Today, we have guests!
Sun Hao specially gave the crew a half-day off just to cook for these guests. There was no other way, the Chinese food here in the United States was really terrible.
Of course, Sun Hao didn't make anything complicated, just a few flavored eggplants, dried fried mushrooms, braised pig's trotters, iron pot fish and other common dishes for everyone to enjoy.
It was okay for these people who had just come from China, and they were not very hungry for Chinese food, but Jiang Wen, Gu Changwei, Zhang Jingchu and others who had been accompanying Sun Hao in Los Angeles for filming couldn't hold it in anymore. When they smelled the aroma of cooking in the kitchen,
When the child came out, his eyes immediately lit up.
Damn it, today, I finally don’t have to eat pizza and drink beef?!
There are not many varieties of dishes, only six, but the portions of each are really amazing, and the dishes are served in sharp stainless steel basins the size of a head.
The girls headed by Zeng Li, Wang Xiaochen, and Zhou Yun did not want to sit at the same table with the gentlemen, so under the leadership of Zeng Li, they set aside some of each dish, and then they carried these dishes to the villa building.
on the terrace.
According to Wang Xiaochen, who is adventurous by nature, they want to cook vegetables and drink red wine in a glass house on the terrace while admiring the sea view outside the window.
Gentlemen don't know how to be romantic, that is, in a restaurant, put the spare tables together, and then sit together to drink and chat.
"Haozi..."
"Um?"
"Have you received the second installment of "Fast and Furious 2"?" The first person to speak was Han Shanye. He picked up the kuaizi and took a mouthful of dried fried mushrooms from the plate and put it in his mouth.
Chew slowly.
"I got it, it seems a bit much, right?"
Sun Hao's tone was calm, as if he was talking about a very ordinary matter.
"not much!"
At this time, Yu Dong waved his hand.
"'Fast and Furious 2' has been in theaters for 21 days and has grossed US$2.078 billion in global box office. According to the agreement we signed, as a director, screenwriter, and producer, the money you get should be 1/10 of that.
.
But you also know that we are all kind-hearted people, and we will cooperate more often in the future. There is no need to worry about sharing the accounts. Of course, the main reason is that you and everyone else will make money from the Sony Pictures matter.
Got the money.”
"Hmm... Then I'll accept it."
Seeing that they spoke so straightforwardly, Sun Hao smiled and picked up the wine glass. Regardless of how others drank, Sun Hao's first sip of wine caused the glass to bottom out.
It’s not easy. It’s really not easy to make them sincerely give up the 100 million they are about to get!
Therefore, you must perform something yourself.
"Haozi..."
"Um?"
"How confident do you think the movie "Parasite" will win the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the Academy Awards ceremony the day after tomorrow?"
"Half and half!"
At the last moment, Sun Hao finally revealed the truth.
"If we hadn't tricked Sony Pictures, it is estimated that the probability of "Parasite" winning the award would have been as high as 80%, but now, it is only half."
"Didn't Harvey Weinstein contribute to the operation?" Zhang Yimou asked.
"have!
If he hadn't shouted so hard, we probably wouldn't have even had a 50% chance of winning the award, because a group of Chinese people have slandered a Hollywood film and television company, which is somewhat taboo."
"But Sony Pictures is Japanese?" Gu Changwei was puzzled.
"But its business focus is in Hollywood. In a sense, it is an American film and television company." Sun Hao smiled and raised his glass for the second time.
"Come on, come on..., drink!"
Jiang Wen, who was silent, suddenly became interested. He drank the white wine in the cup in one gulp, and then lowered his voice mysteriously:
"Let's not talk about "Parasite" for now.
Brother, I have been working with Junior Brother Sun Hao to save a very cool movie script these days. Well, it’s called “Let the Bullets Fly” and it’s about the Republic of China.
What about the cast?
I plan to invite directors Fa Ge, Sun Hao, and Zhang Yimou..."
But as soon as he said this, Zhang Yimou waved his hand vigorously.
"I can't do it anymore, you should be looking for someone else!
I really don’t plan to appear in any more movies, because the current netizens are so mean, saying that I am the pathetic movie director who likes to win Best Supporting Actor the most!”
"Pfft..."
"Hahaha…"
As soon as Zhang Yimou finished speaking, all the people present laughed at the same time.

February 29th at 4pm
There was already a sea of people in front of the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and reporters from major media outlets around the world blocked the entrance.
Because the movie "Parasite" directed by Jiang Wen received 4 Oscar nominations this year, there were many Chinese reporters present, and they could be seen in all four interview areas.
For this year's Oscars, what Chinese movie fans are most concerned about is undoubtedly whether "Parasite", directed by Jiang Wen, written by Sun Hao, and co-starring Jiang Wen, Zhang Yimou, and Sun Hao, three top domestic film directors, can win the award?
On the Internet, almost all netizens who care about this matter are discussing who among Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, and Sun Hao can come true this time?!
Or maybe everyone can gain something!
Just like last year, for this Academy Awards ceremony, the three major domestic portals are simultaneously live broadcasting pictures and texts, and Sohu Video, which is trying its best, directly won the right to live broadcast the awards ceremony online this year.
For the first time, an awards ceremony was broadcast live online, and two great figures in Chinese opera, Professor Chang Li and Professor Liang Bolong, were invited to sit in the live broadcast room to comment.
"Hello, Professor Liang!"
"Hello host!"
"As we all know, both Jiang Wen and Sun Hao are outstanding graduates from our Central Academy of Drama. From your point of view, can they win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language, which is the most watched by the Chinese people, if they join forces this time?
Film award?”
"To be honest, I don't know either!" Liang Bolong smiled heartily.
"However, judging from the artistic achievements of the movie "Parasite" alone, it is fully capable of winning an Oscar!"
"Haha, Professor Liang, let us borrow your good words and let the audience sitting in front of the computer follow our live broadcast to see if Director Jiang Wen and Director Sun Hao can make their wishes come true?"
After saying this, the host immediately turned to Chang Li.
"Professor Chang, some time ago, there was a slight twist in the Chinese Drama Art Examination. Some netizens hoped that director Sun Hao's sister, Wang Xiaochen, would give up her art exam qualification to candidates who need it more.
And you have refuted this view in various media, saying that our country's art schools train children based on his or her artistic talent, not simply so-called fairness.
Because if you don’t have talent, even if the school gives you a chance, you won’t be able to achieve anything?
May I ask, do you still insist on this view?"
"certainly!"
At this point, Chang Li pointed to the real-time footage from Hollywood in the United States in the live broadcast room.
"Our actors should go to Hollywood to fight like Sun Hao. Since their film culture can invade our country, then our country's culture can also spread in their country.
Chapter completed!
