The day when the idol is disqualified, when the superstar rises

"Also, what I just said is not fooling you," Jiang Mu said before leaving, "I really...you feel, forget it, anyway, you know it in your own mind."

"Whether I count or not, selling a movie to Feiwang will not have any impact. Didn't you say that Boss Niu is invincible, how can I resist."

Wang Chuan smiled nonsense.

Jiang Mu directly hacked Penguin and Qingchuan, who Shanhai is currently cooperating with, so the Feiwang he was planning to go to was the only one that fit the bill?

It's okay for him to scare other young people with his words, but Wang Chuan said that he has been exposed to many things on the earth, and he has figured it out recently. As long as the mountains and seas don't kill themselves, life should not be too easy.

Don't talk about long-term concerns, there is no near-term worries.

As for the concerns about Penguin Entertainment, it is enough to introduce other capital checks and balances in the next financing.

The cake of Shanhai is indeed attractive, and there are many people who want to eat it, but Shanhai is only a cake maker at present.

As long as Shan Hai is not ready to open a cake shop, he doesn't have to worry about being forcibly kidnapped by someone to become an exclusive cake chef, and he will always be sought after.

When Shanhai can open a cake shop, what Jiang Mu just said is actually irrelevant.

Moreover, Shanhai rarely relies on Wang Chuan for its current business decisions. The management knows better than Wang Chuan how to cooperate with Penguin.

That is to say, Shanhai has not been started for a long time, and it seems that all projects are relying on Penguin Entertainment.

Just like if next year's "Celebrating More Than Years" is not broadcast as scheduled, "365" will no longer be sold to Penguin Video. Penguin Video made it by itself, but the label on this show is Wang Chuan.

Jiang Mu came to scare Wang Chuan, which was quite funny.

"Actually, you can really overcome the difficulties and find a way to marry Huang Ci'en, this—" Jiang Mu stopped awkwardly, "Then, okay, I will visit Shanhai tomorrow, Chuan, you go home early and rest."

Wang Chuan wanted to regret it a little bit.

……

"How about, is my dancing level getting better and better? [cute]"

Yang Xuezhi sent a WeChat message to ask.

"It's really good, but it's worse than me. [狗头]"

Wang Chuan gave a pertinent evaluation.

Above is the video Yang Xuezhi just sent of her dancing "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss". In fact, she danced much better than Wang Chuan expected, and she still danced in Hanfu.

But the problem is that Wang Chuan just got on the plane, and she deliberately picked this time to post. She didn't talk about it when they were together yesterday, making it as if... Wang Chuan would force her to dance in front of her face.

"Hahaha, I've been practicing for a long time."

"Your dancing has improved so much, the fans must be happy too."

"I'm so touched by myself. Hey, I'm so envious that you don't have to worry about being secretly photographed when you're abroad."

Wang Chuan was a little surprised.

"Your variety show will be recorded in the UK next year? I'll look for you then too."

"Okay! I hope sister Qiushui can win a few more awards! [Come on]"

Wang Chuan was even more surprised.

"Go for it! [Come on]"

This time when I got off the plane, it was still Ruan Qiushui who came to pick Wang Chuan up.

But last time in New York, this time in Los Angeles.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, baby, you are even more beautiful!"

After getting in the car, Wang Chuan praised with a smile.

"...Can't you talk properly?"

Ruan Qiushui, who was happy after seeing Wang Chuan, immediately felt a tingling chill.

"Don't you like it baby?"

Wang Chuan asked with a smile still.

"do not like!"

Ruan Qiushui said unhappily.

But for Wang Chuan's occasional deliberate mischief, Ruan Qiushui is actually quite acceptable, as long as he doesn't attack suddenly like last time...

"Okay, then what should I call you?" Wang Chuan held Ruan Qiushui's hand, humbly asking for advice, "Can I call you sister?"

"..."

"By the way, I remembered, you asked me to call you Fairy Qiushui before!"

"..."

Ruan Qiushui turned his head to the other side, not wanting to talk to Wang Chuan anymore.

Then Wang Chuan called all the teachers, senior sisters, empresses, queens, leaders, good sisters...

If it wasn't for Wang Chuan's yelling in a low voice, he kept yelling in her ear, Ruan Qiushui would have driven Wang Chuan out of the car.

He didn't stay in a hotel in Los Angeles because Wang Chuan bought a villa here.

Ruan Qiushui lived here after coming here.

