After leaving Teacher Xie's house, Wang Quan turned a corner and prepared to return to his home in this community. There were computers and the Internet there. He planned to take time to write a blog post, and there was a class reunion to attend in the afternoon.

As I walked, I saw a familiar face. He was tall and muscular, with a strong facial profile and wearing glasses. He looked like a rough old man pretending to be gentle.

This person looks like Jiang Wen, no, it’s Jiang Wen!

There was also a young woman on his arm. He said she was a young woman because Wang Quan's sharp eyes saw that her belly was slightly bulging, which meant she was pregnant.

Wang Quan only has two impressions of Jiang Wen's love life. One is a former Mainland Chinese sister who took the middle school politics textbook, teacher Liu Xiaoqing, and the other is a French journalist. The two are married and have children. Are they divorced or married? ?

It's just that Wang Quan is simple-minded and only pays attention to movies and doesn't care much about the private lives of filmmakers. Otherwise, he would have heard about the scandal between Jiang Wen and his fellow junior Zhou Yun last year.

Jiang Wen didn't look like a good person, but he spoke politely and asked Wang Quan for directions with a smile.

Coincidentally, he was asking about the place where Wang Quan had just come out, and it seemed that he was also looking for Teacher Xie.

"Go to the end, turn left, turn left, then turn left again and you will reach Building 6."

"Thanks."

After walking some distance, his wife Zhou Yun said, "That boy just now was so handsome. He must be a student in the Nortel acting class."

Jiang Wen nodded in agreement, "Buttocks are also raised~"

After returning home and sitting down, Wang Quan started typing away at the keyboard.

The title of this article is "Nomination predictions for the 78th Academy Awards, you are not allowed to hit me."

Wang Quan analyzed the information in the "Film and Television Library" and elaborated on his goals for "Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Actor, Best Photography, and Best Original/Adaptation" on the premise of knowing the answer. Screenplay and "Best Foreign Language Film" several important awards.

The other small awards were more perfunctory, and I didn’t get them all right. I was watching the relevant films in the film and television library while I was writing them, so that I could write something meaningful.

It cannot be published after it is written. It will have to wait until the Oscar shortlist is announced. The date should be almost there, but information from the mainland may lag a little behind.

Wang Quan was about to call Dorothy to ask, so she took the initiative to call.

Wang Quan thought that the adaptation copyright matter was settled, but Dorothy said, "Ms. Stephanie and I still have disputes on some details about that matter. That's not what I want to talk about today."

"That is?"

"Congratulations, King David, you have been shortlisted for an Oscar!"

"Could it be..." Wang Quan thought about the first script he sold, which was also the first script to be initiated, filmed and released. Wang Quan also worked odd jobs on the crew for a period of time and accumulated a lot of experience on the set.

That script was originally supposed to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 2008, but it was moved up two years due to King Power. The competition for this award in 2006 was obviously more intense than in 2008, plus I am a pure newcomer and a foreigner. debuff, Wang Quan himself didn’t have any hope, but he didn’t expect that he actually gave this nomination. (Note 1)

Dorothy said excitedly, "Yes, it's that "Lars and the Real Girl"!"

His first screenwriting work was shortlisted for the Academy Award for Original Screenplay. Wang Quan is already at the forefront of many American screenwriters. If you tell it, it will make people go crazy with envy.

If this nomination had come earlier, it would not be a problem for the price of the scripts he sells to double later.

Dorothy regretted, "Actually, this work has a good reputation among critics. It is small and exquisite, and it focuses on marginalized groups. It is not without hope of winning an award. Unfortunately, we are a small workshop and we don't have the money to hire a lobbying company to help you." , unless the next movie’s budget is invested in this PR.”

Wang Quan hurriedly interrupted her, "You are willing to let me go, but I am reluctant to part with you. And speaking of marginalized people, "Crash" is not more marginalized, but has more hope of winning awards. My teacher said that young people should not take awards so seriously, but Boss Tao, you can ask someone to write some soft articles to brag about me as a young genius, and you can also write about the deeds of "Basement", so as to build publicity for the next movie."

"I've thought of it a long time ago. I definitely can't save this little money, but do you have an idea for your next movie?"

