This actor just wants to verify

Chapter 1048 Why are you so sad (please vote)

The trilogy is "The Lost South 1: Annihilation", "The Lost South 2: The Power" and "The Lost South 3: Acceptance".

After Hao Yun got the manuscript, he immediately contacted the publisher he often cooperated with.

The publisher was thrilled.

They have made tens of millions of dollars in profits from Hao Yun. Hao Yun's two books, "The Martian" and "Gone Girl," are both bestsellers.

They understood that Hao Yun was also a writer, singer, and filmmaker. Otherwise, he would have to make several calls every day just to push for manuscripts.

Now that I heard that Hao Yun has released a new work, the publisher is working hard to get a big one.

The circulation is no less than a certain amount, no problem.

It’s okay if the promotion resources are no less than a certain coefficient.

If you want to go public in January, no problem...

Hao Yun revised and polished his works while talking with publishers. The novels he published in Europe and the United States would add some Chinese cultural core to them.

This is the so-called entrapment of private goods.

By the time he went to participate in the 9th Washington Film Critics Association Awards, a total of 80,000 to 90,000 words of the manuscript for "The Lost South: Annihilation" had been submitted.

Hao Yun feels that the quality of this novel is quite high.

Maybe I can win the Nebula Award too.

If there is one, there are two. Whether it is an Oscar or a Nebula Award, as long as he breaks a hole, it is easy to lower the bottom line.

The publisher plans to launch Hao Yun's new novel on a large scale in January.

If Hao Yun can gain something at the Oscars, they will launch a large-scale marketing of the new film with the Oscar for Best Director (film, actor).

It will definitely be able to catch a wave of popularity by then.

In the novel market, awards and adaptations are important means to stimulate novel sales.

Hao Yun attended the 9th Washington Film Critics Association Awards together with An Xiaoxi.

The madam line is also part of the marketing.

An Xiaoxi came from China to help Hao Yun conquer Oscar.

Well, she's actually here to promote her movie "The Witch," which is officially released in North America.

Since supernatural movies are very popular right now, the response to "The Witch" a week after its release was very good.

FC Pictures has stepped up its publicity efforts.

The North American distribution rights of this film were given to FC Pictures, and all the money earned was made by them.

She and Hao Yun attended the event together, perfectly showing Europeans what correct aesthetics means. Chinese people are not as narrow-eyed as some movies or fashion models show.

In order to control the aesthetic orientation, Europeans and Americans deliberately compare the good-looking people among their own people with the poor-looking Chinese people.

People like Lu Yan and Zhang Liang were deliberately selected as benchmarks for breaking into the European and American supermodel market.

Then a large number of Lu Yan and Zhang Liang were selected. After all, it is not difficult at all to select dozens or even hundreds of such "squinting eyes" from a population base of 1.4 billion.

This kind of "rule" deliberately excludes high-looking Chinese people from taking the lead.

Unfortunately, Hao Yun's emergence is unstoppable.

His awesomeness cannot be stopped by ordinary people at all, and around him, a large number of vested interests have emerged, forming a huge community of interests.

Novels, music, and movies involve hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue every year.

Too many people want to keep Hao Yun as a cash cow.

This is Hao Yun's first time attending an awards ceremony after the release of "Manchester by the Sea." Through this awards ceremony, we can also learn about the opponents he will face at the Oscars in a few months.

"Wow, I see you two again. We are competitors now."

The speaker was Nolan, the director of "Inception", but the star Leonardo did not appear.

"Inception" was a huge hit, and Nolan's status rose to a higher level, but it didn't have much effect on Leonardo's winning of the Best Actor Award.

There isn't much room for performance, and his performance in the movie can only be considered average.

"No matter what, Nolan, you are my favorite director." Hao Yun did not deny the competitive relationship between them.

If you say, oh no, how can I compare to Nolan? Your movies will definitely win more awards than me.

But looking back, "Manchester by the Sea" won a bunch of awards. Isn't that hypocritical? It slapped Nolan in the face.

