Chapter 416： equality

In the small screening room of the Beverly Hills Club, the screening of "Hero" is still going on.

Like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", due to the impact of the Oscar for best foreign language film, "Hero" is not dubbed in English, but comes standard with English subtitles.

Unlike the other side of the Pacific, people here are very unaccustomed to subtitles.

Moreover, many lines translated into English cannot express the meaning of the original version.

The difference between "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is really too big.

The script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was first written in English to ensure its western core, and then translated into Chinese.

When creating the script of "Hero", of course, the issue of English translation was not considered first.

"If you are unknown, you can concentrate on practicing swords!"

"A person's pain is no longer painful compared to the world's people."

Frankly speaking, the lines in this film are really good.

And the film itself is very characteristic, the beautiful picture is very attractive.

The film is full of oriental artistic conception and the fighting is very sensational, giving full play to the advantages of light and shadow, as well as the advantages of color.

It can be said that many pictures of "Hero" express endless poetry.

Compared to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", this film is more suitable for Eastern audiences.

How many Oriental audiences did the former watch sleep?

I just don’t know how many North American audiences who don’t understand Eastern movies will regard this film as a super magical movie.

After all, in terms of the content of the film alone, these swordsmen are much better than the members of the Fellowship Team.

Gandalf, a white-robed man who sells swords in one hand and wise staff in the other, kneels when he sees him.

This is a serious and magical blockbuster.

In the face of the propaganda of ordinary fans, Embassy Pictures also played the banner of a magical masterpiece early.

After the pull-up meeting, David Villa of Embassy Pictures greeted the guests to the nearby banquet hall, followed by a reception.

In this so-called pull conference, the screening is the situation, and the pull relationship is the reality.

I don’t know how to engage in public relations, so many Oscars have flown.

"I didn't expect it."

Lionsgate’s Navas also accepted the invitation and said to Ronan, “You’ve got another oriental magic movie.”

Ronan smiled and said, "There is no way, "City of God" can't compete with you, we can only find another way."

Navas said: "This film is more magical than "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"." He tentatively asked: "Your goal is also the best foreign language film?"

The pull conference is going on, Ronan didn't have to deny it, and said: "There are considerations in this regard."

Navas said: "Lionsgate is also pushing "City of God" to compete for the Oscar for best foreign language film."

"Your subject matter has an advantage." Ronan said casually: "It would be nice if we can get a nomination."

Navas was very wary of Ronan and said specifically: "I hope we can compete virtuously."

Ronan said: "I've always paid attention to fair competition."

Connie, who was behind Ronan, was silent, um... her boss really likes fair competition.

The atmosphere at the reception was very warm. Director Zhang, accompanied by a translator and a public relations staff, kept greeting people. He hadn't turned half a circle yet, and only felt one word-tired!

Not only the body is tired, but the heart is even more tired!

If it is placed in China, in Asia, even in Cannes, does he need it?

But the issuing company and public relations staff said that if you want to get an Oscar, this is just the most basic, and there are more troublesome things behind.

Director Zhang looks back and thinks about it. In China, what movie awards can't be caught?

challenge! Correct! He needs to be challenging!

As long as there are challenges, he can maintain a vigorous creative life.

Once there is nothing to challenge, the whole person slack off.

There are quite a lot of Chinese who came to the scene today, but all the Chinese who are a little famous in Hollywood have received invitations from Ronan, such as James Huang, Ang Lee, and Liu Yuling.

In addition, personnel who are not of Chinese descent are also screened, and Ronan will certainly not let those Hollywood rightists come to add to the block.

Ronan has always been the most friendly producer to the Chinese in the circle over the years. On the one hand, it is due to his special experience. On the other hand, he also carried the plane tree to attract the golden phoenix.

There are many talented Chinese in Hollywood.

After Navas left, Ronan saw Lee Ang chatting with the director Zhang and walked towards him.

"Good evening, Ronan." Li Ann took the initiative to say hello.

Ronan smiled and shook hands with him: "It's been a long time, Li."

Ang Lee and Ronan were also familiar with each other, and asked directly, "Is this film going to be the best foreign language film?"

Ronan whispered: "The goal is to nominate."

Ang Lee nodded: "With the current situation in Hollywood, it is difficult for a pure Oriental film to win prizes."

This is an objective reality, Ronan certainly understood, and said, "Yes, so just get a nomination."

He changed the subject and asked, "Has "The Hulk" been completed?"

"Not yet, but soon." Li An looked tired: "There is only finishing work left in post-production."

