The national goddess of Korean entertainment

"Claire, did you watch the news?"

"Oh." Looking up at Joan, Xu Zhiyuan blinked, clearly absent-minded, "What news?"

Glaring at Seo Ji-won, Joon puts the newspaper in front of Seo Ji-won and points to her directly with her finger.

"Oh, Jennifer Lawrence is shortlisted for the Best Actress Oscar?" Xu Zhiyuan turned her head, "It's not surprising! Isn't she also shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards? Ah, next week is the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. If Lawrence wins the award, then incredible!"

"It's really amazing. If she wins another Oscar, she will be the first post-90s to win an award!" Joan stared at Xu Zhiyuan with a bit of hatred, "Claire, don't you know that Lawrence is your greatest now?" Enemy?"

"Enemy?" Xu Zhiyuan laughed, "You should call it a competitor! I know that since the release of "The Hunger Games", many people have compared me and Lawrence. But Joan, this circle is like this, whether it is a friend or not, Whether it’s a stranger I don’t know, they are all competitors! If every competitor, I regard her as a sworn enemy, then do I still have time to do other things!”

"Lawrence is different..."

Hearing Joan's words, Xu Zhiyuan couldn't even laugh.

Why is Lawrence different?Joan has said it before, they are about the same age, they are all new generations who are praised for their acting skills, and they have all encountered brilliant movies, needless to say, she knows it too.

Isn't it just that someone once made a bet to see who would win the Oscar first, she or Lawrence?

In fact, in terms of awards, Lawrence has already taken a step ahead of her. In the previous 11 years, Lawrence had already won the Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for the "Winter's Bone", and she, although she was nominated for "Inception" "became famous in the United States, and became popular all over the world because of "Dark Angel of the Last Day", but did not receive any nominations.

Of course, the Teen Choice Awards and Saturn Awards are not included.

Since her debut, Xu Zhiyuan has been acting in commercial films, including "The Expendables 2", which made audiences praise Xu Zhiyuan's acting skills last year, all of which are commercial films.

This brought her fame and the admiration of many teenagers, but in contrast, Lawrence, who starred in literary films, received more appreciation from film critics.

Although they appeared in the U.S. market almost at the same time, in fact, the two routes of the two were not the same at the beginning. Because of this, although people have been comparing them, they are not so popular.

But things have been different since The Hunger Games came out.

The same heroine, the same dystopian movie, this fierce battle is even hotter than the battle with Kristen in "Twilight".

Some people say that although Max played by Xu Zhiyuan is also a hero, she is only an individualistic hero, unlike the heroine in "The Hunger Games".

Although Lawrence is not as good as Xu Zhiyuan in acting, her literary and drama is not superior to Xu Zhiyuan.

Especially "Happiness Behind the Dark Cloud Line" at the end of last year proved that Lawrence's acting skills are even better.

Now, the double nomination proves this even more. If Lawrence wins the award, it means that Xu Zhiyuan has been completely suppressed.

Among young actresses, there is no one better than Jennifer Lawrence.

Being stared at by Joan, Xu Zhiyuan just shrugged, "I'm 89, really not born in the 90s."

Therefore, she does not need to compete with the post-90s generation.

When Lawrence won the award, she would only applaud and congratulate, which means that the major awards are more willing to give young people a chance, and her chances of winning in the future will also increase greatly.This is a good thing, what is there to be upset about?

"Hey Joan, how about a drink tonight? You call Emma, ​​I think she should take a break too and come out and relax."

"You came here because you wanted me to make this call, didn't you?" Joan shook her head, but she still went to make a call after all.

"Claire, do you really think directors are better than actors?"

Without answering Joan's words, Seo Ji-won put her hand on the cowhide portfolio and just smiled.

She has focused her 13 years of work on the film "The Incomparably Beautiful Pain", and she has told Joan in advance that she will not answer the phone, and everything will wait until she finishes filming the film.

In fact, since the second half of last year, she has already approved the project.And now is the time to get serious about it.

When I registered a film company before, I didn't recruit too many staff members. One office, two staff members, no matter how you look at it, it feels like a leather bag company.But the truth is, her small film company doesn't need a lot of staff either.

Like filming staff, these can be temporarily recruited during filming instead of being hired as regular employees.In Hollywood, there are many small film companies that operate like this.

As for the investment for filming, Xu Zhiyuan doesn't have to worry about it. In addition to her own investment, she received 2000 million investment from Lobo.

In this way, her movie budget is 3000 million. Although in Hollywood, 3000 million is not a lot to shoot a movie, but it is already considered a good budget for a small-budget literary film.

This time, Xu Zhiyuan didn't want to catch everything by herself, but planned to find a shrewd executive producer.This candidate is naturally chosen in Hollywood.

Emma, ​​who has worked with him before, is naturally the best candidate, and this small gathering is to convince Emma.

Without beating around the bush, Xu Zhiyuan put the script in front of Emma and looked at her with a smile.

"God, don't be like this, Claire, didn't you say you're here for a drink? Don't bring work to the bar..." Xu Zhiyuan refused with a smile, but Emma's eyes still fell on the script.

"God, is this the novel?"

"Yes, the novel that has been on the top of the "New York Times" bestseller list for more than ten weeks. Emma, ​​does your child also like this book very much?"

Turning Xu Zhiyuan's eyes, Emma smiled wryly, "Claire, you are really convincing, tell me! What do you want? You know, Nolan doesn't like to make this kind of literary and artistic films."

"I know," Xu Zhiyuan smiled, "I didn't have the idea of ​​director Nolan, Emma, ​​what I want is you—just you."

Joan on the side rolled her eyes, drank the tequila in the glass, and then put the glass on the bar, "I can't listen to it anymore, you will be misunderstood-Emma, ​​Claire wants you Be her executive producer, she'll be the director!"

Turning her head, she looked at Xu Zhiyuan and said with a smile, "Emma will not leave Nolan."

"Why not?" Seo Ji-won shrugged, "Emma, ​​I know you are Director Nolan's good wife, but you are an independent producer, you should try more, believe me, we will be a couple too Good partner! Think about it, you are the producer of this movie that children like, don’t you want more teenagers to see this movie?”

After drinking the wine in the glass, Xu Zhiyuan laughed wantonly, "In this society, shouldn't there be such movies to let children know what life is? They should know that life is not for them to squander, but is worth cherishing. There are many people who love life so much, but can only watch life go by between their fingers..."

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Seo Ji-won said with a smile: "I want to make this movie—Emma, ​​do it with me! We will make a good movie..."

Facing Xu Zhiyuan's gaze, Emma turned her head away with a smile, and after a moment of silence, she raised her glass and signaled to Xu Zhiyuan, "OK, I'm joining—but, Claire, do you really want to be a director yourself?"

"Yes, I'm no worse than Director Nolan!" After saying this, Xu Zhiyuan laughed and covered her mouth, she smiled and approached Emma, ​​"Don't tell Director Nolan, he will go crazy... "

Emma laughed, looked at Xu Zhiyuan's bright smile, and suddenly whispered: "Maybe, this is a good idea, we will make a good movie..."
