"For me, if I can win the award, it is certainly something worth being excited about, but equally, there is nothing to regret if I can't win the award, and it's not the end of the world!"
After pondering for a while, Sun Peng said with a smile: "And compared to the Oscar-winning movie, I personally prefer to create movies that more people like. This is my biggest motivation for writing scripts."
"You're saying that Oscar-winning movies are not the most popular movies?"
Sensitively grasping the meaning of Sun Peng's words, Melanda Miller raised her eyebrows and asked vaguely excitedly.
"Haha, I didn't say that!"
With a laugh, Sun Peng leaned back on the sofa and relaxed and said: "I just want to express the fact that for me, if I want to create for Oscars or other film awards, I am afraid I will write a lot that I don't like.
Something, so..."
Shrugging, Sun Peng continued with a smile: "When I write a script, one depends on whether I like it, and the other is based on the box office. As for whether it will win awards, I generally don't consider it."
Oscar?
Haha, stop being ridiculous!
Perhaps for other filmmakers, Oscar is the highest pursuit in life. Even those who star in commercial films, don’t they occasionally take on one or two literary films?
But for Sun Peng, what does the Oscar mean?
People need to be self-aware, and Sun Peng knew very well how likely it was that he could write or produce a film that would win the Oscar for Best Picture based on his abilities and talents!
He himself wouldn’t believe even one percent of it!
So the only possibility is to select a few from the earth's classics, try them year by year, and then wait for the Oscar's favor.
But does Oscar like that have anything to do with him?
Could it be that using someone else's creation to win an Oscar for yourself would bring unprecedented satisfaction?
Wouldn't that be self-deception?
So when he said these words, Sun Peng's expression was very calm, and his tone did not mean to be hypocritical at all. Because no matter what others thought, that was what he thought in his heart.
After carefully observing his expression, Melanda Miller confirmed that Sun Peng was not deliberately trying to excuse herself. She raised her eyebrows and felt a little uncomfortable: "So, this is the reason why I have not attended the Oscars in recent years.
?”
"Well, not entirely."
After thinking about it for a moment, Sun Peng shook his head. Without explaining too much, he smiled and said, "But this year I have promised the Oscars that I will attend the awards ceremony in February."
"Oh, this is big news!"
After listening to Sun Peng's answer, Melanda Miller suddenly became energetic!
The attention of the Oscars is far worse than before, especially after Chinese films have become increasingly powerful. Hollywood's deliberate suppression of the Oscars has caused a lot of doubts about the authority of this award. Although this doubt is basically
They all come from abroad, but the damage to Oscar is real.
At this time, laobai's arrival will naturally attract a lot of attention.
After all, this guy's performance has been amazing in recent years, but his appearances are very rare and he is full of mystery.
"Today's interview is full of useful information!"
Thinking of this, Melanda Miller couldn't help but smile.
Putting aside everything else, Lao Bai’s attitude towards awards and box office alone makes her visit to China worthwhile. What’s more, there are three super theme parks, and Lao Bai’s opinion that her three movies will be released on the same day.
Thoughts etc...
"call……"
After recalling the content of today's interview, Melanda Miller couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
She has interviewed countless superstars, famous directors and famous producers before, but only a handful of them have achieved such great results. But Melanda Miller also knows that this is the right time to choose this aspect.
Well, on the other hand, it is also because laobai's identity is prominent enough that he can create such an opportunity!
After feeling much more comfortable, Melanda Miller smiled and said, "Well, Mr. Laobai, can you answer my last question today?"
"Of course, please ask!"
Sun Peng moved his buttocks to get into a more comfortable posture, and Sun Peng nodded with a smile.
Looking closely at Sun Peng's expression, Melanda Miller asked: "It's very simple, do you have an expectation for the box office of your three upcoming movies? I mean the global box office!"
"Global box office? Of course!"
Taking a deep breath, Sun Peng said with a smile: "If possible, I hope the three movies can reach three billion US dollars. After all, they are all great works..."
…
"Three billion? Haha, I'm afraid you are the only one in the world who dares to say such a thing!"
After seeing off the reporters from "New Vision", Xia Qingqing couldn't help but sigh, and said with some helplessness: "Even if your three movies are very famous, if they cost three billion US dollars... tsk tsk,
It means that every film cannot fail and must reach the top level. Isn’t this really difficult?”
After saying this, Xia Qingqing also sighed.
Sun Peng has said the same thing twice in these years, right? He won the first two times, so what about this time?
"Haha, is it big?"
Raising his brows slightly, Sun Peng smiled and nodded: "Maybe, but I'm talking about the goal I hope to achieve. Three billion is really not a high standard, right?"
In Sun Peng's opinion, it shouldn't be too difficult to earn three billion dollars for three movies.
Needless to say, "Kung Fu Panda", "Sunflower Stories" has now established a good enough reputation, and this time it is a Chinese story. The domestic box office cannot be worse than "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", right?
And "The Martian" is a science fiction film that happens to take over from "Terminator 2" and "Inception" in the summer holiday season. As the only domestic science fiction masterpiece in the Lunar New Year season, won't the box office explode?
Therefore, Sun Peng is extremely confident about the domestic box office of these two movies.
The only thing that Sun Peng is not sure about is Paramount's "Iron Man". He doesn't know how the original copy of the Avengers' pioneering work will perform in China in this world.
But no matter what, Sun Peng believes that Huaxia fans will not let go.
Then the rest is the overseas box office.
"Iron Man", the original Hollywood work; "Kung Fu Panda", a slightly modified Hollywood work by Sun Peng; "The Martian", although Sun Peng's changes are relatively large, it is still a Hollywood work!
With three movies and US$1.23 billion overseas, it shouldn’t be a big problem, right?
At this time, Chen Muchen next to him laughed: "If there wasn't a big market like ours in China, I guess Xiaopeng wouldn't have said such arrogant words, but since they are placed in the Lunar New Year file, I think these three movies have already
