Entertainment: Banned for Five Years, Became the Godfather of Hollywood

Chu Xuan thought that he would be free after attending the Oscars.

Without the company of Ao Mei, and the filming of "The Godfather" was completed.

All he had to do was stare at the clip.

It turns out that he thought too much.

The day after the Oscars, countless media lined up to give him an exclusive interview.

After all, it is the first best director under the age of 30 in Oscar history!

The record holder is Norman Taurog, who won best director at the age of 32.

Chu Xuan directly pulled the age to 21 years old, I am afraid that it is difficult for anyone to surpass it.

And there were a lot of controversial moments at the Oscars.

Such as Chu Xuan's declaration, the acceptance speech is reserved for next year?

And the best picture, the highly anticipated "La La Land" and "Silence of the Lambs" did not win.

'12 Years a Slave' Can Win Best Picture?

At the moment of the awards, the North American Internet has exploded.

Netizens poured out their anger to the Oscar organizing committee, and also accidentally spread to the "12 Years a Slave" team.

"A dark history, a moving story, but not a good movie #SupportLaLa Land"

"Well...this is simply the weirdest 'Best Picture' in Oscar history""

0

"Black Lives Matter..."

"I'm also black. But in terms of movies, I still like La La Land and The Silence of the Lambs"

"Look at the expressions of these stars below, everyone's reactions can already explain the problem/picture"

"Six Seven Seven" "AMPAS (Oscar Organizing Committee), give me an explanation?"

"Twelve Years a Slave" = Thief

Even some professional media are questioning the professionalism of the Oscars. Have they considered too many off-site factors?

It's a pity that Oscar has always kept his mouth shut, and no one has come forward to speak out.

The "Twelve Years a Slave" team that has benefited is also embarrassed to make a statement.

Everyone can only come to interview the client Chu Xuan.

All the interviews with the media were rejected by Chu Xuan.

He was too lazy to be used as a gun by the media, fighting a war of words.

Chu Xuan didn't have any negative emotions and even wanted to laugh a little.

With the recent outbreak of some movements in North America, it was not unexpected for Chu Xuan that the Oscars would give awards to minorities.

After all, he is still not strong enough.

In this case, they have to completely occupy Hollywood and use enough excellent works to make them speechless.

Chu Xuan wants to cut out "The Godfather" as soon as possible, and then strive to set the file in March.

This will give you time to make another commercial blockbuster for the summer.

After Oscar took Ao Mei to the airport the next day, Chu Xuan was preparing to go back to the editing room of the company.

At this time, he suddenly received a call from Zhao Jinmark.

"Why are you calling now, is "La La Land" cold?

Chu Xuan is also clear that "La La Land" was officially released in Longguo, and the pre-production situation was not very good, and it was squeezed by "Little Times".

It's just that he was busy recently, so he couldn't get a detailed understanding of the box office data there. .

"No, these two weeks have been box office champions, and theaters across the country have taken the initiative to increase the number of films. 35

"Currently, the total box office has exceeded 230 million. After you win the Oscar for best director, it will rise again."5

"Hey, it's not bad.

Chu Xuan is also a little surprised that the audience of Longguo is not very accepting of musicals.

I didn't expect a lot of people to like this movie.

The main reason is that there are no good films in the Dragon Kingdom's Valentine's Day, and the only "Little Times" score will fall below 5 points.

No matter how popular Boss Yang is, he can't stand the script and the director.

They are all set off by their peers, and "La La Land" kills indiscriminately.

It's a pity that this is not a romantic film in the traditional sense, and it can be regarded as a bad taste for couples left by Chu Xuan.

"By the way, then you have a problem calling, right? 99

"Well, the Mai Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang you mentioned, they came directly to the company!"

"Eh? They are also reckless... Well, you stabilize these two first, send someone to take them around, and I will go back tomorrow."

"Okay, it's up to you to talk, I don't know anything."

Earlier, Chu Xuan explained to Zhao Jinmark that he took the script of "Infernal Affairs" to Hong Kong Island to see if anyone was interested.

If you are interested, you can make an appointment to chat.

Chu Xuan is too busy to work on his own, so he simply finds the original director, how comfortable it is to be a producer.

As the company expanded, he only directed a handful of films in the future.

Most of the movies use the scripted investment method, which is more efficient.

Unexpectedly, after reading the script of "Infernal Affairs", these two slapped their thighs, wishing they could bow down to the screenwriter.

The storyline, character setting, lines... almost went to their hearts.

The two of them even had similar ideas when they saw it, but unfortunately they were unable to polish the finished product.

As soon as the two of them combined, they simply went to Infinite Pictures to treat this drama with the greatest sincerity.

It turned out that the screenwriter of "Infernal Affairs" turned out to be the youngest best director in North America, Chu Xuan!

Mai Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang were completely stunned.

Even Chu Xuan made a special trip, they were a little embarrassed.

The next day, the Capital Unlimited Films office.

Chu Xuan, Mai Zhaohui, and Liu Weiqiang sat opposite each other.

After listening to Chu Xuan talk about the plot of Infernal Affairs and the connotation behind the film, the two uncles from Hong Kong Island were even more shocked.

"Director Chu, I'll tell you the truth. We actually planned a similar script before, but unfortunately we haven't been able to get investment, and the script hasn't been polished at all."

"Yes, this book was put on hold for 3 years, and we almost gave up.

They thought their story was perfect enough, but instead they saw Chu Xuan's script.

