office is enough to show how much audiences around the world like this movie, and the high score also shows that the quality is also high.

This is a rare work with both high box office and high evaluation, and it is also a work that can chase film festivals!

Chen Mubai will make some changes to the content to make the conflict of political metaphors more obvious and deepen the social conflict between the aristocracy and the common people. This kind of realistic conflict is the favorite of the film festival judges.

Tao Yaoyao will study the script for the next six months to prepare for the movie, while Chen Mubai will start the preparatory work.

The preparatory work for this film is even greater than that of "Iron Man". After all, to manufacture a one-to-one real ship, not to mention the huge cost, even the construction time will take a long time.

Fortunately, things that can be solved by spending money are not things. Chen Mubai has a lot of money now!

The company's capital flow is very abundant, and there are two capitals of Weixin and Dow Group behind it. Will it be short of money?

In fact, if he is willing to let go of investment, countless people will flock to invest in his work. It can be said that he can make this movie without spending his own money...

It's just that he is not an investor in that case, and he doesn't have that strong control over the film as a whole, and he may have to accept Cypriots from the investor. This is something he doesn't want to see. In order to win awards, the actors' acting skills must be guaranteed. He needs to pick it himself.

Although, with his current status, as long as he doesn't want to accept capital injections, it's okay, but if he is completely open to accepting capital injections, and he is unwilling to give others a little sweetness, he will take all the benefits, which is not appropriate after all.

The entertainment industry is essentially an interest circle, which is a replacement of resources, and it is impossible to only take advantage of it.

After communicating with Tao Yaoyao, Chen Mubai returned to the company to discuss with Lu Fang.
