Chapter 883 Cooperation and Awards Begin
Seeing He Jing approaching from a distance, Fu Yunshen also stood up and temporarily gave his seat to He Jing.
"I'm here." He Jing greeted Jiang Yuan.
Seeing Jiang Yuan nod, he continued, "When I entered the venue just now, those reporters caught me and asked you a lot of questions."
"It seems to be similar here." Jiang Yuan said after thinking for a moment.
After all, judging from the situation in the past two years, the names of Jiang Yuan and He Jing are indeed deeply tied to the field of film production.
Not far away, Fu Yunshen, who was temporarily sitting in an empty seat, was also listening carefully to the discussion between Jiang Yuan and the others.
After Jiang Yuan had previously invited Fu Yunshen to sign a contract with the studio, Fu Yunshen had already treated himself as one of their own, except that the contract had not yet been drafted.
What he most urgently wants to achieve after signing the contract is obviously to collaborate with Jiang Yuan as a director to shoot a new work.
After "Love Letter", Fu Yunshen has proven that Jiang Yuan is an excellent partner both as an actor and in terms of script.
It's a pity that he was still a step too late. Fu Yunshen sighed as he listened to He Jing and Jiang Yuan chatting together.
Obviously, compared to directors like He Jing who have had many experiences of working with Jiang Yuan, Fu Yunshen always feels that the friendship between him and Jiang Yuan is somewhat shallow.
But Fu Yunshen did not feel too disappointed because of this. Since Jiang Yuan had already made an invitation, Fu Yunshen naturally believed that Jiang Yuan must want to continue cooperating with him, which is why he made this invitation.
What's more, in terms of business ability, Fu Yunshen does not think that he is worse than He Jinglai. He is even more confident in his abilities in some aspects.
It’s just that once the idea of comparison arises in your mind, it is difficult to completely erase it.
In Jiang Yuan's opinion, there are two films nominated tonight, and it doesn't matter which one wins the award, whether it is "Love Letter" or "The Invisible Guest".
However, from Fu Yunshen's perspective, this was undoubtedly a confrontation.
Of the two works, Fu Yunshen naturally hopes that the one in which he participated can win the award.
Jiang Yuan was chatting with He Jing and had no idea what Fu Yunshen was thinking. He was still thinking about the possibility of winning the award that night.
“It’s hard to say about other awards, but I think this year’s Best New Director is a no-brainer. It’s rare to see a new director shoot such a good film the first time.”
"And among the works nominated this year, there is no work that is more popular than this movie."
He Jing was very sure that Jiang Yuan would win the Best New Director of the Year award.
"Have you seen the other movies?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.
He Jing shook his head at this time, "I didn't have time to see it all."
"But the Academy Awards have to take some commercial value into consideration after all. The box office of the other movies combined may not be enough to beat you." He Jing analyzed it carefully, and at the same time, he did not forget to take out his mobile phone to search to confirm the box office performance.
"I see." Jiang Yuan nodded in understanding, and for a moment he felt that the credibility of the award had increased a lot.
"Then at least there is a trophy I can take away tonight." Jiang Yuan said after thinking for a while.
Regarding the award that night, when Jiang Yuan arrived, his desire to win the award was about half and half.
But after arriving at the scene, even though the award ceremony had not officially started yet, my mood was completely different.
Being in such an environment, with many people around you being your competitors that night, it feels like a competition with an unknown outcome. It is very exciting and makes people want to win the game.
And in today's competition, the most direct way to win the game is obviously to go on stage to receive the award.
"I am much more optimistic than you." He Jing smiled and shook his head when he heard that.
This was not the first year that He Jing attended the Academy Awards ceremony, and he knew more about the awards than Jiang Yuan.
Especially since the shortlist this year is such an excellent work as "The Invisible Guest", although He Jing did not speak directly during the interview, he was actually very confident mentally.
