Chapter 1176: Behind the Thirteen Nominations
"But how can I explain my composition ability? Sometimes, without me having to think too much, some melodies seem to form automatically in my mind!"
Having been with Jin Xishan for a long time, Liu Qingshan has mastered the most accurate lie-telling skills. For example, this kind of confusion brought out by others on his own initiative is a very magical rhetorical question skill.
Jin Xishan's reaction was to comfort him as always: "The ancient martial arts you mastered can take me to the sky. Perhaps your previous IQ was already transcendent that you were not even aware of. It's just that you said this to me."
Just talk about it, I suggest you not even talk about it in depth with little Taylor, she is too young and grew up in a Western environment, so she cannot understand it, and her future temperament is far from certain!"
"Well, I understand. I will only say this to you, and I will never mention it to the second person in my life!"
Liu Qingshan knows how to seize opportunities to express himself.
Jin Xishan must be full of joy; "Actually, since the day you saved me, I have known that my brother is a person who values love and justice, otherwise I would not be willing to give up the great development prospects of Han Country and stay in the mainland.
It has developed! In fact, what you don’t know is that before making a decision, I was very anxious inside!”
Regardless of the many people around him, Liu Qingshan reached out and grabbed Jin Xishan's small hands: "Why didn't I know? Sister Xuan Ji mentioned it to me later, but I never told you!"
The two of them were minding their own business and openly flirting in front of everyone, which immediately prompted Hu Jun to remind him half-jokingly: "You two are just as serious as I said. Although there are no reporters here, there are many soldiers here, so don't be afraid."
Will it spread and cause trouble?"

Jin Xishan is very familiar with him. His uncle is a famous tenor singer in the Mainland. Many of his works are the works of her godmother and mentor Gu Yun, so that person is also a frequent visitor to Master Gu's house. Hu Jun will also go there occasionally.
.
So she rolled her eyes at him rudely: "Brother Hu Jun, other actors have gone to practice in the cold weather, but you still have time to watch us two?"
Hu Jun laughed loudly: "I dare to risk offending Zhongyi and sign this notice because there are no battlefield scenes for me. Otherwise, I have no shortage of scenes to shoot. Why would I have the leisure to go to this minus two,
Coming from the deep mountains and old forests at 30 degrees Celsius?”
These words are the truth of this person. Unlike Zhang Hanyu, who played the leading role for the first time, he is now a popular niche actor in the Mainland. Naturally, he has no shortage of movie dates. Even if he is willing to come here, he really has to think first before making a decision.
Let’s look at the feelings of the Wang brothers of Zhongyi.
The reason why Liu Qingshan got along so well with him was his outspoken personality: "Brother Jun, you can't say that. I can be regarded as a major contributor to promoting you to overseas markets, regardless of whether you are famous overseas or not."
, but it’s a fact that more foreigners know about you, right? What’s wrong with helping a brother?”
Hu Jun played the fake Zhang Mazi in "Let the Bullets Fly". This movie won a very high box office overseas. As a minor supporting role, Hu Jun at least looked familiar.
Moreover, he has participated in such a Chinese-language film that has reached the top 20 in Hollywood in total box office. This qualification is rare for any Chinese actor.
Sure enough, after hearing Liu Qingshan's words, Hu Jun immediately lost all his arrogance: "Okay, I admit that I came here because of the reputation of Shanzi, but this film probably won't have much success in overseas markets. I didn't deliberately splash it.
Cool water?"
This is also true. Films with similar themes, especially films with a strong Chinese heroic complex, seem to have been destined not to receive much box office success overseas from the very beginning of the script.
Perhaps because of Liu Qingshan's current fame, there will be many overseas appeals that the original version does not have, but overall, the idea of surpassing "Let the Bullets Fly" is simply unrealistic.
This time it was Liu Qingshan's turn to laugh: "My first work had such a high box office, and there was more luck involved. Based on the feedback from overseas markets later, I realized that many of the plots and scenes in it were very similar to those in Western Knight Riders."
The style of the movie is very similar, and it happened to inspire a lot of nostalgic feelings! When I made this movie, I still had a very rational position in my heart, and I think that a qualified filmmaker cannot always focus on the market and
At the box office, moving from the heart is the eternal true meaning of a movie!"
Hu Jun nodded: "Shanzi, I admire you for having such an idea. Then why do the scripts you came up with before have commercial elements in the vast majority? Of course, I do not deny the artistry of your creations, such as "Chicago"
”, “The King’s Speech” is likely to win an Oscar.”
Liu Qingshan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, I have to eat first. Without any market value, if you directly put out an artistic work, someone must see it.
Eye-catching!"
