Adjani did some research before coming here, and was very interested in the hutongs and courtyard houses in Beijing. She once proposed that she would live in Hehua Hutong these days, and everyone would greet each other morning and night.

Su Changqing didn't agree. He died early in the morning. Please say hello. The foreign information was too unreliable. What he wrote was all nonsense.

Currently, there are many inconveniences in living in a courtyard house. Now that the weather is cold, heating and bathing are all handled by your own small boiler, which is not as convenient and comfortable as a big hotel.

In the end, Adjani stayed at the Beijing Hotel. Su Changqing told her that this hotel was built almost a hundred years ago and was first opened by the French. She could stay there to remember the history.

Adjani felt strange: "Why am I reminded of this? A hundred years ago, my grandfather was a Turk and later immigrated to Germany. My father's generation became French."

This person may be of Turkic descent, but fortunately he is not related to Su Changqing.

It is convenient to stay at the Beijing Hotel. There are very authentic Sichuan cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, and Cantonese cuisine. There are three of the four major cuisines. It is much more convenient to eat. In addition, there are also Western food and Japanese food to mix.

During those nights in Venice, Ben Shanzi and Ge You boasted a lot about delicious food, and some of them had to be fulfilled.

Adjani was on a work trip this time and had to concentrate on dubbing. Su Changqing did not alert the media or notify the Chinese friends she made in Venice, otherwise they would all come over to entertain her, which would waste time in socializing.

Work started on the second day after arriving, arranging activities during the dubbing break. Su Changqing, Mu Mu and Liu Yufei took turns to accompany them to visit the Forbidden City, Royal Harmony Garden, the Great Wall and other scenic spots.

Adjani did a lot of homework. When visiting the Forbidden City, she pointed at the Hall of Supreme Harmony and said excitedly: "I have seen this palace in "Model Team" and "The Princess's Decision". It is so majestic."

The Palace of Supreme Harmony was indeed filmed in "Princess's Decision", and "Model Team" was actually filmed in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Ordinary Chinese people may not be able to tell the difference. She obviously made a mistake.

The production of "The Piano Teacher" is coming to an end, and Adjani proposed to send it to the Berlin Film Festival for exhibition: "This year's Berlin Film Festival is on February 11th, which is earlier than in previous years. We have to hurry up and send it to the exhibition."

If art films cannot win awards, they are likely to lose money. The film industry is complementary to each other. Art films and various awards are interdependent. This is the law of business.

I have to send it to the exhibition, but Su Changqing probably won't have time to spend more than ten days at the film festival. He will have to stay in the United States for a lot of time after New Year's Day. In conjunction with the Golden Globes, in addition to the Oscar, he also has to find actors and select locations for "Zombieland". The progress is

If it's a little slower, we won't be able to catch up with the start of filming in early March, and we won't be able to catch up with the summer schedule.

So he gave the job to Adjani: "I have made too many movies this year, and a lot of work has been accumulated at the beginning of the year. I am afraid that you are the only one responsible for participating in the Berlin Film Festival. I will try my best to arrive before the awards ceremony."

Su Changqing listed "The Piano Teacher" as one of the eight films to be released in cooperation with Paramount. It does not require a premiere in Berlin. The work of participating in the exhibition is relatively simple and mainly time-consuming.

Although Adjani felt regretful and even had some objections, she could only do this.

"You should slow down a little. You are already one of the most famous directors in the world and a successful entrepreneur. Why do you have such a busy schedule? You should slow down and enjoy life."

Su Changqing also felt that he was too busy. In the five years since his rebirth, he had basically been running smoothly and had done more things than he had done in the previous fifty years.

This may also be a kind of anxiety. He is always worried about missing something and leaving regrets. Even his mother said to him: "You are a capitalist roader who keeps walking and is not willing to take a break. I am tired just looking at you."

Su Changqing is indeed busy and happy, not feeling tired at all. His life is like a second-level game. The more he plays, the easier it becomes. He also opens many dungeons that were not available before, making it more novel and interesting.

However, as the achievement scores get higher and higher, the sense of reality becomes less and less, and sometimes I can’t help but think: "Maybe there is no rebirth, I just took a nap too deep in the office, and this is all a dream."

When she woke up from the dream, she was haggard in the wind, so Su Changqing cherished every moment even more.

In principle, Oscar nominations are proposed by various departments under the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences after January 1st. However, by mid-December, the dust was basically settled, and the nominated films gradually leaked out.

David Landau also reported the latest news: "The Embalmer and Black Swan have been nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Award. In addition, your The Embalmer has been nominated for Best Screenplay and Best Original Score.

"Swan" was nominated for Best Director and Cinematography, meaning your work received a total of six nominations."

The two films received six nominations. Su Changqing's mood was really complicated and he was not sure whether he should be happy or not.

In addition to being nominated for Best Foreign Language Film for Farewell My Concubine, Gu Changwei was also nominated for Best Cinematography, but was rarely mentioned.

He knew in his heart that except for the Best Foreign Language Film Award, which was more prestigious, the other nominations were basically in the running. When it came to "Titanic", other films would be unlucky.

Moreover, David Landau also told Su Changqing: "Because "Titanic" was seriously overrun, Cameron gave up the director's fee and the production fee, and even said that he would not need to pay any dividends after the release of the film, but he could not pay a penny for the screenwriter's fee.

Shao, one of the key points of this public relations is to ensure the nomination and win the Oscar for Best Screenplay, so..."

He said that because of Su Changqing's article "I Really Don't Want to Take the Titanic", Cameron was a little traumatized and couldn't think about it, so he got into trouble with it.

So I'm afraid Su Changqing won't get the best screenwriter award, and his two films obviously require less directing ability than "Titanic", so he won't get the best director award either.

As for music and photography, it would be great to have a nomination. I’ll try my best next time.

David Landau also said: "There are no secrets in Hollywood. There are a lot of big mouths in Paramount. It seems that the fact that Cameron plagiarized you has been leaked out a long time ago, which also made him particularly angry."

He didn't even use the word "suspected". It seems that the eyes of the Hollywood crowd are bright.

In fact, the last time I went to David Landau's house for a dinner, Su Changqing was surprised that both DiCaprio and Kate Winslet knew about the copyright transfer. The level of confidentiality was too poor.

In fact, "Titanic" won't be released for a few days, and the nomination status has not been released yet, but Paramount predicts that more than ten nominations will be indispensable, and they are very confident about this.

Facts have also proved that confidence is guaranteed. "Titanic" finally received 14 nominations and won 11 awards, making it the biggest winner this year.

However, although Cameron won Best Picture and Best Director, his most competitive Best Screenplay was not even nominated, let alone won.

The screenwriter of the Best Picture was not nominated, which is the first time in the history of the Oscars. It can only be said that the Film Academy and its members are not only well-informed, but also have a strong sense of justice.

Cameron was so angry at home that he beat the doll: "I hate you!"

Su Changqing silently raised her middle finger across the Pacific Ocean.

The dubbing was completed on December 16th, and Su Changqing completed the final synthesis work of "The Piano Teacher" on the 19th. On this day, "Titanic" was released in North America.

Adjani left Beijing on the 21st and rushed back to Europe to spend Christmas with her family.

Su Changqing boarded the 4D and flew to Tokyo.