"Many media outlets are optimistic about 'The Invisible Guest'. Plus, we have been nominated for so many awards, it's impossible for us to go win nothing." Without facing the camera, He Jing said this to Jiang Yuan with certainty.
"The award ceremony hasn't started yet, so let's just take it easy." Jiang Yuan said after thinking for a while.
Compared to He Jing's confidence and determination, Jiang Yuan is more cautious. After all, as long as you lower your expectations, you will not be so easily disappointed.
Hearing Jiang Yuan say this, He Jing smiled but didn't say anything more. Even if he was confident, he didn't know the list of winners in advance.
So after chatting a little about this topic, He Jing lowered his voice and began to discuss the script of "The Wandering Earth" with Jiang Yuan.
Although Jiang Yuan has been very busy recently, he has not fallen behind in the progress of reproducing the script. Basically, as long as there is an update, it will be directly synchronized to He Jing.
In addition, He Jing has also been studying hard recently and has established contact with some professional production teams. He also has many ideas to share with Jiang Yuan.
Although the script provided by Jiang Yuan was very complete, for such a large-scale film, many of the filming steps also required special design.
It is indeed not possible to complete it smoothly by following the routine. He Jing shared this with Jiang Yuan excitedly because he had confirmed some fragments and some ways to achieve it.
Jiang Yuan listened to He Jing's sharing without interrupting, and subconsciously revealed a hint of surprise between his eyebrows.
The main reason was that I didn't expect He Jing to be able to make such progress in such a short period of time.
I was originally copying the script slowly in the hope that it would give He Jing more time to prepare. After all, this was an area he was not that good at.
But now it seems that there is more hope to advance the project.
Although He Jing spoke very quietly, Fu Yunshen was sitting very close to him, so he could still hear some of the key words mentioned during their conversation.
At first, Fu Yunshen felt a little nervous when listening to the new script. He thought it was normal for He Jing and Jiang Yuan to collaborate on a new script.
But when the words "science fiction movie" came out, Fu Yunshen suddenly lost his composure.
Making movies and making science fiction movies, although just adding one category, suddenly they seem completely different.
This is also a blind spot that Fu Yunshen had never imagined.
Compared to Fu Yunshen, He Jing obviously had more knowledge in this field. He shared his knowledge with Jiang Yuan in a very logical way, which left Fu Yunshen stunned.
"It seems that after the Spring Festival, we can speed up the progress accordingly." After listening to He Jing's sharing, Jiang Yuan patted He Jing on the shoulder. After hearing Jiang Yuan's words, He Jing's face also bloomed with a bright smile.
Seeing that the award ceremony was about to begin, He Jing said something to Jiang Yuan, then stood up and began to return to his original seat.
Originally, I came over to say hello to Jiang Yuan before the award ceremony started.
After He Jing walked away, Fu Yunshen sat back in his seat with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Jiang Yuan naturally noticed Fu Yunshen's behavior and asked curiously, "Do you have anything to say?"
After hearing Jiang Yuan's question, Fu Yunshen rubbed his coat with his fingers twice, "I just heard your conversation with Director He Jing."
"And then?" After waiting for a while and not getting any further words from Fu Yunshen, Jiang Yuan could only ask again.
"That's right, is it true that you are going to shoot a science fiction movie?" Fu Yunshen was very curious, but he lowered his voice.
If someone else were to ask, this project, which has not yet been launched, should be relatively secretive.
But in Jiang Yuan's opinion, Fu Yunshen was basically an employee of his studio, so he did not deny it and nodded directly, "It's true."
Even though he had certain expectations, Fu Yunshen couldn't help but open his mouth wide after hearing Jiang Yuan admit it again.
"This..." Fu Yunshen's language system was also shocked and paused for a moment.
"Do you feel a little confused?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"Yes." Fu Yunshen nodded and replied, "The main reason is that there really doesn't seem to be any outstanding works in China."
"Not only is it difficult to produce, but if it's not done well, it's easy to get criticized. Plus, the cost of filming won't be too low, so the risk is so great."
