Chapter 589 Nominated for Oscar


    Beijing Film Studio began to decline in the late 1980s.


    At that time, heating in the factory during the winter cost 10,000 yuan a month, and we couldn''t afford even this amount. Later, when Han Sanping took office, he was brave and clever. He led a group of directors to go all over the country to beg for help, and asked state-owned and private bosses to sponsor them, so that they could finally make money for filming.


    Then, China Film Group was established and Beijing Film Studio was merged into it.


    Chen Qi pondered this matter until he returned home at night. After dinner, he sat down at his desk to write an article. He wanted to stir up the pond of "Dream of Red Mansions" to avoid being dropped by butterflies.


    Gong Xue was busy with him during this period. She served as the host of the Spring Festival Gala for the second time. The task was not light. At this moment, she was leaning on a recliner, holding the process draft and saying: "Chen, there is something I feel is wrong."


    "where?"


    "Before ringing the bell, everyone came on stage, and I said I wish the athletes good results in Los Angeles and get our first Olympic gold medal! Then Liang Xiaolong said, just like in "Fearless", the Chinese are not the sick men of East Asia!


    Should we remove "Fearless"? Just standing there represents everything. There is no need for him to emphasize "Huo Yuanjia", it''s like advertising. "


    "Okay!"


    "Then I deleted it?"


    "Okay!"


    ? ? ?


    Gong Xue glanced at him, walked to a certain man with her hands behind her back, and said with a smile: "My words are a bit cumbersome, so can I delete them all?"


    "Well, you have the final say!"


    "ah!"


    Chen Qi''s ear was suddenly bitten, and then a soft body landed on his lap, and he said angrily: "What are you writing with so much care?"


    "Oh, just earn some royalties."


    "Let me see!"


    Gong Xue picked up the manuscript and took a look. The title was: "A brief discussion on how to put the Dream of Red Mansions on the big screen."


    "I''m really happy to hear that CCTV''s preparations for "Dream of Red Mansions" are going smoothly and are scheduled to start filming this year. "Dream of Red Mansions" is a great Chinese classic, and film and television adaptations are too rare. Now that domestic movies and television are booming, it is necessary to let a hundred flowers bloom and pay more attention to classics adaptation.


    While I wish all the best for the TV series version, I can’t help but think about how to bring such a masterpiece to the big screen..."


    "With such serious wording, where are you going to vote?"


    "Popular Cinema!"


    "ha!"


    Gong Xue couldn''t hold back her joy and said: "You submitted an article to "Popular Cinema"? Then they will welcome you with joy. You have never written an article for a domestic journal."


    "Yeah, I''ve made all the Hong Kong dollars!"


    "Why do you suddenly care about "A Dream of Red Mansions"? Do you want to film it?" Gong Xue''s eyes widened.


    "I also have a heart that loves classics. How about you playing Lin Daiyu?"


    "Is there a Lin Daiyu as old as me? Do you really want to take pictures?"


    "I have some ideas for the time being, but I''m not sure. I need to research... You can play with yourself first, be good."


    Chen Qi patted her **** and continued immersed in writing. This kind of article was readily available and could be completed in one go. Then he stuffed it into an envelope and prepared to submit it to "Popular Cinema". As expected, it would be published in the February or March issue of the magazine.


    He brushed his teeth, soaked his feet, took off his clothes and went to bed.


    It''s around 10 o''clock in the evening, and the two of them don''t have **** every day, especially in the cold winter, so the frequency is significantly reduced. Chen Qi was lying on his back, Gong Xue hugged him sideways, and whispered before going to bed.


    "The trustee of Shanghai Film Studio sent me a message saying that "Under the Bridge" will be released after the Spring Festival."


    "That''s great. You''re in time for the Hundred Flowers Award. You can win four consecutive championships."


    "What are you thinking about? Then I will be the target of public criticism!"


    "What are you afraid of? The eyes of the masses are sharp. If anyone is dissatisfied, go to the masses. Are you confident about the Golden Rooster Award?"


    "How should I say..."


    Gong Xue nuzzled into his arms and said: "I think the performance was very good. Compared with before, it has a better grasp of the inner drama. I feel it is quite delicate. In your words, it is precise.


    It doesn’t matter whether I take it or not. Anyway, I think it’s best to film a movie in the first half of the year and then take a break in the second half. "Okay, we also have to prepare for pregnancy." "


    "What is pregnancy preparation?" Gong Xue didn''t understand.


    "The most basic thing is to quit smoking and drinking, supplement nutrition, adjust diet, exercise, etc., so that children can be healthy."


    “…”


    Gong Xue blinked and nodded after a while: "Oh, then let me study."


    Having children in this era is different from that in later generations. Let alone the 1980s, Chen Qi had a cousin in his previous life who was born in the 1990s and lived in a rural area. His aunt gave birth to her baby on the kang of her home and hired a midwife from the village.


    Yes, there were midwives in the 1990s.


    It has only been more than 20 years since Chinese people had enough to eat...


    The two of them were talking, and before they knew it, Gong Xue fell silent and fell asleep hugging him. Chen Qi was still asleep and gently touched her hair. She did not come from a major and relied solely on hard study and practice. Her acting skills were raw in the early days, but later she was really good.


    Better than Li Gengxi.


    It''s a pity that there are too few works taken and there is no opportunity for further improvement.


    "Under the Bridge" is historically her work after her double film debut, and the probability of it changing is not high because the opponents are still the same.


    Chen Qi knew that if he said something, Gong Xue would retire without hesitation and become a housewife. But he didn''t want her to have her own career and be a full-time housewife. As time went by, there was no common topic.


    "Now that I''m here, I have to make a breakthrough and continue to become famous internationally. Otherwise, wouldn''t it be in vain?"


    Chen Qi kissed Sister Xue on the forehead, and after finishing the work at hand, slowly polished a good script for her comeback.


    ………


    Just when Chen Qi was busy with various matters.


    Los Angeles.


    At the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills - named after a famous Hollywood producer - the media gathered, along with some studio executives and producers.


    There is no spectacle, and it is not an awards ceremony.


    I saw personnel from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the organizer of the Oscars, walking on stage, holding an envelope and smiling: "We have gone through 56 years since the Oscars were founded in 1929.


    We are happy to see the entries becoming more diverse and exciting.


    Next, I will announce the nominees for this year’s Oscars! "


    Nominations are announced in January every year, and the specific award time is not fixed. This year it is on April 9th.


    "Nominated for Best Editing..."


    "Nominated for Best Costume Design..."


    "optimal…"


    Someone from 20th Century Fox was also present, listening to the announcements one after another, and suddenly heard one:


    "Best Original Screenplay: "Fanny and Alexander" by Ingmar Bergman, "War Games" by Walter F. Parks/Laurence Lasko, "The Big Chill" by Lawrence Kasdan/Barbara Benedek, "Silk" The Kwu Incident》Nora Ephron/Alice Arlen…”


    Finally there is one: ""Life is Beautiful", Chen Qi!"


    "OK!"


    People from 20th Century Fox nodded. They applied for many awards for "Life is Beautiful", but only two were sure to be nominated, screenplay and foreign language film.


    Continue to publish the list.


    "Best Foreign Language Film: "Life is Beautiful," "Fanny and Alexander," "Dance Hall," "Carmen" and "Life is a Struggle"!


    Both are shortlisted!


    And this is not over yet. To everyone’s surprise, the last item announced:


    "Best Picture Nominations: "Mother and Daughter," "Space Pioneers," "Big Chill," "Tender Mercies," and "Life Is Beautiful!"


    "OH!"


    There was a commotion.
