Chapter 78 After Winning the Award

Although this year's Oscars produced two Best Supporting Actress winners, and both were extremely young actresses; after the increasingly important award lists came out, the attention they had previously attracted suddenly weakened a lot.

It's not that they are not eye-catching enough, but this era is really a battle of the gods - starting with Jack Lemmon winning the Best Actor award, becoming the first male star to win all the Best Supporting Actor awards; followed by Glenda Jackson winning the Best Actress award again this year, tying the achievement of her predecessor Vivien Leigh; and Katharine Hepburn, who won the Oscar three times, also attended the award ceremony as a guest of honor for the first time...

Seeing that beautiful figure approaching, the audience immediately erupted into thunderous applause.

However, a three-hour live TV broadcast is bound to have some unexpected mistakes, no matter how carefully planned it is, such as picking up the wrong envelope or mispronouncing a name, which are just child's play.

Only this year's Oscars was so outstanding - everyone thought that the plaque raised when awarding the Best Sound Award was speechless enough, but it turned out that there is always someone better than you (morality). At the last moment when Elizabeth Taylor came on stage to announce the Best Picture award, a flesh-colored figure suddenly passed across the stage.

The naked hunk was running so fast that most people could only barely catch a glimpse of his bright smiling teeth, a small mustache on his lips, and a V-sign made with his hand.

There are many gatherings these days, and nude sex is not uncommon, and even everyone is used to it and likes it, but this is the first time that someone has the courage to jump out on a live TV broadcast in front of the public...

The host David was so shocked that he was stunned for a second, then he came to his senses and quickly smoothed things over. He and Elizabeth Taylor presented the Best Picture award to this year's hot film "The Sting".

As the saying goes, good news never travels far, but bad news travels far and wide. This farce, which was said to be carefully planned by the producers of the award show to celebrate the Best Film award, messed up everything. The Youngest Supporting Actress won two yolks, the leading and supporting roles were the same, and she won the Best Actress award again... None of them were as shocking as the fans of this artist.

Of course, not everyone is keen on eating melons and reading gossip.

Thinking of Su Yun's speech of thanks to China when she accepted the award, Zou Yunhua felt a headache: "Didn't the speech I wrote for you at that time include these words?"

"But this award was indeed won thanks to the power of my motherland, otherwise I might not be able to stand up there with Tatum to receive the award!" Su Yun argued.

"Of course I understand this factor, but if you want to express your gratitude, you can express it in your heart, and there is no problem even donating money to the mainland in the future - but you just can't say it so directly on the stage, do you understand?" Zou Yunhua taught earnestly.

"Is it... because of the situation in Taiwan?" Seeing Zou Yunhua's distressed look, Su Yun changed his mind and seemed to have guessed the reason.

"You know, that's the best." Zou Yunhua brought a newspaper. The words on it, which meant "the first Chinese Oscar winner," deeply hurt his heart again.

After holding his chest for a while, Zou Yunhua explained to Su Yun: "You have to understand the situation in Taiwan... If you still want to come back to Hong Kong to film, you can't offend the Taiwanese market."

Of the two major cinema chains in Hong Kong, Chiu Cinemas and Chia Ho have their own strengths in overseas distribution: Chiu Brothers, owned by Chiu Rifu, relies on the influence of his family's Chiu & Sons in Singapore, and the best treatment it can give to a movie is to screen it in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. Chia Ho, on the other hand, inherited the "legacy" of Hong Kong's Cathay Cinemas, and owns the largest number of theaters in Taiwan, as well as a small number of theaters in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. The best treatment it can give to a movie is to screen it in Hong Kong and Taiwan on a large scale.

One increases and the other decreases, and the best treatment for both parties has its own advantages.

However, Chia-Ho relies more on cooperation with Taiwan than Zhao's, so as an artist under Chia-Ho, Su Yun must not offend that side.

Otherwise, with half of her wings broken, even Zou Yunhua would have a hard time guaranteeing her box office success in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

No, it may even be banned by the Taiwanese authorities. Besides no longer being able to film in my hometown, it may also affect the international market...

"If you stand on the red side, then the people in Taiwan will work together to boycott or even ban you, and your future will be in danger." Zou Yunhua pressed his temples in distress. "Fortunately, the news has not yet been transmitted back. I will try my best to build good relationships with those media, and then fly to Taiwan as soon as possible to smooth things over..."

"It's just the Taiwan dollar. Is it harder to earn US dollars or Japanese yen?" Su Yun was rarely furious after being promoted to the position just because of a simple thank you.

"Su Su, you have to understand that Taiwan is the box office for Hong Kong films at this time - as long as Taiwan doesn't lose money, then all the box office revenue from other places will be profitable." Although Zou Yunhua knew that Su Yun could earn foreign exchange and therefore stood up straight, he still sighed and patiently explained the pros and cons to Su Yun again, "You are so young and sharp, I know you can't swallow this breath, but sometimes, people just can't be too serious..."

"Listen to your Uncle Zou and don't show your true thoughts. Uncle Zou will try his best to help you solve everything else, okay?"