In just a few words, Fu Yunshen directly expressed some of his concerns about shooting science fiction movies.
In general, a project that is not done well can easily turn into a thankless task.
"Yes." Jiang Yuan did not deny the points raised by Fu Yunshen.
"It is true that there are these risks, but after discussing with He Jing, I also plan to break through myself and make some new attempts."
As Jiang Yuan spoke to Fu Yunshen, the emotions in his heart also subconsciously ignited.
"If there has never been anyone like this before, then we will try to be the first," said Jiang Yuan.
Fu Yunshen was first shocked by Jiang Yuan's courage to say this. The cost behind such an attempt was indeed too high.
But soon, Fu Yunshen's thoughts became a little more practical, "So this project will be the shooting plan for the new year?"
When asking this question, Fu Yunshen actually felt a little disappointed.
The main reason was that Fu Yunshen put himself in the other person's shoes and thought about it. If he were to prepare to shoot such a science fiction blockbuster, he would definitely have to devote himself to the project.
So if Jiang Yuan and He Jing started this project, Fu Yunshen suddenly felt that his work for the new year would be uncertain.
As soon as Jiang Yuan heard Fu Yunshen's question, he immediately understood the intention behind it.
After understanding, he smiled and shook his head, "That's not entirely true. He Jing didn't think that this project could be completed in one year."
"There is a high probability that this will be a big project in the next few years." After chatting with He Jing, Jiang Yuan also understood the complexity and difficulty of film production.
I have subconsciously felt that a whole year is definitely not enough.
"In addition to preparing this project with He Jing, there will definitely be some other works that need to be produced." Jiang Yuan gave Fu Yunshen a reassurance.
Seeing that Fu Yunshen's expression did not change much, Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and said with more confidence, "Don't worry, after we sign the contract, we will discuss the filming of the next work. I already have some ideas."
After hearing what Jiang Yuan said, the expression on Fu Yunshen's face suddenly relaxed.
Jiang Yuan's certification was obviously enough.
During the award ceremony, Jiang Yuan, He Jing and Fu Yunshen, who could be regarded as his two right-hand men, chatted about their next collaboration.
It also made everyone feel a little more relaxed as the award ceremony was about to begin.
Looking at his watch to confirm that the award ceremony was almost about to begin, Jiang Yuan looked back to see the current situation at the scene.
However, when he turned around, he was caught by the fans at the scene and immediately burst into cheers.
Punctually, the lights in the stadium dimmed, and when the big screen and lights came back on, it was already the opening show of the Academy Awards.
The initial opening show did not have any performers, and was mostly performed with lights and animation effects playing on the screen, which gave a very good audio-visual experience.
After the opening show, singers were invited to perform an opening performance.
It was a rare award ceremony where he didn't have to participate in the performance, so Jiang Yuan just relaxed and enjoyed the ceremony.
For the opening performance, they did not invite any popular singers whose names Jiang Yuan knew, but instead invited some older singers with excellent singing skills to the scene.
Most of them are national team-level players who often perform at evening parties.
Both the singing skills and the style of the music performed were extremely decent as an opening performance, and also set a more formal and serious tone for the Academy Awards that day.
The entire award ceremony was broadcast live, with shots occasionally cutting to the audience as the performances took place on stage.
Jiang Yuan is extremely sensitive to the camera's gaze, and when the camera sweeps over him, he immediately presents himself in a relatively good state to appear on camera.
After the opening performance, Jiang Yuan joined the audience in applauding the singers who had just finished singing.
Amidst warm applause, the two hosts of the award ceremony that evening also appeared on the stage at this time.
Before the award ceremony officially began, the host prepared a monologue related to that year's Academy Awards. Although the content was not much, the text was quite literary.
The whole transition was very smooth, and then entered the award ceremony. The first part was more related to Jiang Yuan, and the first batch of awards were basically awards for new humans.