"Not yet. We'll discuss it in detail when we get back. My flight is tomorrow."

Dorothy's chest ignited with passion, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"

After putting down the phone, Wang Quan paced back and forth in the room for a long time before he calmed down. Even though there was a plug-in, he still couldn't hide his excitement at this moment.

Although he is not the kind of idiot who regards Oscar as a god, an Oscar nomination can make his future journey much easier, and his reputation can quickly expand at home and abroad.

After thinking about it, he decided to tell the teacher the news, which would bring glory to the teacher.

At Xie Fei's house, he had already comforted Jiang Wen. Just as he was about to see off the guests, his cell phone rang. It was Wang Quan. What, did you leave something at my house?

"Hey, what's going on? Ah? What? What's going on..." Xie Fei stood up with a serious expression, "Don't joke with me about this. I will really take it seriously and tell the principal... What's your name?" Come on, Lars and...Xiaojiang, please help me remember the title of this movie."

He began to instruct Jiang Wen, and Jiang Wen confusedly found a piece of paper and wrote it down.

When Xie Fei hung up the phone, he jokingly asked, "Mr. Xie, what's wrong? Your expression is very serious?"

Xie Fei was a little unsure and said, "I don't know if it's true or not. One of my students said that the script he wrote was nominated for an Oscar."

"Oscar, the American one?"

"How many more Oscars can there be? That's the Oscar. What I asked you to remember just now is the name of the movie he created."

"How old is your student? What class are you in? Are you Chinese-American?" Jiang Wen asked three times in a row.

"Level 03, only 21 years old, a serious Chinese, so I'm not sure, but that kid is indeed capable. He just made a movie in Hollywood recently and sold 20 million yuan, and the cost seems to be very small. One." Mr. Xie's last sentence was somewhat of a show off.

Jiang Wen smiled, "What you are saying is getting more and more ridiculous. You are so capable at the age of 21. You can even catch up with me."

Although he was joking, he also showed a little bit of complacency.

Jiang Wen made his debut as a director at the age of 30, and produced "Sunny Days", which was the mainland box office champion of the year. He also won the Golden Horse Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, etc. Xia Yu, a young boy from Qingdao who is just starting out, has won the Venice Best Actor, the Golden Horse Best Actor, and the Singapore Best Actor. He is simply a genius.

Zhou Yun on the side pushed Jiang Wen, "Please help me ask."

Jiang Wen, "Why are you so curious?"

Zhou Yun, "I'm just curious. You said he's so good-looking, but how can he be so talented? He's got all the good things?"

"It's as if I'm not both good-looking and talented," Jiang Wen said strangely, "That's not right. How do you know if someone is good-looking, being young doesn't necessarily mean good-looking."

Teacher Xie Fei interjected, "It's really good-looking. If you don't know her, you might think she's from the acting department."

Zhou Yun smiled slightly and pointed to a group photo on the wall, "We just met him, Mr. Xie, is that the student you mentioned?"

Xie Fei nodded. That was a photo taken of Wang Quan and him before he flew to the United States. Jiang Wen's new wife is really sweet. It seems that she can weigh more than 180 pounds.

Jiang Wen walked closer and pushed up his glasses, "It turns out to be this young man. Then I have to find someone to help ask."

Xie Fei, "Actually, I think this child will definitely not lie, but it is necessary to find an expert abroad to confirm. This kind of thing must be reported to the principal, which can be regarded as finding someone to endorse."

Zhou Yun suggested, "Ask me about Teacher Chen Chong. Isn't she from the United States?"

In "The Sun Also Rises" that Jiang Wen is filming, Chinese-American actor Chen Chong plays an important character who has his butt touched.

Jiang Wen shook his head, "During this period of filming my movie, she has been in China, and I guess she is not very well-informed about overseas news. I'd better ask Quentin. He must be knowledgeable. By the way, Mr. Xie, what is your student's name?" What’s your name?”

"Kingdom, oh, the foreign name is King David."

"What, a big eater? This guy can eat quite a lot."

Xie Fei: "David Wang."

A few minutes later, as Quentin kept saying "new bee", Jiang Wen put down the phone and said, "I didn't run away, it's true!"
