Chapter 589 Nominated for Oscar
Beijing Film Studio began to decline in the late 1980s.
At that time, the factory had to spend 10,000 yuan a month to keep warm during the winter, and even this amount of money could not be afforded. Later, when Han Sanping took office, he was bold and clever, and led a group of directors to beg for alms across the country, allowing state-owned and private companies to
My boss sponsored me, and I was finally able to make money for filming.
Then, China Film Group was established and Beijing Film Studio was merged into it.
Chen Qi pondered this matter until he returned home at night. After dinner, he sat down at his desk to write an article. He wanted to stir up the pond of "Dream of Red Mansions" to avoid being dropped by butterflies.
Gong Xue was busy with him during this period. She served as the host of the Spring Festival Gala for the second time. The task was not light. At this moment, she was leaning on a recliner, holding the process draft and saying: "Cao, there is something I feel is wrong."
"where?"
"Before ringing the bell, everyone came on stage, and I said I wish the athletes good results in Los Angeles and get our first Olympic gold medal! Then Liang Xiaolong said, just like in "Fearless", the Chinese are not the sick men of East Asia!
Should we remove "Fearless"? Bruce Liang represents everything just standing there, there is no need for him to emphasize "Fearless", it's like advertising."
"Okay!"
"Then I deleted it?"
"Okay!"
???
Gong Xue glanced at him, walked to a certain man with her hands behind her back, and said with a smile: "My words are also a bit cumbersome, so can I delete them all?"
"Well, it's up to you!"
"ah!"
Chen Qi's ear was suddenly bitten, and then a soft body fell on his lap, and he said angrily: "What are you writing with so much care?"
"Oh, just earn some royalties."
"Let me see!"
Gong Xue picked up the manuscript and took a look. The title was: "A brief discussion on how to put the Dream of Red Mansions on the big screen."
"I heard that CCTV's preparations for "Dream of Red Mansions" are going well and it is scheduled to be launched this year. I can't help but be really happy. "Dream of Red Mansions" is a great Chinese classic, and film and television adaptations are too rare. Nowadays, domestic movies and television are booming. It is precisely time for a hundred flowers to bloom and pay more attention to classics.
adaptation.
While I wish all the best for the TV series version, I can’t help but think about how to bring such a masterpiece to the big screen..."
"With such a serious wording, where are you going to vote?"
"Popular Cinema!"
"ha!"
Gong Xue couldn't help but laugh, and said: "You submitted an article to "Popular Cinema"? Then they will welcome you with joy. You have never written an article for a domestic journal."
"Yeah, I've made all the Hong Kong dollars!"
"Why do you suddenly care about "Dream of Red Mansions"? Do you want to film it?" Gong Xue's eyes widened.
"I also have a heart that loves classics. How about you playing Lin Daiyu?"
"Is there a Lin Daiyu as old as me? Do you really want to take pictures?"
"I have some ideas for the time being, but I'm not sure. I need to study them... Just play with yourself first, be good."
Chen Qi patted her butt and continued to immerse himself in writing. This kind of article was easy to come by, and he could finish it in one go. Then he stuffed it into an envelope and prepared to submit it to "Popular Cinema". As expected, it would be published in the February or March issue of the magazine.
He brushed his teeth, soaked his feet, took off his clothes and went to bed.
It's around 10 o'clock in the evening, and the two of them don't have sex every day, especially in the cold winter, so the frequency is significantly reduced. Chen Qi is lying on his back, and Gong Xue is hugging him sideways, whispering before going to bed.
"The trustee of Shanghai Film Studio sent me a message saying that "Under the Bridge" will be released after the Spring Festival."
"That's great. You're in time for the Hundred Flowers Award. You can win four consecutive championships."
"What are you thinking about? Then I will be the target of public criticism!"
"What are you afraid of? The eyes of the masses are sharp. If anyone is dissatisfied, go to the masses. Are you confident about the Golden Rooster Award?"
"How should I say..."
Gong Xue nuzzled into his arms and said: "I think the performance was very good. Compared with before, I had a better grasp of the inner drama. I felt it was quite delicate. In your words, it was precise.
Let’s decide whether to take it or not, anyway, I think it’s best to film a movie in the first half of the year, and then I’ll take a break in the second half.”
"Okay, we also have to prepare for pregnancy."
"What is pregnancy preparation?" Gong Xue didn't understand.
"The most basic thing is to quit smoking and drinking, supplement nutrition, regulate diet, exercise, etc., so that children can be healthy."
"..."
Gong Xue blinked her eyes and nodded after a while: "Oh, then let me study."
Giving birth in this era is different from that in later generations. Let alone the 1980s. In his previous life, Chen Qi had a cousin who was born in the 1990s and lived in a rural area. His aunt gave birth to her baby on the kang of her home and hired a midwife from the village.
.
Yes, there were midwives in the 1990s.
It has only been more than 20 years since Chinese people had enough to eat...
The two of them were talking, and before they knew it, Gong Xue fell silent and fell asleep holding him in her arms. Chen Qi was still asleep and gently touched her hair. She was not from a major, she just relied on hard study and practice, and her early acting skills were raw.
, and it was indeed okay later.
Better than Li Gengxi.
Unfortunately, there are too few works taken and there is no opportunity for further improvement.
Historically, "Under the Bridge" is her work after her double film debut, and the probability of it changing is not high because the opponents are still the same.
Chen Qi knew that if he said something, Gong Xue would retire without hesitation and focus on being a housewife. But he didn't want to. He wanted her to have her own career. People who work full-time as housewives would lose common topics over time.
"Now that I'm here, I have to make a breakthrough and continue to become famous internationally. Otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain?"
Chen Qi kissed Sister Xue on the forehead, and after finishing the work at hand, slowly polished a good script for her comeback.
………………
Just when Chen Qi was busy with various matters.
Los Angeles.
At the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, named after a famous Hollywood producer, the media gathered, along with some studio executives and producers.
There is no scene and it is not an award ceremony.
I saw personnel from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organizer of the Oscars, walking on stage, holding an envelope, and said with a smile: "Since the founding of the Oscars in 1929, we have gone through 56 years.
We are very happy to see that the works participating in the competition are becoming more and more diverse and exciting.
Next, I will announce the nominees for this year’s Oscars!”
Nominations are announced in January every year, and the specific award time is not fixed. This year it will be on April 9th.
"Nominated for Best Editing..."
"Nominated for Best Costume Design..."
"optimal……"
Someone from 20th Century Fox was also present, listening to the announcements one after another, and suddenly heard one:
“Best Original Screenplay: Ingmar Bergman, Fanny and Alexander, Walter F. Parks/Lawrence Lascoe, War Games, Lawrence Kasdan/Barbara Benedek, The Big Chill,
"The Silkwood Incident" Nora Ephron/Alice Arlen..."
Finally there is another one: ""Life is Beautiful", Chen Qi!"
"OK!"
People from 20th Century Fox nodded. They applied for many awards for "Life is Beautiful", but only two were sure to be nominated, screenplay and foreign language film.
Continue to announce the list.
"Best Foreign Language Film: "Life is Beautiful," "Fanny and Alexander," "Dance Hall," "Carmen" and "Life is a Struggle"!
Both were shortlisted!
And this is not over yet. To everyone's surprise, the last item announced:
"Best Picture Nominations: "Mother and Daughter," "Space Pioneers," "Big Chill," "Tender Mercy," and "Life Is Beautiful!"
"OH!"
Chapter completed!