Only then did the two realize that there really are geniuses in this world.

The script created by the two is a bit like Nicolas Cage's "Face Change", which is just a layer of identity exchange.

But the logic of the whole story doesn't work out, it looks a bit scattered, and it's just a simple action gunfight movie.

Chu Xuan's script completion is quite high, he directly constructed the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy!

The whole story also instantly turned into a serious drama with depth!

"How much investment do you need?"

Since there is no problem with the script, the next step is to invest in the formation of the crew.

Chu Xuan's "La La Land" has grossed $900 million, "Ghost Records" $250 million, and "Silence of the Lambs" $450 million.

The total has already surpassed $1 billion! Add that to The Godfather soon after.

He is fully capable of investing in 3 Avatars at the same time!

Not bad for money!

Infinite Pictures has also grown from a small start-up company to a force that cannot be ignored in Hollywood!

Therefore, facing the two directors of Hong Kong Island, he asked about the investment lightly.

Seeing Chu Xuan's posture, the two looked at each other.

Mai Zhaohui asked tentatively, "2000?"

"20 million? Okay. Who are you going to cast?'

"Uh... Guanxi and Li Cansen?" Liu Wei said weakly.

Chu Xuan couldn't help but help his forehead.

It seems that the two of them can't attract investment everywhere, and they are afraid of being hit.

If you give less money, you can only invite low-profile actors.

"Be bolder, how about Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei, Huang Qiusheng, and Zeng Zhiwei?"

"Eh? Director Chu... This investment is huge.

"Hey, hey! These are the front lines of Hong Kong Island, and they have to cost more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars!"

'Uh... wait. The 20 million you mentioned is in Hong Kong dollars. 35

"That's right." Mai Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang looked at each other, wondering what Chu Xuan meant.

"I'm talking about dollars."

"Hey—" The two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

They begged grandpa to tell grandma, even less than 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

Chu Xuan is worth 20 million US dollars?

So rich!

"Is it enough?"

"Enough is enough!"

"Director Chu is really young and promising!

"Okay, for the specific details, our company will send people to connect with you. Let's set up the crew as soon as possible!

Just as Chu Xuan was about to get up, he added:

"There must be top match, two great directors... You have made the strongest film on Hong Kong Island in ten years! 35

Mak Zhaohui and Liu Weiqiang swear that Chu Xuan is definitely the most ambitious and thoughtful young man they have been in the film industry for decades!

The fire in his eyes is contagious!

"Finished talking?"

"Yeah, it's done. "Infernal Affairs" can start filming next month at the earliest, and it is expected to be released in time for the summer.""

"Great!" Zhao Jinmark clapped his palm happily.

"Then..." She wanted to ask Chu Xuan out for dinner.

As a result, Chu Xuan said:

"For the matter of "Mulan", I will go back to North America to contact director Li An and director Wen Ziren. Don't worry, I will definitely let you act in a movie before the summer."

Then he rubbed Zhao Jinmark's head dotingly.

"Are you going back now?

"Yeah, I have a lot of things to do in North America for my flight at night. "The Godfather" needs to be completed as soon as possible."

"Oh, okay. You're busy over there, take care of your body, don't get tired."9

Zhao Jinmark had no choice but to swallow the idea of ​​keeping him in his stomach.

She knew that when Chu Xuan left North America, it was a last resort.

Now he has a bigger mission, and he can't hold him back.

In the spring of March, "Silence of the Lambs" was finally released in North America.

The thriller and suspense film that has dominated the list for 5 consecutive weeks has won a total of 500 million US dollars in the global market!

Chu Xuan has also been labelled by the North American film media.

"The king of low cost!

Think about it carefully, all his films are based on the classic operation of Xiaoboda!

"Ghost Story" $6,000;

"Silence of the Lambs" $1 million;

The total investment of "The Godfather" is 10 million US dollars;

The largest investment is "La La Land", which is 30 million US dollars.

These are all low-budget movies.

Even if any Hollywood "low-cost love light comedy", the investment will easily surpass that of "La La Land".

So Chu Xuan's sunspot has another argument.

"Chu is very good at taking small and big, and reducing risk through low cost. He is very smart to avoid investing in big productions.

This article is excerpted from the "New York Times", the original text eloquently analyzes the best director of this year's Oscar, Chu Xuan.

He seems to be touting him, but in fact he is questioning Chu Xuan throughout.

His success also boils down to one word - trickery.

Chu Xuan seems to have been created as a "smart person" who only uses genre films

.

Once this article was published, it also had a certain impact on the North American Internet and film circles.

Originally, a Chinese director won the Golden Man, and some North Americans were jealous.

Coupled with his former sunspots and the old Hollywood forces, the three groups of people have reintegrated into a new group.

Together, they even began to question "The Godfather".

"Using Chu's tricks, he may turn this epic theme into a thriller. After all, this is what he is best at."5

As soon as Chu Xuan got off the plane, he received a message from Anne Hathaway.

"Don't pay attention to those people, they are just jealous. People who are familiar with you know your strength!"

While picking up his luggage, Chu Xuan flipped through his phone and learned about the cause and effect.

I didn't expect that within a day of running to the Dragon Country, these people would be doing things again?

Inexplicably, Chu Xuan has become the subject of discussion on Twitter again.

He himself was pissed.

"Big production, right? Okay, when The Godfather is finished, I'll show you what a real big production is! 35
