Chapter 493: Several movies go hand in hand (page 13)
Next to them, these international directors were still chatting in a relaxed mood.
They talked and laughed with each other.
"Robbie, your "Bloom" will be broadcast in the second half of the year, right? It seems that next year's Palme d'Or will be yours."
"Hey! You are so humble. I remember that "Children" that you have carefully prepared for three years will be released soon."
"Bit, if you win the Best Screenplay Award once, it will be complete, right?"
"Hey! Almost."
"..."
At this moment, Wang Mo had already brought up the system panel.
But after entering the mall, he ran into trouble.
"Which movie are you looking for?"
Such a low ratio shows that the judging standards of the two major awards are completely different.
His eyes were fixed on the name, thoughtfully.
What's more worth mentioning is that this movie is not a literary drama that is not liked by movie fans.
Being able to win the favor of two major film awards, Cannes and Oscar, is enough to show its excellence.
Please note that this is data from more than thirty years ago!
If it were released today more than thirty years later, Wang Mo is sure that it will definitely not be worse than many commercial films at the box office.
Almost instantly, a large number of movies appeared in his mind.
Only then did he realize that he knew very little about the films that had won awards at the Cannes Film Festival in his previous life.
This is the only Chinese film in Wang Mo's memory that won the Palme d'Or at Cannes.
Although "Farewell My Concubine" has received two Oscar nominations, this is far from satisfying him.
It is also highly sought after by movie fans in China.
Of course, the most classic one is "Titanic". This is a movie that has reached the pinnacle of literature, art and business. It can be called an unsurpassed masterpiece in the film industry.
In fact, this is normal.
As for "Iron Man"?
I'm afraid it will be difficult to film next year. Even if it is filmed, it will only win one or two inconsequential small awards at the Oscars.
According to statistics, in the past thirty years, films nominated for both the Cannes Film Festival and the Oscars accounted for only 3.2% of all films!
Basically, ordinary people don't pay any attention to the three major international film festivals: Cannes, Berlin, and Venice. It's already a big deal that everyone can hear which movie won the Oscar.
"Farewell My Concubine."
"Which one to choose?"
Drama films are the most rejected films by commercial films.
Wang Mo thought.
"That's it!"
On Douban, "Farewell My Concubine" has a rating of 9.6, ranking second among all movies. The number of reviewers is more than two million.
Wang Mo has more options to choose from when it comes to films participating in the Oscar selection.
Palme d'Or?
None of these movies are good enough to be in contention for Oscars.
"Well, let it participate in the Cannes Film Festival next year, and then I have to find a movie to participate in the Oscars..."
Its box office revenue was also extremely impressive.
Don’t assume that the judges for these awards have the same interests.
Of course, the awards won by this film are not limited to the Cannes Film Festival. It also won many awards such as the North American Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, the International Federation of Film Critics Award, and also received two Oscar nominations.
Wang Mo still found a movie.
"Farewell My Concubine", released in 93, had a global box office of more than 4800 million U.S. dollars, and the mainland box office was million Chinese dollars.
You won the Palme d'Or, so you thought you could win an Oscar?
no way!
It was even named one of the 100 best movies in global history by Time Magazine.
It is no exaggeration to say that after its release, it swept the era and won various awards.
Therefore, unless they are industry insiders, few people really know which films have won awards at the three major international film festivals.
Many people thought it was rice dumpling leaves.
Of course, the film wasn't just an international hit.
The judges at the Cannes Film Festival in particular are very interesting, their favorites are dramas.
In addition, it is estimated that more than 90% of ordinary people do not even know what the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival is.
Wang Mo no longer hesitated and immediately bought it from the system mall.
I looked for it for a long time.
However, Wang Mo only hesitated for a moment and then gave up.
It's very simple, it can't be photographed!
Even if it is filmed, it will take several years.
Just building a one-to-one simulation of the ship would take more than a year.
So the movie he chooses should have the following factors:
First, it is not difficult to shoot.
Second, production can be completed extremely quickly.
Third, it has gained both word-of-mouth and box office success.
exclude!
After choosing for a long time, Wang Mo set his sights on a feature film.
"That's it!"
After Wang Mo made up his mind, he purchased the movie "Forrest Gump" from the system mall without hesitation.
For people on earth, it is estimated that most people are familiar with this movie.
Because it is a classic inspirational film, in middle school, high school, and college classes, English teachers often take out its disc and show it to students.
The story tells the inspiring story of Forrest Gan, a small town boy who was born with mental retardation, who worked hard to improve himself. In the end, he was favored by God and created miracles in various fields.
When Wang Mo exited the system mall.
The directors nearby were still chatting.
Seeing him open his eyes, Jack smiled and said: "Mr. Wang Mo, judging from your expression, are you determined to win the Palme d'Or next year?"
This was not meant as a mockery, but as a joke between each other.
Others also laughed.
"Jack, why don't you compete in music with Teacher Wang Mo?"
"You have evil intentions."
"..."
However, Wang Mo smiled and nodded: "I have this idea, and I am also looking forward to the Oscars next year."
Hey!
This time the scene became more lively.
Everyone thought Wang Mo was telling a joke.
Cannes Palme d'Or + Academy Awards?
None of them dared to have such a dream.
Some people even booed: "Master Wang Mo, if your movie script really wins two major awards after it is produced, whether it is one movie or multiple movies, I will make a movie for you for free next year."
Everyone became restless.
"Hahaha, count me in."
"You don't need to win an award. As long as you can get an Oscar nomination, I will work for you for free for a year. And Jack, if you can beat Master Wang Mo in music, I will work for you for a year."
"Hey, is this a bet? Then add me."
"Add me too."
"..."
More than a dozen directors were all enthusiastic.
