Chapter 677 Prestige

On February 25, the 53rd British Academy of Film and Television Awards were presented.

This award is called the British Oscar, but it is far less influential than the American Oscar.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" received 14 nominations, of which Yu Feihong was nominated for Best Actress and Xu Jinglei was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

As a result, he only won four awards: Best Foreign Language Film, Best Director, Best Soundtrack and Best Costume Design.

Li An became the biggest winner, from Best Director at the Golden Globe Awards to Best Director this time, he has a high voice for winning the Oscar for Best Director.

Yu Dong attended the award ceremony and went on stage to deliver a speech when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Best Foreign Language Film.

In the British entertainment industry, Haomeng Company has gained a lot of fame.

British film companies are auditioning for actors for "Little Snow's Adventure". There are many roles in this film, with hundreds of teachers and students from the School of Magic alone.

They are more concerned about it than the Good Dream Company. After all, there is only one oriental character in this movie, and the others are all British. This is a story that takes place in the UK.

The film company invited a large number of top British actors to jointly create this magical blockbuster.

Yu Dong joined in with the company's production team and worked with British filmmakers.

It may take some time to adapt, but this is a ten-year project. Haomeng Company must participate in it from the beginning and gradually take the initiative.

After winning the prize, it was a celebration party as usual.

"It can be seen that Mr. Lin has a big heart. British filmmakers are serious about their work, but they are also a bit old-fashioned, not as flexible as Hollywood." Li Yan commented, "I hope that Chinese-language films can open up the Western market. More and more Chinese-language filmmakers stand on the Western stage. Let's work together."

"Director Li, we also need to collaborate on the sequel to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"." Yu Dong responded.

"Let's talk about it, I don't want to touch martial arts films for the time being. I'm tired of filming and publicity. Fortunately, it's about to end next month. I will relax and recuperate for a while." Li An declined.

Yu Dong heard that due to the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Li An returned to the mainstream film industry in Hollywood and received many film appointments, including many large productions.

Universal Films of the United States intends to invite Li An to direct a live-action hero movie adapted from a comic, with an investment of up to 120 million US dollars.

In Hollywood, only top directors can qualify for such a big production.

The investment in films directed by Li An before is generally less than 50 million US dollars, which is the first time he has received such an invitation.

In this case, he definitely chose to take over Hollywood films.

Yu Dong said this just to give it a try. If Li An does not plan to direct the sequel to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Haomeng Company should prepare early and find a replacement director.

in the country, Lin Zixuan is attending the Two Sessions.

This year's Two Sessions ranged from March 3 to March 15, a total of twelve days. He was a member of the literary and artistic circles and joined forces with several literary and artistic people to propose anti-pirated versions.

In fact, with the early preparation, this incident has caused heated discussion in the literary and artistic circles.

Not only the film and television industry, but also the writers and publishing industry are also troubled by piracy. Many old writers expressed support for Lin Zixuan's proposal and received praise in the industry.

Lin Zixuan invisibly gained a wave of reputation.

Everyone discussed the anti-pirated legislation issue, formulated some opinions, and submitted them.

The process of the Two Sessions is roughly proposals, discussions, summary and report, etc.

Lin Zixuan heard someone discussing Zhou Xingchi's "Shaolin Football", which focused on the copyright of "Shaolin Temple" and certain plots that affected the reputation of the thousand-year-old temple of Shaolin Temple.

"Shaolin Football" has been filmed long ago, but there have been quite a conflict.

Zhou Xingchi found a mainland co-production company that could not match the copyright dispute over the film name and suggested that Xiangjiang change the name, but Zhou Xingchi refused to modify it.

He even sued the Copyright Office for the Copyright Office.

They had an agreement, and the copyright ownership of Shaolin Temple became the focus.

After Xiangjiang returns, according to the regulations of the Film Bureau, if a film is a co-produced by Xiangjiang and the Mainland, it must be reviewed by the Film Bureau before it can be released.

In other words, if it does not pass the censorship of the Film Bureau, "Shaolin Football" will also not be released in Xiangjiang.

The interesting thing is that Zhou Xingji wanted to send the movie to the Film Bureau for review, but the Film Bureau is waiting for news from the Copyright Office. Only when the Copyright Office determines the copyright ownership of the "Shaolin Temple" can the Film Bureau determine whether the film has violated the rules and whether it needs to be modified.

However, the Copyright Office will conduct investigations and arguments.

Does the relationship between Shaolin Temple in the movie and Shaolin Temple in reality infringe on the copyright of Shaolin Temple in Songshan?

Argument is not a matter of one or two days. Relevant experts and Buddhist monks need to be invited to discuss. As long as the Copyright Bureau does not give any advice for a day, "Shaolin Football" will be stuck there.

In fact, it was just a change of name, but Zhou Xingji insisted on not changing it.

They think they used "Shaolin Football" to promote it in the early stage, and changing the name will affect the box office at this time.

Besides, everyone knows that Shaolin Temple has appeal around the world.

Xiangjiang movies are used to being funny and joking, and don’t think there is any problem with the name “Shaolin Temple”, but it involves the seriousness of Buddhism in the mainland.

Li An filmed "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which contains Wudang Mountain and Wudang Sect.

The hero Li Mubai is from the Wudang Sect, so there is no problem with this, because Li An did not make the Wudang Sect funny.

"Shaolin Football" is a nonsensical comedy, and there must be something unserious about the plot.

Lin Zixuan once reminded Zhou Xingchi that he could only say that the mainland and Xiangjiang film industries still need to be constantly running-in on the road of cooperation.

From this he thought of "Infernal Affairs", which is also a co-production film and must be reviewed by the General Administration before it can be released.

It may take a lot of trouble and may have to be made into two versions.

The preparations for the film are under the responsibility of Liu Dehua. Lin Zixuan thought about it and planned to join a mainland actor.

The joining of mainland actors is conducive to passing the review and facilitates Haomeng Company's control over the sequel to "Infernal Affairs".

"Huang Bo, pack your luggage, you are going to Xiangjiang." Xiao Ye learned on the phone.

"Xiangjiang? Such a good trip, the company arranged a tour?" Huang Bo said unexpectedly.

"What kind of travel is going to film and work with Liu Dehua. You have a role in it. I have seen it. Although it is a supporting role, the scenes are quite heavy and the death is quite miserable." Xiao Ye described it.

"You are a spoiler, which makes me lose all my expectation." Huang Bo complained.

"This movie is a big production with an investment of more than 20 million yuan. You have heard of "Infernal Affairs". Besides, you know Cantonese, and it's just right for you to act." Xiao Ye said.

Huang Bo has been in Huacheng for several years. He knows Cantonese and can sing Cantonese songs. There is no problem in communicating in Xiangjiang.
