Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the passage formed by hundreds of vermilion torii gates is like a magnificent fantasy in the myth, running all the way, those mottled light and shadows pass by the eyes, making people inexplicably feel a sense of peace and tranquility implication.

As long as she completes the trip with a perfect interpretation of "Xiao Chiyo", all her parts in this movie will be filmed.

Thinking about it this way, the smile on Su Yun's face that should have been due to the plot became even brighter. Using the combination of positioning and photography skills, she tried her best to show the most perfect interpretation of this scene in the camera.

After confirming that the images captured this time have far exceeded the original plan envisioned in his mind, Akira Kurosawa finally decided to accept the goods, and then called the whole crew to prepare to call it a day.

However, it is said that all the scenes in the movie have been filmed, but Su Yun still can't leave all at once: in addition to waiting for the materials shot in the early stage to be printed and edited, various post-productions still need to be done. her participation.

For example, changing the eye pupil color of the girlish heroine played by Momoe Yamaguchi and the geisha-era heroine played by Sayuri Yoshinaga to the same light gray blue-purple mixed color as Su Yun-this seems to people who don’t know the truth. It's already a huge project.

Of course, for Su Yun who has her own cheat system, the amount of work is not too big, the main reason is that it is cumbersome and troublesome to disguise.

The 4004 microprocessor she got before is definitely not up to the workload, so Su Yun had already negotiated with Akira Kurosawa and Mineko Iwasaki when the movie was being filmed, and ordered twenty Intel 8080 chips from Intel at a high price. chip.

What makes people laugh and cry is that this future CPU giant, whose core business is now memory, is quite reluctant to accept this order.

As for why, such a large memory factory will transform into a central processing unit?Then I have to mention the Busicom calculator company that Su Yun once slapped in the face.

At the beginning, Intel did not accept new technology due to the inherent thinking of the market, and the product technology level was not enough and the yield rate was low. The product sales have not been ideal, so that it is supported by burning investment. For a while.

In the end, I don’t know if Intel passed the bad luck to Busicom through the order. After the chip was developed, it was Busicom’s turn to have financial problems, so it had to give up the chip exclusive right to reduce part of the payment, and then it went wrong. This led to Intel selling chips to make up for losses.

But Intel still can't grasp this shareholder wind, and is still stuck in the pit of improving the production process of MOS memory, and can't dig it out.

Hearing that Intel has thrown aside the third CPU, the Intel 8080, which is about to usher in the PC revolution, and ignored it, making the Altair 8800 in her hand a low-end version, Su Yun yelled violently, and almost didn't Flying over by plane, grabbed those blind high-level executives, shook them and questioned them...

After searching left and right, it took a lot of time to finally gather the materials. Su Yun then immersed herself in the big business of building machines, using these first-generation personal computers as a cover for the system cheats to fish in troubled waters.

After fishing in the muddy water, she can get some "rebates" from these machines, and deduct the materials of a few machines for herself to build machines in the future... It's very cool!

When Su Yun was thinking so happily, Pu Chi Fazi suddenly opened the door panting: "Mary, they said that there is some big news coming, and they want you to come out quickly!"

Su Yun was dragged out of the hotel lobby by Puchi Fazi in a daze, and suddenly found that Akira Kurosawa unexpectedly stopped busy filming, and instead sat in the lobby with most of the crew.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, a group of people looked over in unison with an indescribably complicated gaze.

Su Yun paused and was so shocked that she almost couldn't speak Chinese.

Fortunately, her psychological quality was good enough, so she stopped at the spot and tried to calm down, and then she asked in Japanese: "What happened?"

"The nominations for the 46th Oscar are out." Kurosawa replied slowly.

"So?" Hearing the news, Su Yun became much calmer.

"You were nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and you are the youngest among all the nominees!" Zhuang Long added.

Su Yun became calmer now: "Oh."

"Don't you feel anything?" Tomokazu Miura couldn't help asking the question that everyone in the audience wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to ask.

"It's a surprise, I thought they wouldn't give it to me." Su Yun said, and waved her hand indifferently, "But I guess it's just a nomination, so I already know the ending, so I don't need to think about it gone."

Looking at her calm and breezy appearance, I don't know how much she will be angry with those bitter husbands and wives who have struggled all their lives just for that Oscar statuette...

But Su Yun really didn't think it was a big surprise: "Artificial Intelligence" is such a popular commercial film that is so advanced and confuses the core of literature and art. Many people are predicting whether she can win an Oscar nomination for her outstanding performance in it. That's right—if she's white, it's pretty much a sure thing.

Unfortunately, the legendary Mary Sue is a yellow-skinned Asian.

Therefore, those predictions have only become wait-and-see rather than support and encouragement.

It wasn't until the announcement of this year's Oscar nomination list that everyone discovered that there were many innovations in this year's Oscars.

The first is to suspend the presentation of visual effects awards.

As soon as this news came out, most people's previous guess that Su Yun could tie with Kubrick for an award such as the "Best Special Visual Effects Award" was immediately broken, making the original special effects of "Artificial Intelligence" The crowd, who were amazed by the scene, were quite embarrassed.