Ronan said: "This is your first commercial blockbuster, don't forget to notify me when it premieres."

"No problem." Li An responded.

After Ronan appeared in front of him, Ang Li had responded to the invitation of Relativity Entertainment and soon left.

Look at Ang Lee, and then at the director Zhang. Ronan is very clear. As far as Oscar is concerned, Ang Lee's advantages are not comparable to Director Zhang.

Ang Lee has already been Westernized, and he has settled in the United States all the year round. In addition to the Westernization of ideas, what is even more Westernized is the network of relationships.

Take the Oscar public relations of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" as an example. Ang Lee can have breakfast with the old Oscar judges in the morning, visit famous film critics in the morning, call for votes with friends who have worked with Oscar members at noon, and accept the media in the afternoon. Reporter interview.

These are the personal networks that Ang Lee has woven in Hollywood for ten years.

Ronan wondered how he would respond after the release of "The Hulk" next year.

On the one hand, it is the copyright issue of Hulk's film and television, and on the other hand, the director, Ang Lee.

Retrieving the copyright of the Hulk from Universal Pictures is undoubtedly the most ideal result, provided that the "Hulk" is going to be tragic enough.

Ang Lee's future value is very great. The film adaptation rights for that novel are already in the hands of Shahai Entertainment. If "The Hulk" really wants to hit the street, there are not many choices left to Ang Lee.

For a director whose reputation and status in the United States or other Western countries is similar to that of Ang Lee, a film, even if it is a major production, will definitely have an impact on the street, but it will not face almost desperate difficulties.

But for Chinese directors, this problem is not so big.

Ronan saw Alan Horne of Warner Bros. Pictures and said hello. Allen Horne was not here tonight, and there was a girl who looked like 16 or 7 years old beside him.

Considering the identity of Alan Horne and the current public situation, this cannot be his little lover.

"Cody, this is Ronan, the owner of Relativity Entertainment." Alan Horn took the initiative to introduce: "Ronan, this is Coty, my daughter."

Ronan smiled and nodded: "Good evening, Miss Horn."

"Just call me Curty." Curty Horn laughed out a pair of little rabbit teeth, and showed good tutors between gestures: "It's nice to meet you, Uncle Anderson."

Ronan was somewhat embarrassed: "I'm a few years older than you, call me Ronan."

Kety Horne smiled, and stood beside Alan Horne and stopped talking.

She is tall and looks very quiet, with the brown hair most commonly seen in Western women, and a slightly sturdy face, always with a faint smile.

Alan Horne said: "Coty was just in high school and was very interested in acting and screenwriters. He also played a few small roles. Ronan, if you have a suitable role, please take care of Coty. "

Ronan said: "Allen, you are too polite, it should be, I will let you know if there is a suitable role."

Owning a boss who was the chief executive officer of Warner Bros. production company, Curty Horn's starting point is much higher than 99% of Hollywood actors.

But the niece of the top executives of major Hollywood companies seldom truly become first-line or even second-line stars, and the good family environment will lead to insufficient motivation to struggle.

It’s not that there weren’t people with backgrounds like Curty Horn who wandered around in Hollywood, but they took it more as an interest, just for fun Keti Horne laughed at this time He said, "Thank you Uncle Anderson."

Ronan touched his nose and reminded again: "Let's call me Ronan."

Most American girls between 16 and 17 are quite mature, and being called uncles by such a big person will really call them old.

Ronan felt that his body was very young and his mentality should be kept young, so that he would have unlimited motivation.

While Luo An was chatting with Ellen Horne and his father and daughter, two Chinese men quietly came to the neighborhood, and the older one was James Huang, who resumed cooperation with Shahai Entertainment.

Another younger man, short and thin, underneath his slightly messy black hair, has a childish face.

"Ronan is busy." James Wong whispered: "We will wait a while in the past."

The short Asian Asian is a little nervous: "Is a big person like Ronan Anderson easy to get along with?"

James Huang looked at his companions, knowing what he was worried about, and said, "Don't worry. The bosses of Hollywood studios are really looking for someone who can treat Asian filmmakers equally, probably Ronan Anderson.

"That's good, that's good." The short Asian rubbed his hands to ease the tension in his heart: "I finally came from Australia, always looking for someone who can treat us equally."

James Wong understands this mentality, so why didn't he do it at the beginning.

Therefore, after being recommended by an old friend, he will come to find Ronan with him.

"Don't worry about it." James Huang said: "Ronan not only treats Asians equally, but also likes horror movies very much."

He saw the father and daughter walk away and pulled the Asian man: "Go, let's go."
