More than a decade later, Jackma also bought a large winery in Bordeaux. Although his actions were slower than his good friend Xiao Yanzi, he bought a very formal professional winery with AOP protection, which really focuses on brewing.

Life is really fast. Now Jack Horse's career is just starting, and its main business has not yet been launched. However, he retired and considered brewing and retirement in just over a decade.

The world seemed to be as big as he thought, and it was almost done soon. It was not as good as the old man named Li from Hong Kong Island.

The castle bought by Su Changqing also has Bordeaux wine production certification, producing red wines of the same name as the castle.

Mu Mu's name is Dishan Castle, and Liu Yufei's name is Baudelaire Castle, which is less than ten kilometers apart.

Both castles cover a large area, ranging from seventy to eighty hectares.

Winemaking requires considerable space. The winery has long been stripped from the castle. A few decades ago, an antique workshop and wine cellar were built in a corner of the manor.

To produce red wines that are limited to Bordeaux's production areas, not only are the grape varieties limited to six types such as Cabernet Sauvignon, but there are also national standards for equipment and factories. If these castles want to maintain the production of qualified Bordeaux red wine, they have to hire a professional team to manage them.

Therefore, the three bought by Su Changqing each had a team of over 100 people managing the production of the winery and the castle interior, which was also expensive every year. Fortunately, the wine production and quality were good, and the labor and maintenance costs were basically self-sufficient.

Because they chose top castles, the builders at the time compared each other, so many facilities were basically the same, including room-temperature swimming pools, gyms, saunas, gardens, tennis courts, golf courses, vineyards and other facilities, which were not far from the main roads and were convenient for transportation.

Mumu's castle has a forest with lakes and its natural landscape is very charming. Liu Yufei's castle has a horse farm, which is equipped with orange orchards and horse racing tracks, making it more noble.

Both of them had been to the castle before, and they became familiar with the environment beyond acceptance. Only Su Changqing was here for the first time. Anyway, they were close, so they spent time visiting both castles, like visiting someone else's home.

On the first day, the three of them stayed at Mumu's Di Shang Castle.

This beautiful castle was built in the 11th century and was renovated in the 15th century. It not only retains the charm of the medieval period and also has the splendor of the Renaissance.

The interior decoration of the castle is as luxurious and exquisite as its exterior, displaying many porcelain, tapestries, landscapes, and still life oil paintings.

Mu Mu said that some of the portraits of the castle were originally passed down for a long time, and I don’t know who it belonged to, but she replaced them and put them away.

"The men and women in the portraits all had gloomy faces, none of them smiled and looked terrified."

Serious oil portraits have this problem. In fact, it is not that people in the past lived a very upset life. Painting is a long process, and no one can keep smiling all the time, so painters are so stern to make the picture consistent.

The same is true when photography first emerged. Film exposure takes a long time, and photographers have to ask the subject to be taken to remain serious and not to laugh at the picture.

The furniture of Di Shang Castle was from the 17th century and has been around for more than 300 years. It is carved with complex patterns, with shiny and heavy wood grains, and is full of vicissitudes.

Su Changqing felt that as long as the castle was slightly darker, it would be quite suitable to shoot all vampire films from Dracula to Van Helsing to the Twilight City later.

"Living in a place like this can do something bold and taboo without any pressure."

Standing in the center of the living room with a height of 300 square meters, Su Changqing couldn't help but talk to himself.

"What taboo thing do you want to do?"

Mu Mu and Liu Yufei hugged each other, as if they were going to dance a swan dance, and asked with a smile not far behind them.

Su Changqing turned around and the afternoon sun seemed to penetrate the bodies of the two people, a little dazzling and a little weird.

"I want to eat you guys."

Not long after arriving in Bordeaux, Hollywood reported the results of the Golden Globes. "Road" won the Best Director and Best Screenwriter, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Best Foreign Language Film and Best Music.

The best film in Golden Ball is Mr. Ridley's "Gladiator".

This Golden Globe Awards made a big splash in Chinese films, and Su Changqing won two important goals, Best Director and Screenwriter, which lived up to expectations.

He was a little disappointed that he did not win the Best Picture or the Best Foreign Language Film, but from the very beginning he understood that the goal he should surpass was not "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but "Gladiator".

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released in China in July last year. If it weren't for winning the Oscar later, it would have a bad reputation. No one expected that this film would have successfully won the Oscar for the best foreign language film.

