Factory Director Han’s words reveal a simple fact: the first time is the most unforgettable.

Although Su Changqing's works in the past two years have been highly productive and high-quality, his achievements in the world of cinema are probably unparalleled. In 1997, he won three major European film festival awards. In the spring of 1998, he has already won the Golden Globe, the Berlin Silver Bear and the Oscar.

Film nomination.

There are three awards every year. It is no exaggeration to say that he is an award harvester.

But these awards have been won by people from mainland China before. Su Changqing is not the first person. It is true that he won faster and more concentratedly. It was amazing that he buzzed several times in a row.

What is the first thing to be particularly impressive? Director Zhang was the first to win the Berlin Golden Bear and the Venice Golden Lion, and Brother Kai was the first to win in Cannes, so he was immediately remembered by everyone, even if he wants to forget.

No, there are other people who won international awards later on, but people who are not in the industry or senior movie fans probably don’t know much about it.

Kai Ge, in particular, has only one movie that he can really produce in his life. Because he is the first person in Cannes in mainland China and his status in the film industry is unshakable, he can still make money no matter how bad a movie he makes.

So far, the only award that mainland China has not won is the Oscar. Whoever wins it will become a blockbuster, even if it is a veteran who has already won many awards before.

Of course, high quality and high production have advantages. Su Changqing nominated two films this time, which is a double insurance for winning awards, so the candidate was up early in the morning and called to encourage him.

Su Changqing is the third mainland director to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film after Director Zhang and Kai Ge. Director Zhang was previously nominated for "Ju Dou" and "Raise the Red Lantern", and Kai Ge goes without saying.

However, Su Changqing has two firsts. He is the first in Mainland China to be nominated for Best Director and the first to be nominated for Best Screenplay.

But currently it is a nomination, not an award, and Best Director is basically a running runner-up. This year, this award must go to Cameron.

It’s hard to say which screenplay was best. The Golden Globe went to “L.A. Confidential”.

"The Embalmer" has a unique theme, a strong humanistic atmosphere, and its artistic value is understandable. However, it is too niche after all. How many people will really like this funeral story?

The Oscars pay special attention to screenwriting, which is the foundation of the film industry, and have set up two awards for this: Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay.

It is precisely because of this emphasis that foreign language films have never won the best screenwriter, which means that Hollywood does not value foreign storytelling abilities.

In fact, Su Changqing's goal tonight is very low. If he can win one award for two films, it will be regarded as completing the Grand Slam stage task. There is still a long way to go. Let's wait and see.

Leo is very happy during this period and is particularly energetic at work. His achievements are also good. He is the third mainland photographer to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Cinematography after Gu Changwei and Lu Le.

There were also many phone calls from home to encourage him, and he replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you win or not, the important thing is to participate. The important thing is to participate."

At this point, all I can do is brag like this.

The influence of Hollywood is currently at its peak. Just a nomination for Best Cinematography in Hollywood can help Leo's career to a higher level. Even if he leaves the four-dimensional circle to develop on his own, he can at least open a branded wedding studio all over the country.

Su Changqing knew that Li Ao had some opinions in private. As a veteran of Four Dimensions, he was dissatisfied even though he had gained both fame and fortune: "I wonder how some people's judgment seems to have become so good. Back then, they clearly had no money, but they still worked in movies and TV shows.

In addition, we also opened clothing, photo studios, advertising and other companies, covering all possible businesses."

This is of course referring to Su Changqing. After he received a sum of money for Tianyan to customize "My Sassy Girl", he immediately registered a company for all the industries that a film and television organization could be involved in.

Now that Leo is in charge of the 4D Photography Agency, he feels that he is tied up and unable to develop on his own. Sometimes he can't help but envy Zhou Lanhua. Although he cooperates with Su Changqing and uses the resources of 4D, he can run his own training school at the same time.

As his fame grew, of course Li Ao also wanted to start his own business, but he did not dare to offend Su Changqing or even put forward ideas.

In fact, Su Changqing had noticed it a long time ago and told him that as long as his business did not overlap with that of the 4D Photography Agency, he was free to do whatever he wanted.

But Leo is a photographer. Besides opening a photo studio, what kind of freedom does he have? Once he opens his own photo studio, he will have to leave the 4D Photography Agency, and his future film cooperation with Su Changqing will also be in doubt.

Leo once wanted to get Chen Jin to set up a training school for clothing, photography, and modeling, but he was rejected.

Chen Jin is a very traditional person. For her, kindness and loyalty are more important than money. She said that she has made enough money now, which is far beyond what she imagined when she came to work.

So everything has pros and cons. Perhaps this Oscar nomination can give Leo a lot of courage to break away from the fourth dimension and work alone.

There are many such things in the film industry. Director Zhang, Gu Changwei, etc. all came through this way.

Since Chen Jin helped Adjani customize some clothes that combine Chinese and Western elements, her ideas have opened up a lot, and her works have become more and more abstract. The long dress she designed and made for Mu Mu this time is particularly aura.

The textile industry began to undergo a major reshuffle in the mid-1990s. A large number of unprogressive textile companies in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai closed down. This stimulated the enthusiasm of other companies for innovation. In a short period of time, a large number of traditional fabrics were introduced to bring out new ones, or were remade from the old.

After working with Chen Jin for a long time, Su Changqing also gradually understood what Sangbo and plain crepe are, and what are silk, yarn, spinning, silk, silk, wan, Luo, Qi and brocade.

Chen Jin is most interested in brocade. She said that according to the place of origin, there are Yun brocade, Zhuang brocade and Shu brocade. Among them, Yuehua brocade, Yusi brocade and Huanhua brocade are particularly beautiful and are often used in daily designs.

The gauze also includes fragrant cloud gauze, light gauze, and dark floral gauze. Chen Jin likes to use light gauze to design skirts.

Speaking of which, each fabric has a profound heritage and may have a story that transcends the previous year. In Chen Jin's eyes, all of this is spiritual.

She said to Su Changqing: "Brother, it's a pity that I don't know how to make up stories, otherwise I would write a story about the Weaver Girl."

Maybe this is a good subject and can be photographed beautifully, but the subject matter has a large capacity and is more suitable for filming into a TV series.

Rich traditional fabrics give Chen Jin greater creative space. Mu Mu's dress uses a large amount of black and white silk, and the embroidery is also extremely exquisite. In comparison, Kano Chizu's luxurious kimono pales in comparison.

Most people in China can't tell the types of traditional fabrics, but the Japanese understand it very well. Chizu Kano claimed that her black kimono was made of fabrics from the Book of Songs: "Mongolian crepe, crepe is shrunk Burma, currently it is

Japan’s most advanced silk fabric.”

This is indeed what Japan promotes. Their clothing fabrics are derived from the Book of Songs, and their methods of stealing orthodoxy are much better than Koreans.

Chen Jin touched the kimono: "It's similar to our wrinkled silk, and the pattern is obviously imitating that of the Song Dynasty."

Kano Chizu's kimonos are of traditional colors and are more original. The modern design of the kimono fabric pattern incorporates the Ukiyo-e style, giving it a stronger Japanese flavor.

In the evening, David Landau called and the car he helped prepare came to pick him up at seven o'clock on time.
