If only Sun Peng comes to the Magnolia Awards this time, he will undoubtedly be placed in the most conspicuous position and become the subject of frequent camera visits. But this time, in addition to "Heroes", many people also came.
Because in addition to Best Picture and Best Director, it also won Best Costume Design, Best Original Screenplay, Best Action Design and Best Score, for a total of seven nominations.
As the boss of the crew, Sun Peng naturally had to sit with them.
However, Sun Peng spent a lot of time on the way to his seat, because from the big screen in the hall, everyone could see him walking down the red carpet and entering the venue. So this
On the way, Sun Peng had to keep saying hello to the celebrities, and then stop to chat with them at any time.
"Yeah, I guess it will take at least ten minutes to get here!"
From his seat on the "Hero" crew, Wei Xiaolin saw Sun Peng moving forward step by step from a distance, and shrugged helplessly. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to chat with Sun Peng about the preparations for "Terminator 2"
The situation, but looking at it now, when the other party arrived, it was estimated that the awards ceremony was about to start. There was no way. Who made Sun Peng the third to last person to enter the venue, second only to Liang Ren and director Zhang Hailin!
After hearing what he said, Wang Can, the costume designer of "Hero" next to him, smiled and said: "It's quite exaggerated. Even Liang Ren and Zhang Hailin probably didn't have so many people say hello when they came over, right?"
"Haha, it's different."
Wei Xiaolin shook his head and chuckled.
If we talk about his background and connections in the circle, Sun Peng is naturally far behind the two super bosses. But if we talk about his personal influence and strength, to be honest, Wei Xiaolin feels that Lao Bai is now the number one in Chinese movies.
One person!
No matter how good Liang Ren and Zhang Hailin are, how many movies can they make in a year?
As an actor, Liang Ren may be better. He basically shoots one movie a year. At most, he may shoot two or three movies. But as a director, Zhang Hailin is a bit reluctant to make one movie a year and one movie every two years.
That's the normal level. After all, Director Zhang no longer bothers to play with ordinary low- to medium-cost investments, but it takes less than two years for a major Nod to be completed from the beginning of preparation to the final production?
Therefore, in front of the prolific Lao Bai, the two of them have the advantage because of their connections and background.
How many actors can Lao Bai make famous with just a few scripts a year, and how much profit can he bring to the film company? Therefore, Wei Xiaolin can even predict that as long as this situation continues for another two or three years, Zhang Hailin may be in the final position.
It's time to let it out...
"...I've been too busy recently and haven't had time to go to the stadium, but I should be able to after this award ceremony. I should go there once a week in the future. Then see how I torture you!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard about Director Zheng's name for a long time, but I finally met him today."
"Oh, Sister Chen, long time no see."
…
Although Sun Peng rarely attends these star-studded occasions, he has gotten to know quite a few stars over the years. And after several years of hard work and several movies, his inner stock has become more and more intense.
More and more, I am less and less afraid of contacting filmmakers.
Therefore, in this situation, he seems to be more and more comfortable and no longer bored.
To put it bluntly, it is actually the same as attending the annual meeting of surgeons in my previous life. Everyone chatted in the same way, but the content of the conversation was different.
While chatting with a director in his fifties, someone suddenly tapped Sun Peng on the shoulder, and then he heard a voice: "Teacher Sun, long time no see."
"Brother Liang? We're finally here."
Turning around, he saw it was Liang Ren. Sun Peng naturally turned around immediately and gave him a warm hug. After all, they had collaborated on two movies together, so Sun Peng was very familiar with this big brother in the film industry, so a hug was appropriate.
Routine operation. But when he looked behind Liang Ren, Sun Peng was slightly startled and then immediately stretched out his right hand: "Director Zhang, we haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"
"Haha, it must have been two years!"
As the finale of this year's awards ceremony, the great director Zhang Hailin showed no airs at this time and shook hands with Sun Peng enthusiastically: "First of all, congratulations on winning Japan's Best Foreign Language Film! Haha, I was talking to Liang Ren just now
Talking about this and the big fight you caused in Los Angeles..."
Liang Ren and Zhang Hailin, one on the left and one on the right, naturally stood together with Sun Peng.
It seemed to recreate the situation when Sun Peng, Pitt and Lucas were chatting at the Oscars not long ago. Others saw the three of them starting to talk very affectionately, and they consciously stopped.
The director who was greeting Sun Peng just now also turned around and left silently.
You can't get anything in while you're standing nearby, so why are you staying here?
If a complete stranger to the Chinese film industry sees it, this is just three ordinary men standing together chatting, but to people in the circle, these three people standing together seem to have happened in an instant.
An extremely powerful aura that makes people involuntarily be pushed out.
Liang Ren, who was unaware of this or had become accustomed to it, now focused all his attention on Sun Peng and said with a smile: "Xiao Peng, are you really planning to go all out to make science fiction and fantasy movies recently? I didn't think so before I came here today.
At a glance, it seems that except for the two cartoons from Kaboka and DreamWorks, the rest are all science fiction and fantasy, right?"
"Haha, barely."
Smiling slightly, Sun Peng nodded and said: "After all, these two types of movies have high box office, and the scripts are relatively easy to write... Haha, I didn't expect to make so many movies without knowing it."
"...Easy to write?"
After hearing his words, Liang Ren and Zhang Hailin were speechless at the same time.
As the two genres with the highest special effects requirements in the film industry, science fiction and fantasy are indeed the easiest to generate high box office, but the premise is that the production company is willing to invest huge funds into it to make a good movie. But every year
There are so many movies of these two types, and many have invested hundreds of millions of dollars, but how many of them can make huge profits?
Half the ratio, right?
Among them, there are quite a few movies that were dragged down by their scripts, especially those experienced in science fiction and fantasy fields, and even more movies failed in Maicheng!
Is the script easy to write? Is this guy kidding?
However, in view of Sun Peng's brilliant achievements in the field of screenwriting, Liang Ren and Zhang Hailin did not dare to open their mouths to refute. They could only twitch the corners of their mouths, twitch their brows, and then each rolled their eyes at Sun Peng.
Zhang Hailin and Sun Peng were not very familiar with each other, they had only met twice, but Liang Ren was relatively casual. He quickly smiled and said half-jokingly: "Xiao Peng, since we are in Hollywood,
You made a movie about the Big Three, but what about us in China? It just so happened that the three of us met together today. How about we have a late-night secret meeting of the Big Three after the awards ceremony to make big news?