Therefore, Hao Yun took the stance of fair competition for everyone.

"The movie was really good. I went to see it. Alas..." Nolan shook his head and sighed, then gritted his teeth and said, "I don't usually see it. Why are you so depressed?"

Hao Yun followed him in filming and stayed with him for more than two months.

Normally sunny and cheerful, talented, and occasionally a little funny, Nolan never expected that Hao Yun had a side like that in the movie.

"Next time I will make a healing film to compensate you. After I film it, I will write a special note at the end of the film. This film is dedicated to my favorite Nolan..."

Hao Yun and Nolan chatted happily, and there was no need to worry about being isolated in this European and American-dominated occasion.

In fact, there were too many people who wanted to communicate with Hao Yun.

The director wants to shoot his script, the actor wants to act in his movie, and even the screenwriter, who has almost no chance of working with him, is wondering if they can exchange ideas on how to create a script quickly.

Four or five a year.

"Real or fake, what kind of movie?" Nolan has heard too much flattery, but Hao Yun's films always make people feel happy, and they want to burn yellow paper, cut off the chicken's head, and have sex with him.

"It's called "Hunting"..."

When Clint Eastwood read out the name of the Best Director winner - Hao Yun, it meant that this outpost lit a light for Hao Yun.

It's a pity that the best actor was taken away by Colin Firth of "The King's Speech".

Fortunately, this is just an outpost and cannot determine the final outcome.

Generally speaking, the best picture is what attracts the most attention, and this time the winner of "Best Picture" is "The Social Network."

The film is adapted from Ben Mezrich's novel "The Accidental Billionaire: The Creation of Facebook, a Story of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal" and tells the story of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Savarin's fortune.

Well, there is reason to suspect that Facebook sponsored the money.

Of course, Hao Yun's Best Director award is not bad, which at least shows that "Manchester by the Sea" was recognized by the Washington Film Critics Association Award.

The first battle was won.

After receiving the trophy from Mr. Clint Eastwood, Hao Yun hugged him again.

Hello, old prostitute!

One of Hao Yun's favorite movies is "The Wilderness," which he considers to be the pinnacle of Western films.

I heard that Quentin was working on a western called "Django Unchained" and he also booked Hao Yun to make a guest appearance, but in fact, Hao Yun couldn't think of anything he could make a guest appearance in a western.

"Thank you, thank you everyone, thank you for your love for me and "Manchester by the Sea"..."

As usual, you have to interact with the host.

"Can you describe your feelings to us after receiving the Best Director Award?" the host asked.

"It's joyful, but also very heavy. My team and I didn't expect to win the award, but we didn't expect that we won the award. We must not let down the trust of the judges, nor the love of the fans and friends."

In terms of speaking skills, Hao Yun has never lost.

Whether speaking Chinese, German, French or English, if necessary, he can have a good conversation with Heidou.

"I want to ask a question that everyone is very concerned about. Felix, you are a very prolific director. Are you currently planning a new movie?"

The host just asked a random question, but unexpectedly, he suddenly jumped into Hao Yun's rhythm.

"In fact, after "Manchester by the Sea", I have made three movies..." Hao Yun's words caused a burst of exclamation from the audience.

Nolan covered his face.

You are simply an animal. Don't sit at our director's table.

How can other directors survive if you are so involved?

What excuse can we make for procrastination?

"Well... you are really diligent, thank you for your hard work..." The host was a little incoherent and forgot the questions he originally wanted to ask.

"Actually, I still want to use today's platform to make a GG..." Hao Yun looked at the host, his eyes full of clarity and sincerity.

"You go ahead and fight." The host was a little tired.

"I have a few films that need casting. One is a literary film, which requires an actor in his early forties. There is also a realistic film, which also requires a leading actor in his early forties. This role requires weight loss, and there is also a fantasy film. …”

The whole audience was stunned.

This little brother...what do you think our place is?

Your GG is so clear.