Wang Chuan came to the United States this time to hold two concerts and participate in the promotion of "Blue" in the Hollywood awards season, but the first concert was at the end of December, and it is now the beginning of the month.

Although "Blue" performed well with film critics after its release in North America, it is actually difficult to make much gains during the awards season, even though Penguin Pictures did not skimp on public relations expenses.

After the release of "Blue", the main direction of publicity is the awakening of Chinese women's consciousness, playing the cards of Asian faces and female power in the current era. In the current situation of Hollywood dancing with demons, this hand and this direction have little weight.

But this is also the best strategy for "Blue".

After all, the awards season is mainly the awards season for film practitioners in the United States, that is, to set up an award for the best foreign language film to reflect their status as the leader of the world film industry.

As for the mainstream awards, it is really difficult to participate in the competition due to the unfavorable timing and the undeniable quality of the film itself. It is a great success to win some additional technical awards such as photography, costume design, and sound editing.

Penguin Pictures' bottom line expectation for "Blue" is to win an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. At present, it seems that there should be no big problem, but it will be difficult to go further and win this award.

At the previous Venice Film Festival in September, a Swedish independent film "Resurrection" suddenly emerged, and now it is the most popular to win the best foreign language film.

Therefore, Penguin Pictures and Disney Pictures, which is responsible for the distribution of "Blue" in the United States, decisively adjusted the direction of public relations, and put their efforts into trying to win several Best Actress nominations or awards at the Sentinel Awards, and even the final nominations. Best Actress at the Oscars.

As for winning, don't even think about it.

Although it is still difficult to get nominations, after all, Oscar has been nominated for best actress for foreign language films less than 20 times in the past [-] years, but it is not hopeless.

Because no Asian face has been nominated for Best Actress yet, supporting actress, supporting actor, and leading actor have all been nominated, which is a breakthrough for Oscar, which has been criticized and called for change like all film festivals at present. place of change.

Moreover, the response to the previous few award-winning films that have attracted much attention has not been satisfactory. If the performance of the film and the heroine of the last two or three upcoming films are still average after the release, Ruan Qiushui's chances of being nominated are very high. It really came.

At the same time, Ruan Qiushui also needs to do his own job well. For Ruan Qiushui now, the most important thing is to get nominations for key weathervane awards such as the Screen Actors Union and the Golden Globe Awards, so that he can win step by step. Final nominated ticket.

If the outpost loses, there is little chance of a comeback in the end.

"Is it boring?"

Ruan Qiushui gave a consoling smile to Wang Chuan, who was bored after attending the public relations analysis meeting.

"It's true, but I'm just bored. You must be tired."

Although Wang Chuan had expectations in his heart, he also felt quite boring. He tried his best to get a nomination...

But this kind of public relations is still meaningful to Penguin Pictures. Only when more and more Chinese faces appear internationally, can Penguin Entertainment become a real international entertainment giant.

Wang Chuan remembered that Ruan Qiushui complained that it was too easy for him to win the prize...

"I'm not tired. The team decides the strategy. I just need to cooperate. I'm also bored." Ruan Qiushui smiled, and felt a little emotional, "It's just that if you watch this kind of thing a lot, it's easy for people to think about the true meaning of acting. Is it a little hypocritical to think about what the meaning of the award is, and then think about it for yourself? But if you can win the award in the end, the feeling is unparalleled, just like in Cannes.”

"That's how the entertainment industry is."

Wang Chuan took Ruan Qiushui into his arms.

"It seems that no one is exempt."

Ruan Qiushui whispered in Wang Chuan's ear.

In the afternoon, Wang Chuan was invited to attend the premiere of another film.

The female lead Catherine, who was promoted by the media before it was released, is one of the most popular after Oscar actresses, "One Home, One Farewell".

This is Disney's main film for this year's awards.

Since the heroine Catherine joined Disney three years ago, she has started her journey to win awards with great momentum-that is, she has not yet won it.

Before the release, there is a high probability of being a best actress, and after the release, the advantage is obvious. When the awards were presented, she ran with tears... After three consecutive years, she is actually quite a comedian.

Now the film is about to enter the second phase.

At the premiere, Wang Chuan also unexpectedly met director Ke Xizhe.

It turned out that before Wang Chuan came, he made an appointment with him to visit him the day after tomorrow.

This is the most important thing that Wang Chuan didn't publicize when he came to the United States this time. He asked him to shoot "La La Land".

Wang Chuan greeted him, and he nodded politely, without saying anything, because the movie will be shown soon.