After all, this is more of a film customized for Western audiences. The screenwriter, like Director Zhang's "The Great Wall", is written by foreigners, and the plot is easy to confuse domestic audiences.

It can be said that from cultural interest to martial arts design, the movie is not very consistent with the popularity of China today. For example, the heroes in the minds of Chinese people are far away from the government, but the ones in the crouching tiger, Hidden Dragon all have a close relationship with the government. Even if they retire, they have to give their swords to the capital, Beile, as if they were a six-door constable, and they were about to retire.

The characters inside also have a strong Mandarin duck butterfly style, and they are still half-human and half-immortal, which is probably unbearable for the audience.

The reason why it gives people the feeling of flying is that the martial arts design is awkward, the hang of the Asia-Pacific Ocean is obvious, and the slow movements make people anxious to watch.

However, after winning the award, everyone was embarrassed to say something. In fact, if "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" did not win the award, it would be a chance to have an encounter with John Woo's "Red Cliff". The foreign costume is not popular. The latter was filmed for more than ten years late and its reputation turned out to be bad.

The gap between top filmmakers is difficult to measure. At least the height of the times, Su Changqing's screenwriter "Road" is at the height of the times, driving plug-ins that others cannot reach, avoiding many aesthetic, cultural and political pitfalls. His reputation prevailed from the beginning, and the facts proved that the box office was much better, so the subsequent Oscar performance was more worth looking forward to.

The main competitor of "Road" Oscar is undoubtedly "Gladiator". This is a good film. It was introduced in China and Su Changqing also watched it.

British director Ridley is a science fiction movie giant, and his representative works include "Alien", "Blade Runner", "Blade Hawk Down", "Martian Rescue", etc. Su Changqing likes his works very much.

What’s amazing is that the old man nominated individual awards four times, the Golden Globe Awards five times, and the British Academy Awards six times, but he didn’t win any awards once, and he was always so meaningless.

According to Su Changqing's analysis, Ridley is good at telling stories and playing suspense, is good at composition, and the picture is very impactful, forming a distinct personal style.

The reason why I have been with the major awards for a long time is largely due to the common problem of science fiction directors. I choose routines for business considerations, and the story is not rigorous and eventually becomes less serious.

Xiao Gangpao said that he hates science fiction movies and that nonsense is meaningless. Although his words are quite extreme, it undoubtedly represents the value orientation of some people in the industry.

"Gladiator" also continues Ridley's storytelling routine, which is quite bloody.

This movie is about a general who has basically mastered the Roman Empire. After repeated warnings, he was framed by the emperor's son without any intention, causing his family to be destroyed and his family to be destroyed and gradually became a slave gladiator.

I don’t know how he led his troops to fight in those years, nor why the emperor’s son didn’t kill him happily, but instead he arrogantly raised the Gu until the end of the plot.

This story looks bloody, but it has historical prototypes. There is indeed a similar person in Roman history who started to fight as a slave gladiator, redeemed himself as a citizen step by step, then joined the army and became a general, and finally seized the throne and became a Roman emperor. It was similar to ordinary mutinies and usurpations of the throne, although he was killed after only one year of being an emperor.

Originally, it would be enough to tell such a story well. Ridley insisted on changing it into a routine, and the general first became a slave, and his whole family was killed and deeply revengeful of blood, and then he then captured the empire by challenging the emperor on the arena.

I don’t know which emperor would be so stupid as to accept such a challenge, but he arranged the story of a Western Rose Knight’s Dragon Quest to a deceptive military and national event.

It can be said that when the emperor was angry and went to the arena to participate in the fight, the whole plot collapsed, and all the previous statements were in vain.

So although the film was grand, Russell Crowe, who played the general, and Joaquin Phoenix, who was both recognized for his acting skills, the screenwriter failed and the director won nothing.

I hope the Oscar judges can also look at them.

As soon as the news of the award came out, Su Changqing answered many calls, most of which were congratulations, and there were quite a lot of media people who were curious about where he was and why he neither attended the award ceremony nor accepted interviews.

Su Changqing blamed himself for being too careless and had no idea how to deal with the media after winning the award. If he was known to take Mu Mu and Liu Yufei Bordeaux on vacation, he might have been hyped up.

But at night, he didn't care when he saw the two beauties beside him.

"I'm going to haunt tonight, so I don't care how they dig a grave."