While several people were talking, Shi Hui ran over and handed over the phone: "It belongs to Brother Chen Long. He seems to be looking for you in an emergency!"
Liu Qingshan hurriedly took it and listened while walking. The voice over there was indeed a little urgent: "Shanzi, according to your instructions in the past two days, I took Taylor to visit many people, and the effect was quite good, but also during these visits, I heard something
An important message for you!"
"Brother, don't worry, what could possibly make you so breathless?"
"Out of breath? Hahaha, Shi Hui and you may have misunderstood. I am not in a hurry to get angry. I just returned to the hotel from outside to sleep. I have to move before going to bed every day. Otherwise, there will be signs of old arms and legs.
It’s even more obvious!”
Liu Qingshan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that he's worried about trouble, but that the work at the moment has just begun and he doesn't want to be distracted by other trivial matters.
"Is it a good thing or a bad thing?" he asked casually.
"I'm calling you in the middle of the night. At least it's a very important matter. I can't say whether it's good or bad right now, because you can't spare the time to come here now!"
“Could it be that ‘The King’s Speech’ has a high chance of winning?”
"You boy is indeed a fox, you can even guess all this! "The King's Speech" was nominated for 13 awards at this year's Oscars. This is an unprecedented first for the European and American film market! But this case
What should have been a happy thing has been thrown into confusion. Currently, some people are spreading the word about your Chinese identity in the UK and the US. The specific rhetoric is very simple. They are just saying that you are not a Westerner. The specific arguments are just that.
After repeatedly emphasizing that your identity is not suitable for winning Western awards, there is also an implicit sense of deliberate Orientalization in the portrayal of the characters in the play!"
Liu Qingshan felt even more relieved when he heard this: "I thought it was such a big deal. Even if this movie doesn't win anything at the Oscars, what does it have to do with me? I'll get all the remuneration and dividends I deserve, and all 13 awards."
In the end, winning the award actually doesn’t have much to do with me!”
"You can't think like that. The key is the nature of this matter! Once the organizing committee or the mainstream media recognize this kind of voice, similar reports on your future works will become popular, and it's really hard for you to deal with this kind of thing
You have to fight back, otherwise you will easily gain the reputation of being narrow-minded!"
"Listening to what you said, has the producer investigated and found out that these two voices do not reflect the specific origin of either party, or is it someone who is deliberately inciting them?"
"Well, Tom Hopper met with me and told me about the investigation. He didn't know much about the old and American side, but the information given to him by the British side came from many populist political parties and civil society groups.
Little Union.”
"Why do you say it's a small alliance?" Liu Qingshan caught the word very sensitively.
Chen Long said with a smile: "Because they are not the mainstream of local society, and as soon as relevant remarks appear, people who support you will attack you. These people also include a large number of politicians, and even caused several protests.
They sent a remonstrance letter to the parliament together, causing a lot of commotion!"
Liu Qingshan's tone was a little surprised: "Do I have such great influence?"
"Shanzi, don't underestimate your popular appeal in the West. Moreover, this matter itself involves the European royal family, especially the British royal family. Otherwise, how could Tom Hopper get so much information!"
"???????????????The situation in the United States should be similar. Am I suspected of being involved in some kind of inter-class war?"
"You finally understand that those folk voices are claiming to be from the grassroots. But I have also consulted for you. Every time a major event happens here, there will always be a lot of different voices. This is almost
It’s a common practice in Western society! I’m calling you late at night just to remind you of this matter, not to tell you what to do. My opinion is to ignore it, not to make any comments, let alone try to take the initiative to restore anything!”
"Hahaha, brother, don't worry about this. I don't have that much free time to care about this, and this matter basically has nothing to do with me directly. It's normal to have doubts, and I won't keep it in mind.
Up!"
"I feel relieved when I see your attitude. I was worried that your kid would be angry after hearing this! Also, if you don't mind my nagging, brother, there is one more thing I want to say. Have you ever thought about it?
No, if the British royal family or the crew called you and asked you to express your personal views, what would you do? I know you have a very good relationship with the British royal family!"
"Everything good is just an appearance. In fact, I only have a personal relationship with Earl Snowdon. Others handed over condoms, and I didn't have time to take care of them, even if it was the Queen's office phone number!"
"As long as you know how to do it, don't get involved in this kind of thing. I'm just worried about your so-called loyalty!"
"Loyalty has to be said, but I know my priorities! Thank you, brother. You didn't forget to take care of my brother even though it's so late!"
"Who put my biological son in your hands? How has this guy behaved in the past two days?"
"I just filmed a scene with him this morning. Generally speaking, it was passable, but his Mandarin is not very authentic!"
"Before, I specifically asked him to understand this character in depth, and even assigned Ella to supervise his recitation of lines."
Chapter completed!
