my time as a director

After the contract was signed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and won Zhang Yimou, a great director, which would directly make Le's Pictures among the giants.

Even if Jinling Shisanchai failed at the box office, under this kind of polarized reputation, it can still get close to [-] million box office, which is enough to prove Zhang Yimou's ability and box office appeal.

After all, not everyone thinks of Li Qian and Zhang Zhao has a toothache.

"I'm going to trouble Mr. Zhang in the future, and I'm about to start preparations for my return." Zhang Yimou smiled, but he wasn't too excited.

"Director Zhang just leave it to me." Zhang Zhao agreed straight away. Although Zhang Yimou's next movie is not a commercial blockbuster, an art movie is better.

Artistic films mean that the cost is not so high, and this is what Zhang Yimou is best at.

There is no rush to make an art film with a high reputation, first to restore the reputation, and then to make a commercial blockbuster.

Zhang Zhao added, "Besides, if this kind of subject matter can impact the Oscar selection, the Oscars still welcome this kind of movie that spans decades of life experience."

Oscar?

"Let's talk about it when the time comes." Zhang Yimou shook his head, he would not have any Oscar in the future.

To be precise, at the rate of Li Qian making one movie a year, no domestic director will get an Oscar nomination in the future, unless it is also a phenomenon-level movie.

The Golden Globe Award, after winning the Golden Globe Award, the Oscar statuette is just around the corner, and Li Qian is only under 30 years old.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yimou felt a sense of loss.

Since Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, the Oscar statuette that he and countless directors have been chasing for ten years is about to be won by Li Qian.

Based on his knowledge of Optoelectronics, as long as Li Qian's movie does not have any plots to smear the country, Li Qian will basically win the Oscars in the future.

Just like in the past ten years, he has won nearly half of the Oscars. Except for Love in the Hawthorn Tree and Three Shots, the other films are the only choices for the Olympics, and no one can shake them.

If Li Qian maintains his previous level and his current reputation, basically no one will be able to take away the Olympic qualification.

Unless there is a talented new director who turns out to be able to replace Li Qian.

However, Li Qian is only 30 years old. Judging by his age in this industry, he himself is still a rookie.

He sighed heavily in his heart, what he had pursued for ten years was about to be obtained by a young man. Apart from being happy for mainland movies, Zhang Yimou felt more empty.

If a mainland movie wins an Oscar statuette, what should he pursue?

"Hey!"

The one who also started to get confused was Brother Cheng Kai.

Stimulated by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon back then, the Oscar statuette was their biggest pursuit in the past ten years, none of them.

Wuji was the one who quarreled most fiercely with the Olympics. Brother Cheng Kai had already won the Palme d'Or, and he was determined to win the Oscar statuette that Farewell My Concubine missed before, and his publicity was far beyond that of a hero.

But when the nomination was announced that year, Brother Cheng Kai was given a blow.

Not even a nomination, coupled with the fiasco at the box office, word of mouth has dropped to freezing point, and even a bastard made a steamed bun to humiliate himself.

Under the four blows, Chen Kai, who was ashamed and disappointed at the beginning, began to hide from the world and disappeared directly from the public.

Recalling his evasion back then, Brother Cheng Kai still had a burning feeling on his face.

More than once, he desperately thought about washing away everyone's doubts about him, but he couldn't do it.

But now, Brother Cheng Kai thought, he might not have a chance.

Without making entertainment films, it is impossible to achieve Li Qian's more than one billion box office. If there is no accident, Li Qian will control the Olympic quota in the future.

"Hey!"

Compared with Zhang Yimou and Cheng Kai, who were a little sad, Ma Xiaogang's thoughts in the same era were completely different.

He also rushed to the Olympic Games. The Banquet is known as the Hamlet of the East, and he went there just for the appetite of Westerners, for overseas copyrights and Oscars.

But let alone an Oscar nomination, he didn't even get a Golden Globe nomination.

Meticulously prepared, none of the films tailor-made for foreigners were nominated. Li Qian won the Golden Globe Award for the first time in the Olympic Games.

Coupled with the disastrous defeat in the New Year's Eve, Ma Xiaogang became more and more unhappy.

"Humph!"

Looking at the praise of Truman's world and Li Qian all over the Internet, Ma Xiaogang was filled with indignation and disdain.

If you want to win an Oscar for a comedy film, go ahead and dream about it. How high you are now, if you don’t win an award by then, I’ll see how it will end!

Thinking to himself, the corner of Ma Xiaogang's mouth raised a slight angle unconsciously, as if he had seen Li Qian's predicament after the Oscar collapsed in Truman's World.

However, when I thought of the box office of 1942, which had just exceeded [-] million, my face collapsed again.

No matter how lively the outside world was, or what other people thought, Li Qian came back jet-lagged, and after a short rest, he held a press conference to celebrate The Truman World.

The box office is more than 17 billion. Although there are high-definition pirated versions, it should not be a big problem to break through 18 billion.

It doesn't make any difference if there is more than 40 million or less than [-] million, and the movie has been released for [-] days.

There is no need to deliberately keep a low profile, that would be too careful.

Besides, there is no way to keep a low profile. The box office and influence of the movie are here.

At the celebration press conference, the most frequently asked by reporters was their confidence in winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

What else can I say, I can't say I don't have confidence.

Li Qian said with a smile, "This is the first time I nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Of course I hope to win the award. Now that I have participated, I don't think anyone would just want to accompany him for a trip. In that case, it would be better not to sign up."

"Director Li, Oscar has never been a comedy, and Truman's World is a comedy. What aspects of the movie do you think can impress the judges?" The reporter asked.

"Actually, Truman's World is a drama film in essence, but it just tells the story in a black humorous way. Besides, the artist who won the Oscar for best film last year also has comedy elements. As for the things that impress the judges, Then it depends on what the judges see from the movie." Li Qian said.

"Director Li, after Truman's World won the Oscar, you became the only director in the mainland to win an Oscar. Even directors Zhang Yimou and Cheng Kai didn't win the Oscar."

"It's just a nomination at the moment, and I haven't won an award yet."

Without waiting for the reporter to finish speaking, Li Qian interrupted him and said with a smile, "However, I would like to thank this reporter friend for helping me with the loan."

loan?

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then roared with laughter.

Loan Oscar, this statement is really novel.

However, no one gave Li Qian any more loans.