In fact, Hao Yun was a little embarrassed, and quickly said apologetically: "I don't know too many people in Hollywood, and I really didn't think of anyone suitable, so if any of you here are interested or have any recommendations, you can Send the information to my personal email, thank you all.”

"I think... everyone will be very happy." The host was shocked.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Hao Yun has been auditioning actors for three projects since he came up.

The directors in the audience were confused, but the actors were ready to take action.

The actors generally have a favorable impression of Hao Yun.

What a director!

He is simply everyone’s dream guide.

He neither messes with actresses nor actors. He makes three movies a year and creates too many job opportunities for actors.

Not only that, he also took out the role for a public audition.

Unlike some great directors who only like to use actors they are used to and don't give others a chance at all.

However, there are also smart people who can see the scheming and planning of this young Chinese man.

It is indeed the country of "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

Hao Yun has two films that are looking for actors in their forties.

This needs to be highlighted.

Hollywood actors of this age are at their prime, and they have the top say in the Hollywood actor circle.

There are many such people among the Oscar Academy jury members.

Although it is not so absolute, basically the major guilds in the academy vote. The Directors Guild votes for the Director Award, and the Actors Guild votes for the Actor Award.

If Hao Yun wants to win the Best Actor Award, he has to look at the Screen Actors Guild's face.

It turned out that Hao Yun was an outsider.

The Screen Actors Guild doesn't have much favorable impressions of him. If Hao Yun hadn't also worked part-time as a director and screenwriter, then foreign actors like him would have been competitors of local actors in Hollywood.

But now that Hao Yun has created the show "Playing GG", these actors were immediately united by him.

In fact, he does not have many friends and knows few people, but everyone knows that his partners are Michael Bay and Paramount. This network of connections is second to none in the entire Hollywood.

This is just a show.

However, the effect is surprisingly good.

At the dinner after the awards ceremony, a lot of actors came to talk to him. Even if they couldn't win the male lead, they could still win the supporting roles.

Hao Yun is not just playing dirty tricks.

He literally has three movies to cast, all scheduled to shoot next year.

One "The Hunt," one "Life of Pi," and one "Dallas Buyers Club."

Actors for all three films were extremely difficult to find.

Hao Yun had a chat with Michael Bay. He also felt a headache and said he needed to get the news out to see if anyone would take the initiative to contact him.

The difficulty with "Hunting" is that the film requires very high acting skills.

"Life of Pi", if it were to follow the setting of the original novel, Hao Yun would have needed to find an Indian boy to play the role.

"Dallas Buyers Club" is even more incredible.

A group of terminally ill patients, and they are all very skinny. If they want to perform that kind of essence, the actors must lose weight like crazy.

"Your film "Love and Anarchy" is really impressive. It is really an outstanding work..."

Hao Yun skillfully revealed the other party's masterpiece.

Giancarlo Giannini was surprised and also very pleased.

Giancarlo Giannini is an Italian actor who won the Best Actor Award at the 26th Cannes Film Festival for his film "Love and Anarchy".

He was also nominated for Best Actor at the 49th Academy Awards for "Seven Beauties".

However, this evergreen figure in the Italian film industry is basically playing supporting roles now.

"What kind of story is "The Hunt" you are talking about, and what kind of actors are needed..." Giancarlo Giannini added: "Don't get me wrong, I have no intention of starring in it. I just heard you talking about this movie with others. Movie, I suddenly thought of someone who is more suitable, so I decided to recommend it to you. "

"Thank you very much. Who is this gentleman?"

Hao Yun was very pleasantly surprised. It was not that no one recommended themselves or recommended actors, but basically they were not suitable.

The Washington Film Critics Association Award is nothing, and there are still a few people coming.

"I participated in the movie "007: Casino Royale" a few years ago, and there was an actor in it who impressed me very much..." Giancarlo Giannini, an old man who is nearly 70 years old, is obviously a bit verbose.

"Are you talking about Daniel Craig?" Hao Yun asked in surprise.