The second is "The Exorcist", the horror film that grabbed a huge box office and became the highest box office in North America in 73. It not only won the first horror film category in history to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture. , and also nominated as many as ten Oscar nominations in succession; it is the same as the ten nominations of the popular drama "Cheat".

第三个，则是最佳女配提名里，有着足足三个童星：《驱魔人》的琳达·布莱尔生于1959年1月22日，今年15岁；《纸月亮》的塔图姆·奥尼尔生于1963年11月5日，今年10岁；而《A.I.人工智能》的玛丽·苏生于1964年10月1日，虽然号称是10岁，但按照西方算法未过生日不添1岁的算法，提名时严格来算是只有9岁！

Other small innovations are not enough to mention one by one, but just these three have already shocked countless people who have learned the contents of this nomination list.

Although in 1955 there was already a Chinese-American photographer Huang Zongzhan who won the best black and white photography award for his "Rose Tattoo", but seriously, Huang Zongzhan was a Chinese-American when he won the award; British Xiangjiang, but she is still considered Chinese!

So this is the first Chinese to be nominated for an Oscar in the acting category!

To sum up all the reasons, even though Su Yun really didn't have much thought about this nomination, those people at home and abroad who heard the news were already ready to move.

For example, Jiahe's boss, Zou Yunhua, who was far away in Xiangjiang, was planning to rob someone by plane that night.

However, what he did not expect was that Su Yun had already been arranged by Akira Kurosawa and Mineko Iwasaki for a vacation: her post-production work on "Memoirs of a Geisha" was completely suspended, and she only hoped that she could devote herself wholeheartedly to the upcoming "Memoirs of a Geisha" in April. The 4th Academy Awards ceremony.

After all, with just this one nomination, Su Yun's worth has already suppressed the other two leading actresses from different periods.

If they can produce the youngest Oscar supporting actress, their "Memoirs of a Geisha" will be truly star-studded.

If Zou Yunhua, the boss, hadn't come here in person, they would have planned to help out by themselves. In this way, they won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Award, the Golden Lion Award and the Silver Lion Award at the Venice International Film Festival, and the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival. Akira Kurosawa, who was nominated for the best film, also gave Zou Yunhua a lot of advice from his past experience.

This "Memoirs of a Geisha" is the work of Akira Kurosawa who has experienced the brink of death and regained his strength. With his mentality of striving for perfection, it is natural to do as good as he can.

Whether it is commercial box office or artistic evaluation.

Now that Su Yun has the opportunity to greatly increase the box office and other evaluations, is it desperate to export?

It can be seen from this that an international award of sufficient weight can affect various items of a movie-especially the box office.

Even so many film practitioners are crazy about it.

Among a group of enthusiastic madmen, Su Yun, the most important core figure, is the most calm: because she knows that even if she spends a lot of money to operate, it will be difficult for her to beat other nominees and win a little gold medal.

Besides, apart from being calm because she knew that the chances of winning the award were too small, the Oscars, which seemed to be a very heavy weight in the eyes of outsiders, were nothing to her that was the root cause of her calmness.

Maybe those real actors who take acting career as their lifelong goal will regard the Oscar statuette as a perfect ending to their acting career; but in the eyes of Su Yun, whose goal is to become a behind-the-scenes chess player in Eastern Hollywood, this is at best a journey in life It's a good branch line in the game, and you can only get some memorable plot CG and title props if you get through it.

Like chicken ribs, it is tasteless to eat and a pity to discard.

To make it work, you have to spend a lot of money to compete with other nominees, and it is very likely that you will not win. In the end, the bamboo basket was empty, and it was me who performed a clown at the Oscars ahead of time. Own……

If it doesn't work, you have to watch the out-of-print titles such as "the youngest Oscar winner" and "the first Chinese to win an Oscar for acting" slip away.

"Fight, why not fight!" Zou Yunhua, who brought Su Yun back to Xiangjiang Jiahe's meeting room, gritted his teeth, "Although Warner Bros. is very likely to push the young lead actor of "The Exorcist", but with such a rare opportunity, I don't know what to do." If you don’t fight this game, you will never be reconciled!”

Since the day he left the Zhao family, his life these years has been a competition of luck.

Fortunately, from Lu Shaolong to Su Yun, he won all bets with great risk.

Now that such an opportunity is in front of him, even if he uses up all the working capital available to the entire company, he still wants to gamble on it!

With Zou Yunhua's full support, Su Yun sighed and nodded.

"Then, let's fly to the United States to make a plan." Since she agreed to fight, Su Yun naturally entered the fighting state immediately.

"Okay, you go home right away and pack your things and get ready. I'll let someone book a flight ticket." Zou Yunhua also started preparations very neatly.

When leaving, Su Yun suddenly saw Zou Yunhua, who was tidying up the desk, accidentally turned to her to set up a seat facing a photo.

Above are two men with bright smiles hugging each other shoulder to shoulder. Their posture looks like they are very good friends and brothers.

One of them is Zou Yunhua who looks much younger than now, and the other...

Was it the man she had seen in the Yinshan Hot Spring town that time, who was extremely taciturn and had gloomy and sad eyes?