Seeing that a big boss like Zou Yunhua bent down to talk to her like this, although she knew that he was thinking about Jiahe in addition to herself, Su Yun still sighed helplessly.

"I understand." Su Yun nodded and softened her attitude.

"Good boy, that's right." Although Su Yun still pouted and refused to "admit her mistake", Zou Yunhua smiled with satisfaction: deep down, he was also annoyed by the over-sensitivity and insistence on being too demanding on the part of Taiwan.

Unfortunately, now his entire company and so many employees rely on this industry for their livelihood, so he can only endure it for the time being, put on a smile, bend his back, and carefully hold this bowl of rice to support his family.

"Uncle Zou has to catch a plane back to Taiwan for work. During this time, why don't you go to Japan and continue to help with the post-production of "Memoirs of a Geisha"? " Zou Yunhua asked tentatively.

Su Yun nodded again: "Okay, but next May, I will go to Cannes in France - there will be no visual effects awards at the Oscars this year, but there may be technical awards in Cannes."

The Cannes Technical Awards are mainly given to outstanding behind-the-scenes technical talents. They are random awards that may be given to sound effects, photography, recording, or other comprehensive technologies. In short, in terms of film technology, it depends on whether there are any innovative technologies worth praising in that year.

If there are enough outstanding innovative technologies in a year, someone will persuade the jury to award it.

Knowing that if it was a technical award, Su Yun would definitely receive it jointly with the great director Kubrick, Zou Yunhua felt relieved that someone was helping to take care of Su Yun: "Okay, call me when the time comes and I'll have someone arrange it for you."

A wonderful art award event that was worthy of celebration was mixed up with politics, making so many people unhappy for no reason - Su Yun still felt choked up until the moment the plane landed at the airport in Japan.

Seeing that Su Yun was not as happy as she should be after winning the award, Zhuang Long, who was busy filming, took time out of his schedule to come over and ask her, and only then did he find out what the problem was.

"I'm sorry for the trouble." There was nothing he could do about this kind of thing, so Zhuang Long could only comfort him with a gentle look.

The current situation is so complicated and chaotic. Su Yun has gained the respect she deserves with the protection of the five-star red flag, and naturally she will be suppressed by the blue sky and white flag on the other side.

"As a result of this, I can't go back to Hong Kong to film during this period." Having already filmed two foreign-language films abroad, Su Yun also misses her hometown and family a little, so she originally considered returning to Hong Kong to play some less important roles, and then try to find more free time to study and spend time with her family.

But no matter how troubled you are, you still have to avoid the limelight.

After working and studying in Japan until early summer in May, Su Yun once again packed her luggage and boarded a plane on the road covered with falling cherry blossoms, heading to Cannes, France to attend the 27th Cannes International Film Festival.

Compared to the Hong Kong and Taiwan translation of "Cannes", the name of the city she is more familiar with is "Cannes".

Unfortunately, these nostalgic terms have quietly disappeared like smoke as the world line changes.

When Su Yun arrived in Kangcheng, Kuburik, who came from England and had the advantage of distance, had already arrived here first.

"Come, let me introduce you to Steven. He is really a very interesting young man with a lot of ideas." Kubrick took advantage of the long film festival to introduce Spielberg, whom he had recently met, to Su Yun. "The little genius from Future Dream Studio that I told you about before, the shark that you are currently shooting... you should really need her help."

After thanking Kubrick for his help, the now 28-year-old "young man" Spielberg shook hands with Su Yun in a friendly manner and began to chat with her about his movie "Jaws".

After the Cannes Film Festival, Su Yun not only received the technical award together with Kubrick as she wished, but also negotiated a 2% share of the box office profits of "Jaws" with the future box office giant Spielberg.

Sure enough, from then on, Spielberg was stingy with actors but generous with technology. Even though the crew's funds were already stretched to the limit, he tried his best to give Su Yun the proper remuneration.

But he has no choice: the movie "Jaws" was scheduled to be released during the Christmas season at the end of this year, but only a little bit has been filmed so far and there are still so many technical problems that have not been solved, so the release date has been postponed again and again until next summer vacation... If no external help is invited, it may have to be filmed until the end of next year.

After hiring Su Yun as a small foreign aid, he still had to run around for additional investment, otherwise he would not have used the advance payment method of box office profit sharing to pay Su Yun's remuneration.

In other words, if Su Yun joins the group now, she will still have to pay for her own expenses...

Recalling the historical status and rough box office figures of Great White, Su Yun also accepted the setting of being poor first and rich later with a good temper.

Before joining the crew, because of the era factor, Su Yun, as an external aid, was considered to be very clear and understanding of the current practical special effects technology and model technology, which are relatively crude.

This very gentle thought lasted until she saw the model of the great white shark named "Bruce" with her own eyes.

She understands that it is normal for the models used in filming to have dents and scratches, attachments, and stains from salt water corrosion. The more marks there are, the more evidence these models have been through many battles...

But who can tell her how a pair of great white sharks with their eyes always facing each other can create a terrifying atmosphere? !

She couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw it for the first time!
