You're thinking too much. You're really imaginative.
They didn't shy away from asking questions when Qin Guan walked into the cameras.
Qin Guan's mouth twitched awkwardly as he shrugged helplessly in front of the camera.
'Yeah, the Oscar committee gave me a chance, but unfortunately, it was just a chance to walk on the carpet. Maybe they thought I didn't take enough photos this year, so they wanted me to take this opportunity to show my face.'
"I guess I have to work hard next year if I want to get that chance."
"What?"
There was a wave of disappointed wails from the media.
What happened to the explosive news that was promised?
Just like that, the headlines flew away.
Qin Guan followed Zhang Yimou to the end of the red carpet. He didn't even stop to take a photo under the huge golden statue. Instead, he said goodbye to Zhang Weiping and returned to New York.
Good luck to the award ceremony tonight, Chinese people!
That night, Qin Guan had to fly to Vancouver. After resting there for a day, he would meet the director of Fox Film Company and the other members of the film crew.
This was because the other party's one-to-one full-scale replica of the New York Museum had finally been completed.
Because there were too many historical and cultural items in the New York Museum of Fine Arts, the film was not allowed to be shot inside the museum.
After all, the internal structure and the nature of the exhibits in the New York Museum were somewhat different from those in the Louvre.
Most of the exhibits in the Louvre were works of art. Because of their uniqueness, the works displayed to the public were all replicas.
However, the collection in the New York Museum was all-inclusive, from the statues of famous people to the fossils of Jurassic dinosaurs. It was not something that could be covered by simple replicas.
Therefore, the difficulty of obtaining a permit for different movies was naturally different.
When the director of the museum heard about the war and the destruction of cultural relics, he refused immediately.
Even if the crew called the mayor of New York through Qin Guan's connections, it wouldn't work.
What's so great about the mayor? I'm the director! It's none of your business!
There was a clear division of labor.
The mayor of New York City could only apologize to the film crew and hand over his latest election strategy to them. He had served the people so well, so please don't forget to vote for him in the next election.
Everyone's last thought was cut off. The director did not hesitate either. Without a real location, they would just make a fake one.
In order to save money, such a large-scale set couldn't be built in Hollywood. As an American film company that understood the essence of movies, they naturally chose Vancouver, which was known as North Hollywood.
Vancouver, Canada...
North of Seattle was one of the cities in Canada that was influenced by the United States and had the most developed film industry.
Due to its geographical location, the city was well-connected and had a pleasant climate. Countless immigrants from all over the world had come to the city.
In the Greater Vancouver area, the number of Chinese had reached 2.3 million.
In addition, this place was deeply influenced by the US, and the industrial industry in Seattle was also linked to each other. Large-scale industrial towns were also located around here.
The city was popular with immigrants, but it had to pay a price.
That is, the people of Vancouver and their Chinese compatriots have the same problem, the exorbitant housing prices.
How high were they?
In 2007, Vancouver's housing prices were ranked second in the world after Tokyo.
For the local people, though, the price was high.
However, for the film companies, the well-developed film industry here was 20 to 30% cheaper than shooting a movie in Hollywood in Los Angeles, be it in terms of manpower or setting construction.
Therefore, under similar circumstances, whether to film in Los Angeles or Hollywood was a very good choice.
The next morning, Qin Guan heard about the Oscars through the local media and rushed to the venue.
As he had expected, Zhang Yimou's "Curse of the Golden Flower" had won an Oscar.
Because in the eyes of American film critics and media, the movie's reputation and reviews were quite good.
In order to take into account the public's reaction and the fact that Zhang Yimou's film had many merits, the Oscar committee was willing to award the Oscar to the Chinese film.
Zhang's film had won Best Costume Design and Best Cinematography, which was an indirect recognition of the film.
This was an indirect recognition of the movie. After all, this was also an Oscar, wasn't it?
The joy was greater than the disappointment. Coupled with the good domestic box office, even if the Chinese fans were disappointed and dissatisfied, it could be considered a perfect ending to this tentative Chinese blockbuster.
Qin Guan finally felt at ease. He finally had the time to think about the place where he would be working and working in the near future.
The producer of the film had not invested a lot. Of course, it was a comedy, which was different from Qin Guan's previous films. It was a light-hearted and humorous film.
The cost of the investment had to be as high as Hollywood's.
An investment of 10-15 million USD was the most he could ask for.
Of course, that did not include the actors' salaries.
The screenwriter and the story were also products of Hollywood's assembly line.
Every year, big companies like Fox, Columbia, and Warner would allocate a special sum of money for new scripts and story ideas.
Naturally, from all over the world, whether it was novels, comics, storybooks, or short stories, they were all targeted by these big companies.
In this way, excellent films from all over the world could be continuously supplied to the huge production line of Hollywood.
Of course, people in other parts of the world had good ideas in their own countries, but they had been discovered by the eyes of the United States, which were the easiest to find the bright spots.
