In the March issue, when Sun Qiang finally arrived at Stars and Sea with a few classmates and applied for a job with his Turtle diploma, a photo with Jiang Yan, etc., Jiang Yan had already landed in Los Angeles.
This time when Jiang Yan came to the United States, in addition to attending the Oscars, he also came to see his friends and to finalize his cooperation with Sony.
This year's Oscar nominations were announced on January 11th.
Jiang Yan did not receive a nomination this time, which is a pity for a group of domestic media, but this does not affect the enthusiasm of Jiang Yan and the main creators, because now almost everyone in the Hollywood industry knows that waiting for this year's "The Ring"
"Lord of the Rings 3" is released. If the box office and quality are within expectations, "Lord of the Rings 3" will sweep next year's Oscars.
This is indeed the case. At next year's Oscars, "Lord of the Rings 3" won a total of 11 awards, making it the most beautiful movie of the year. As the composer of the soundtrack and theme song, Jiang Yan will also win two trophies again.
.
Jiang Yan is actually looking forward to these awards now. After all, he also put in a lot of work for the soundtrack and sound effects editing of "The Lord of the Rings"...
Of course, the reason why Jiang Yan looks forward to it so much is actually because of money.
It is impossible for a company not to value money.
Two "Lord of the Rings" films have been released so far, and the global box office has reached close to 1 billion US dollars. According to the split, Jiang Yan's 80 million investment has already earned more than 300 million yuan, which is enough for him to make a living in Hollywood in the next few years.
Expenditure.
It is also because of this that Jiang Yan decided to start another movie this year in addition to "Fast and Furious". He has already thought about the movie project. If he doesn't do anything else, he will make science fiction. He is still very interested in "Source Code".
In addition to this movie, Jiang Yan also wants to make a comedy. He feels that a movie like "Night at the Museum" should be very suitable. It is not difficult to adapt, and it can subtly export a wave of culture in the midst of laughter.
Having said that, when it comes to Oscar, Jiang Yan can be said to be ahead of all Chinese.
So when I came to attend the Oscars this time, Lao Mouzi and his big-mouthed partner Zhang Weiping also came with me.
When they get there, they will meet with Jiang Zhiqiang, saying that they will learn from it for "Hero" to be released in the United States this year and to compete for the Oscar for Best Picture next year.
In fact, the businessman Zhang Weiping was the most active in this matter, while Lao Mouzi was more rational.
He and Jiang Yan actually have similar thoughts. He doesn't think the Oscar is very important to the Chinese people, and Chinese films don't need Oscar recognition. However, this Shaanxi man Zhang Weiping has the final say now, and he can't make the final decision on many things.
For example, the later "Chrysanthemum Terrace" added popular singers and "Three Guns".
But having said that, Lao Mouzi actually still yearns for the Hollywood industry, such as the later "The Great Wall"... Hey!
Generally speaking, Lao Mouzi, or the current domestic filmmakers, actually have a fascination for the Hollywood industry represented by the Oscars.
Everyone always wants to use Hollywood's advanced technology and market to achieve some lofty goal while gaining Western recognition.
Jiang Yan reserves his opinion on this. He knows that without trial and error in many things, they will not know the cruelty of the truth inside, because they do not have a perspective like Jiang Yan. If they speak or persuade, they may be criticized.
Scolding, why bother...
….
After landing in Los Angeles, Lao Mouzi and others met up with Jiang Zhiqiang, while Jiang Yan went to make an appointment with Kobe and the others.
There is actually a Lakers game tonight, but Jiang Yan has no plans to go.
Because tonight's game is special.
Today's game is the Lakers vs. Rockets at home.
Both teams have friends of Jiang Yan, but the situation of both teams is not very good.
After winning three consecutive championships, the Lakers began to undergo intense turmoil.
The conflict between O'Neal and Kobe began to deepen. His rookie contract expired, and he was traded to the Rockets with a high salary before this year's season.
Kobe vs.
It's generally uncomfortable for the management to trade away, and O'Neal is the same, but there is no way, the approximate value has been hit, and if you don't trade, you have to pay the luxury tax, and this situation will continue next year, so O'Neal and Kobe may have to leave.
And this is also the root cause of the conflict between the two.
Because of this, Kobe and O'Neal no longer speak in private.
So in today's game, fans in China and the United States want to see the Rockets beat the Lakers to prove that the Lakers management made a wrong decision to trade away Big Zhi in exchange for some garbage. But at the same time, if the Lakers lose, many media
There will be continuous reports on the completion of the "ok" group.
So the game became very awkward.
In such an awkward game, Jiang Yan still wants to watch a bird.
When the time comes, you will be asked, do you support your national team teammates or the Lakers?
It seemed like there was no good answer to this question, so I decided not to watch it to save trouble. Fortunately, his reason was very good. He was going to New York to discuss cooperation with the female singer from Sony soon.
Abandoning a brother for a woman is better than falling into that quagmire. At the same time, Jiang Yan can brush up on scandals and build momentum for the song, how great.
Having said that, when we were having dinner in Los Angeles, O'Neal, Kobe and Dazhi were all there. Everyone at the dinner table was very normal, and it seemed that they didn't want Jiang Yan to know about some of the contradictions inside.
Jiang Yan also understood this intention, so at the dinner table Jiang Yan sent O'Neal a guest invitation in film and television. The specific role will be discussed later.
O'Neill was very happy after hearing this. He liked this.
Then the rest of the meal was all about movies and TV shows, which made the atmosphere at the dinner table less awkward.
After dinner, O'Neal left first. He knew that Jiang Yan was going to Kobe's house. With his high emotional intelligence, he would naturally know what to do. The same was true for Dazhi. He said he was going back to train and try to beat the Lakers at night. This also caused
Here comes Kobe's disdain.
Later, Jiang Yan and Kobe returned to his home, and Kobe started complaining in the car, saying that this was not good and that was not good. In short, the current situation was terrible.
Jiang Yan just listened and said nothing. When he arrived at his house, he ignored Kobe and picked up the little "Oscar" to play with him. When the play was almost done and it was time for Jiang Yan to leave, Jiang Yan and Kobe
said:
"Stretch out your hand."
Kobe didn't know why, but he still did it.
Jiang Yan looked at the black hand and asked, "Can your ring fit on one hand?"
When Kobe heard this, he was stunned for a moment and then smiled and said, "Of course!"
"I do not believe."
"Just watch it!"
"Okay, don't make me wait too long!"
After saying that, Jiang Yan, Vanessa and others waved goodbye, then got in the car and left.
Kobe seemed to be greatly inspired, and immediately decided to start training soon. If he didn't dismantle the Rockets tonight, he wouldn't be named Kobe!
This made Vanessa on the side look at her and shake her head.
She really doesn't understand what channel these two people are communicating on...
After the Oscars on the 3rd, Jiang Yan stayed in the United States for more than a week. After basically completing the song cooperation with Sony, he received a call from Andy, and then flew directly to Hong Kong.
This time, it was a major event in the original time and space.
Guorong passed away.
As the son of half of Xiangjiang, Jiang Yan had to go to express his condolences...
