257. The first Oscar nominated film

Su Butong really didn't know Huang Yuan, after all, he only met this person today. He didn't usually deal with the film and television industry. Apart from some celebrities in this industry, he really didn't know much about these domestic directors.

It's embarrassing to say that before time travel, most of the movies Su Butong watched in the 1980s were Hong Kong and Hollywood movies. He didn't pay much attention to domestic movies.

But in the eyes of others, Su Butong's words were very sarcastic.

Who is Huang Yuan?

Huang Yuan is the proud disciple of the fourth-generation Chinese director Yan Dong and the director of "Wild Mountain Village". The films he has directed before can be said to have made many stars famous. It can be said that everyone in the entire Chinese film and television circle knows about it.

.

But Su Butong said, "Who is he?"

Huang Yuan's face turned red with anger, and he didn't know how to refute.

Because he found that he didn't know the person who said this.

In this drama, the most famous one is Xiao Qing, followed by Wang Yue. Jiang Wenyuan is a newcomer, and Feng Lei is a newcomer. As for this young man who says he doesn't know him, he will only degrade himself if he fights back.

So he sneered angrily and said, "Are you just talking about your words? You guys are just taking the audience's fate for today's prize."

Su Butong laughed angrily and said, "This award is set by your family. What do you say it will be?"

Huang Yuan said with an ugly face: "Didn't anyone tell you what everyone in the industry knows? Now I tell you with great mercy, if you know better, take him away quickly to avoid embarrassment."

Su Butong said "Yo", then turned to Xiaoqing and others: "It seems that our colleagues don't welcome us, but I heard that our film was selected for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film."

After Huang Yuan heard the news, his originally solemn face couldn't help but laugh: "A movie like yours can still be selected for the Oscars? Didn't you remember it wrong? It's a fake Oscar, right?"

Several actors who appeared in "Wild Mountain Village" nearby also laughed.

Angry, Xiaoqing glared at them several times. These actors knew that Xiaoqing had a bad temper and were not easy to mess with, so they immediately restrained themselves, but they still couldn't hide the mocking smiles on their faces.

Everyone knows that there are only a few most prestigious foreign film awards now. Oscar, is this person daydreaming?

Jiang Wenyuan quietly poked Xiao Qing: "Our film was selected for the Oscars? Is it true? Why didn't I hear the director say it?"

Xiaoqing said angrily: "Su Butong's mouth is a liar. I believe his lies. He is probably just looking for trouble with us."

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Su Butong touched his ears. Is it difficult for a Chinese film to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language? As long as you follow the foreign rules of the game, it is actually not difficult at all.

Just listen to the leader of the cultural department continue to speak: "This year, the country's film production has been fruitful, especially according to reliable information, the film "August 1st Flag Flying", which was independently shot by our filmmakers and assisted by Hollywood in the United States, entered the Oscar category.

The proposed list of nominees for foreign language films. This is the first film of our country to go abroad in recent years, and it is an excellent film theme that highlights our culture..." This was the second time the leader mentioned Wang Yue's film in his speech.

Huang Yuan was shocked when he heard this.

"Oscar?" This is the name of the film award that Chinese filmmakers first knew after the opening of the country. And now, "August 1st Flag Flying" that no one in the domestic industry is optimistic about has this honor and is selected as the best foreign language film?

There is no national recommendation or industry recommendation, so why should they?

There is a shady story! There must be a shady story!

He couldn't help but stand up.

Since he was sitting in the first row, it was particularly awkward for him to stand up.

"What's wrong?" The leader was stunned.

"Why can their movie be selected for the Oscars? Can a movie recommended by the industry be sent to the Oscars without the negotiation of our film studio?" Huang Yuan couldn't help but think, if his "Wild Mountain Village" was sent to Hollywood, maybe it would also be sent to Hollywood.

What kind of nominations can you get? You can even win an award!

unfair!

So he stood up and interrupted the leader's speech.

Yu Zheng was a little anxious when he saw Huang Yuan standing up, and quickly motioned for him to sit down. But Huang Yuan was angry now, and he didn't want to sit down unless the leader explained to him.

"Su Budong, please explain." The leader took a sip of water and nodded directly.

"Do you know me?" Su Butong was confused. He just asked Liu Jianshe from the Planning Committee to find out who the leader was in attendance. Then he asked Liu Jianshe for help, contacted the leader's secretary, and changed the leader's speech.

He added some achievements in his movie to the speech. If he had known that the leader knew him, he would not have gone through this trouble.

When the leader heard this, he laughed and said: "You are teaching us in Huairen Hall, and your speech is printed and distributed nationwide. Who among us who are in charge of culture has not read your speech? Stop ink and explain to them why.

"The Bayi Flag Flying" was selected for the Oscars, and I'm also curious, how did you get through this?"

Yu Zheng couldn't sit still.

Huairen Hall? Is that a place where anyone can go?

That manuscript? Yu Zheng remembered it a little bit. They were still organizing a study of that speech manuscript, but it was actually said by this young man?

Yu Zheng really wanted to give himself a break. If he had known earlier that this young man made the movie, he would have definitely given it a consolation prize or something.

It's a good thing now, there is nothing!

Su Butong said: "Because our film was purchased by Columbia Pictures for US$3 million for distribution rights in the United States, Columbia Pictures directly contacted the Oscar Awards Committee. I really don't know how it was done.

"It's very clear." Subudong is so treacherous. How could he reveal the truth to the public? The bribery of the judges should be disclosed to the public in public. Anyway, just push the matter to Columbia Pictures and it will be over.

After receiving Su Butong's confirmation, the whole place was in a commotion.

The first is to acquire the film for US$3 million.

How big a number is this?

People nowadays can't imagine it. After all, their current filming funds are only ten or two hundred thousand.

Secondly, this is the first Chinese film to be selected for an Oscar. Regardless of the Chinese industry's reputation for this film, this film is destined to go down in history.

This is a depressing reality.

Not to mention that at today's Golden Flower Awards, almost everyone knew that this movie had no awards.

This is a naked satire, a wonderful black satirical comedy.

A film that did not win any awards at the country's top film awards was selected for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. This is equivalent to telling the Chinese and foreigners that our Chinese industry's vision is not good enough.

Yu Zheng's face was flushed with shame.

He was a little anxious. Because he also thought of this at the same time, he called a staff member and told the staff member: "Change the awards that will be awarded later."

The staff was stunned: "The words are all engraved on them, how can I change them? Moreover, the awarding process is already on the rostrum, and the awards are all decided."

"Don't ask me what to do, I want you to do it now and think of all possible ways!" Yu Zheng gritted his teeth.

Originally, he wanted to vent his anger to his uncle, but there was no problem in venting his anger, as long as his official position was not involved. Thinking of this, he was a little scared. He was afraid that Su Budong would cause some trouble. Then he would

He was really nailed to the pillar of shame.
