In the original time and space, the "Lord of the Rings" series of films have won a total of 351 international awards and been nominated for 284, including 17 Academy Awards.
Among them, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" has won 11 Academy Awards, tied with "Ben-Hur" and "Titanic" to become the most awarded film in Oscar film history.
There are many awards, and if you invest, Stars and Sea will indeed leave a mark in history, but in reality it doesn’t matter much.
It's not a project led by Stars and Seas. It would be too far-fetched to rely on this small amount of investment to claim honors. It would be more solid than Jiang Yan participating in the soundtrack and winning an award.
Besides, whether people vote for it or not is a question.
However, regarding whether it is possible to invest, although the current feedback from Rick Porras of New Line is not clear, it seems that there is still a hole left.
So he told Lao Fan about this matter. Didn't Lao Fan know the boss of New Line? He asked him to ask what was going on.
Lao Fan smiled and said: "I don't know Rick Boras, but he is a small character after all. How can I be reliable as a New Line boss?"
Jiang Yan asked: "How about you go and have a chat?"
"This film has a budget of 200 million US dollars, can you afford it?"
"Two hundred million?"
Jiang Yan thought to himself, the final total investment for the film "Original Time and Space" was 281 million, which was short of tens of millions of additional funds. If you put it this way, there is really a chance.
So he said, "Let's talk first. If there is a chance to invest, I will make money. I may not be able to raise hundreds of millions, but tens of millions is still possible, but it will have to be after mid-January."
Money in the stock market can be harvested after mid-January.
At present, it seems that the number will be quite large, and part of this money will have to be reinvested. The income of "Lord of the Rings" is more than 10 times, so if you have the opportunity to invest, invest, and you can reap some rewards after investing.
schedule.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t invest. Again, investing in its parent company is also cost-effective.
Lao Fan blinked when he heard this. After all, he didn't ask Jiang Yan where the money came from. He just said that he would try his best to negotiate.
Later, the two agreed to go together when Jiang Yan went to the New Zealand crew to look for inspiration.
He just loves to play, and he has been to New Zealand once and said the scenery there is beautiful, so he went with him this time.
As for the time to go to New Zealand, although Jiang Yan's visa has been issued, considering that there are too many things during this period, and Jiang Yan is not planning to go there on the same day for a formality, so after calculating the time, he just
I can go there after mid-January and before the Spring Festival, and stay there for about a week.
After chatting with Lao Fan, the itinerary for the next few months has been basically decided.
Jiang Yan and Wang Jin and Liu Weiqiang informed that "Infernal Affairs 2" will start filming after the Spring Festival. The investment and other matters of "Infernal Affairs 2" will be left to Wang Jin. I think that in a few days, the Hong Kong film industry will usher in another wave.
shock.
"Dark War" continues to be popular, Zhou Zhiruo and Andy Lau will continue to make announcements, and the mainland release time has been set, so Jiang Yan's affairs in Hong Kong have come to an end for the time being, and it is time to return to the mainland.
Before leaving, Jiang Yan handled one last matter. Lu Dalu called and asked if the mole who was rumored to be "lack of money" last time wanted to meet.
The mole was a team leader of the newspaper. He said he did this because he was short of money. Xiangjiang's economy was not good. He had a family to support, a mortgage to pay, and he couldn't afford to eat. He had many reasons and wanted to beg for mercy.
But who was Lu Dalu? The fact that this guy was raising a mistress outside was all discovered by Lu Dalu's people.
Therefore, Jiang Yan was naturally not interested in meeting this kind of scumbag, nor was he interested in getting involved in other people's emotional affairs, so he asked Lu Dalu to have someone give this scumbag a good meal before going through legal proceedings.
Aren’t you so short of money that you can’t even afford food? Then have a good meal.
Lu Dalu smiled on the phone and said he understood, then hung up the phone, and Jiang Yan also boarded the plane to the capital.
On the other side, several men who looked like big brothers were smoking cigarettes and said seriously to the scum across the table: "If someone wants to treat you to a meal, you have to eat well!"
The scumbag looked at the mountain of dishes on the table, and his stomach turned green.
No. 4, Beijing.
After Jiang Yan communicated with China Film about "Slaying the Wolf" and "Dark War", seeing that it was still early, he stopped by Liu Huan's place.
Liu Huan has been recording the theme song and ending song of "Journey to the West" these days.
Jiang Yan came here just to take a look, as a visiting class.
The two songs "I Want to Become an Immortal" and "Lovesickness" were not written by Jiang Yan, because the composer Sanbao and the lyricist Zhao Xiaoyuan had already taken over the job and finished the songs very quickly. If Jiang Yan came forward to say that he had written it
Song, and then take it out and take a look, it will definitely explode when the time comes.
In the recording studio, Teacher Mao Amin is recording:
"The most willing to forget the ancient poems
The most disdainful thing is lovesickness
Guard your love and be afraid of people laughing
Still afraid that people will see clearly
"
As expected, he is worthy of being the pinnacle Mao Amin. His voice is majestic, vicissitudes of life, very penetrating, and his singing skills are excellent.
But it's strange. Speaking of Mao Amin, the sentence still engraved in Jiang Yan's DNA is:
"Let him feed you Huamei for the rest of his life..."
Oh no, it's "Let him dig coal for you for the rest of his life..."
Well, to apologize, I will still sing that song to you.
After chatting with Liu Huan, Mao Amin and Teacher Sanbao in the recording studio, Jiang Yan set off for the wheat field.
Lizi is also recording these days. She has been recording the song "Rainy Day" on and off for nearly a month.
To be honest, this song is not suitable for Li Zi.
But Jiang Yan doesn't care, he is willful. Unless Lizi says not to do it himself, he will still give it to her even after practicing for a year.
"What should I do if it rains?
I miss you so much
Don't dare to call you
I can't find the reason
What insomnia sound
become so familiar
"
When they came to the recording studio, Jiang Yan, who was hiding behind Zhang Yadong, listened to Lizi singing the entire song.
The effect is pretty good, at least much better than the initial demo.
Judging from the timbre and emotion, it is not as sweet as the original version, but it does not lack the sense of loneliness. At the same time, it also has the free and easy feeling of many mature women.
To be honest, Jiang Yan actually likes Lizi's version better than the original version.
Of course, you still have to continue practicing your singing skills. Zhang Yadong said that it will take about another week of recording to get it done.
The reason it takes so long is mainly because Lizi is only available two or three days a week.
Despite the intermittent situation, it is already good to have such progress.
After finishing the song, Lizi realized that Jiang Yan was coming, so she quickly took off her headphones and ran out.
Then he pounced on Jiang Yan.
"When did you come?" Li Ziba kissed Jiang Yan, then hung on Jiang Yan and asked happily, raising her head.
"Well, I did it a few minutes ago. Don't worry, I didn't hear you go out of tune."
"Oh, did you hear everything?"
Li Zi was ashamed and angry, and turned her hands into palms as if to slap Jiang Yan on the chest.
Jiang Yan used the power of Tai Chi to shift his energy, and the two of them leaned together again.
Li Zi was about to struggle, but Jiang Yan directly passed it mouth to mouth with a breath of innate energy, causing Li Zi to go limp instantly.
This master's sweet move made Zhang Yadong beside him not knowing whether to stand or sit.
So Li Zi nodded at Jiang Yan angrily, and then the two of them looked at each other, understood, and then left the recording studio and went straight to the den.
After the others left, Gao Dajin came in and asked, "Hey, where is Jiang Yan? I asked him to go to dinner with me."