After watching the whole movie, Wang Chuan still likes it quite a bit. This movie is mainly about family, or it’s very family-friendly. It’s called farewell, but it’s actually a comeback. It's easy to get up.

Just get the Oscars to watch. In fact, this theme is not the hottest. Although it is Disney’s best family carnival, it is also in the taste of the Oscars. There are elements of political correctness, but it will not make ordinary viewers feel offended. The look and feel is also very good.

The heroine Catherine's performance is also really good, with a kind of moisturizing and silent charm. In the most critical scene of reconciliation with her mother, there are tears in laughter, which is very contagious.

Compared with the other movies that Wang Chuan watched in advance that competed for the best actress, this time it can indeed be said that the advantage is obvious.

Apart from making people wonder why such a pure-bred black father has such a white daughter, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, it is for multi-ethnic care, and there is no way to complain on the surface.

But it made Wang Chuan guess for the whole movie whether she was adopted, or if it was her stepfather, completely guessing the loneliness...

"Great movie!"

At the end of the movie, Wang Chuan stood up with the audience, clapped vigorously, and praised loudly.

Ruan Qiushui beside Wang Chuan was a little dumbfounded.

In fact, Wang Chuan didn't want to say it, but the person on the other side finished shouting first, and then touched Wang Chuan with his arm. His eyes seemed to be asking Wang Chuan's opinion, so Wang Chuan gave him face.

"Next time I have a chance, I will go to Huaxia to have a look."

At the party after the premiere, the man named Jones chatted with Wang Chuan for a while.

He is an actor that few people know in China, and he is outside the third line in Hollywood, but he still has a good chat with Wang Chuan, who is the most popular in China, because Wang Chuan is even more out of 130 lines in Hollywood...

"Huaxia must be more beautiful than you can imagine."

Wang Chuan laughed.

After laughing, Wang Chuan was pulled aside by Mr. Lin Tong of Penguin Pictures.

After Jiang Mu's accident and being sidelined, the most obvious beneficiary within Penguin is Lin Tong. Now it is rumored that he will completely take over Jiang Mu's original job, in charge of Penguin Pictures and vice president of Penguin Entertainment.

His Chinese-American identity and years of experience in Hollywood are just what Penguin Entertainment needs to start its internationalization strategy.

"Uh, what's the use of me going to say hello?"

Wang Chuan originally planned to go to Ke Xizhe after dismissing that Jones.

"What if she was the heroine of your musical?"

Lin Tong laughed playfully.

"She will kick me out and replace me with a well-known Hollywood actor?"

Wang Chuan gave his guess.

"..." After all, Lin Tong chatted less with Wang Chuan, "Say hello, it's up to people. I've inquired inside Disney, and it's not impossible for a Chinese person to act in such a project."

"Ok."

Wang Chuan shrugged.

Catherine was the absolute focus of the party, and it was not easy for Wang Chuan to wait for the opportunity to say hello to her, so he chatted with Lin Tong for a while.

But what Wang Chuan didn't expect was that after waiting for a long time, when he and Lin Tong passed by, Catherine even greeted Lin Tong first.

"Hi, Lin, it really is you."

Catherine was smiling as generously and decently as she had been with everyone else at the party for over an hour.

After chatting, Wang Chuan understood how they met. It turned out that last month Lin notified her $5000 million salary to invite her to film in China. Catherine was very moved and declined, but she was still very impressed.

Catherine also said in her words that she really liked Huaxia very much, and she refused mainly because of concerns about the script and production level. She also said that she hoped that she would seriously consider it when there was a good opportunity in the future.

It means that she does not discriminate and retains the opportunity to make money in the future.

After the greetings were over, Lin Tong introduced Wang Chuan to Catherine.

Wang Chuan said that he is a fan of her movie. Today's movie is very good and he likes it very much.

Catherine thanked Wang Chuan for his liking, and then said that she was very interested in Huaxia. She also read some books and movies about Huaxia in her spare time. The long history of Huaxia fascinated her even more.

"If you asked for her autograph just now, it would be even better if you wanted to take a photo with her." Lin Tong regretted not reminding Wang Chuan in advance, "She likes the feeling of being sought after."

"is it?"

Wang Chuan actually wanted to say that he liked it too.

But meaningless politeness is really... meaningless.

Not to mention that after Lin Tong introduced that Wang Chuan was very popular in Huaxia and won the best screenwriter in Cannes this year, she directly bypassed the subject and began to like Huaxia.

Jones also said that he hoped to go to Huaxia, but she didn't say anything after she liked it for a long time.