Daniel Craig is the current Bond and is considered a first-line actor in Hollywood, but Hao Yun doesn't think he can play the movie "The Hunt" well.

Not the same type.

Just like the facial paralysis performance of Hao Yun in "Manchester by the Sea" is not the same as the facial paralysis in Daniel Craig 007.

In fact, it is not impossible for Hao Yun to act in "Hunting" himself.

The main reason is that "Hunting" tells a more Western story than "Manchester by the Sea" and also involves topics such as copper smelting addiction. He still prefers to find a Westerner to interpret it.

If he had to use an Oriental, he might ask Feng Yuanzheng.

Maybe Feng Yuanzheng can really be cleared.

"No, no," Giancarlo Giannini quickly denied, saying, "It's Max, Mads Mikkelsen!"

"Oh, him, I have the impression that the villain in "Casino Royale", his performance is really impressive, Mads Mikkelsen, I feel that he is more charming than Bond..."

Hao Yun fell into thinking. He connected the images of Lucas and Mads Mikkelsen in "The Hunt" in his mind, but found that they were surprisingly consistent.

This is an instinct or basic quality of a director.

Before filming, I will go over it in my head, and when casting, I will also compare the real actors with the characters in the film.

"You can consider Max. He is an outstanding actor. I have been in the industry for so many years and I always feel that he has been buried." Giancarlo Giannini recommended Max Mikkelsen out of pure appreciation of talent. .

He is 68 years old, his fame is here, and there is no shortage of roles.

"Thank you. I'll think about it. Can I get Mads Mikkelsen's contact information from you? I'd like to chat with him in person."

Hao Yun didn't say anything, he wanted to give it a try.

Moreover, he does not plan to cast an actor for "The Hunt" in the short term. If "Manchester by the Sea" and "Fireworks by Daylight" cannot bring him the title of actor, he may star in the movie "The Hunt" himself.

After the Washington Film Critics Association Awards, Hao Yun met with the head of 20th Century Fox.

He planned to talk about the copyright issue of "Deadpool".

Well, the reason why we didn’t discuss this issue with Marvel was mainly because in the 1990s, Marvel was heavily in debt. In order to survive, it began to sell off its character adaptation rights. A large number of Marvel characters such as Fantastic Four, X-Men, The copyrights for Iron Man, Hulk, etc. were sold just like this.

Of course, despite selling so many sons, Marvel still did not escape the fate of bankruptcy. In 1996, Marvel filed for bankruptcy.

At the end of 2009, Disney acquired Marvel for nearly $4.24 billion.

With Disney's strong distribution channels, Marvel has become even more powerful. Now it has become a big company, but the long road to recovering copyrights is still going on.

The copyright of Deadpool is more complicated.

At the beginning, Artisan Entertainment reached an agreement with Marvel to make at least 15 comic characters into movies or TV series, including Captain America, Black Panther, Black Widow, Deadpool, etc.

In 2003, Lionsgate acquired Artisan Entertainment and inherited its Marvel character copyrights.

However, in 2004, the copyright of Deadpool came to New Line Cinema.

In 2005, the copyright of this character was bought by 20th Century Fox.

In addition, 20th Century Fox also bought the copyright of X-Men in 1994.

And it is indeed working hard to develop X-Men. From 2000 to 2006, three "X-Men" movies were released successively, and the response was very good, which gave people new hope for the film and television adaptation of Marvel superheroes.

If Hao Yun wanted to shoot "Deadpool 1", he only needed to cooperate with 20th Century Fox.

If Hao Yun had just come to Hollywood, 20th Century Fox would probably not give Hao Yun a chance to meet.

If you write a script, you just need to submit it through formal channels.

If we use it, we will give you a screenwriter fee.

However, Hao Yun has now established himself in Hollywood, and with the close cooperation with Paramount and Disney, he seems to be deeply rooted.

So 20th Century Fox attaches great importance to this meeting.

It is finally their turn.
