Chapter 358 Nomination, Three Women Meet

As the end of the year approaches, the tax authorities come to visit.

Zhang Weipin sweats on his forehead, and he has no intention of caring about the Oscars.

Now he only cares about one thing, that is, how to get through this crisis.

He knows whether it is clean or not.

But he also knows whether the problem is big or not.

As long as Lao Mouzi is still there and he protects it, the problem is not big, and at most he will lose a sum of money.

Although it will be painful, it can also be landed safely.

But in this way, it will be difficult to continue to be deeply bound with Lao Mouzi in the future.

Zhang Weipin is in a state of panic, and Lu Ping'an's reputation in the outside world has also reached a new high.

11 Oscar nominations!

It is difficult for other movies to get one nomination.

As a result, Lu Ping'an got 11 nominations, which is even more powerful than last year's "Brokeback Mountain"!

The key is that the film that won 11 nominations this time is no longer an American film, but a serious Chinese-language film.

"1937", everyone knows about this.

It talks about the events in Nanjing, and the actors and so on are all Chinese.

Its significance is completely different from "Brokeback Mountain", an American story, and a sensitive feature film with some opportunistic themes.

Xingchen General Manager Wu Guohua said directly in an interview: Director Lu hopes to use this method to put the events of the year on the international stage for the whole world to see!

This time, Lu Ping'an has officially cleared some invisible shackles on him.

In the past, some people always said that Lu Ping'an was opportunistic.

After winning the Oscar for Best Director, some people said that he was not justified for the Chinese people.

After all, you made an American film, the story is also American, and the subject matter is so unorthodox.

So the Oscar statuette was also covered with a coat of shame.

Now, Lu Ping'an directly brought the story of the War of Resistance against Japan to the international stage and won 11 nominations in one fell swoop.

This is not only a victory for Chinese-language films and filmmakers, but also a victory for Chinese stories and the victory of the anti-fascist war.

For a time, it was praised in China!

Then everyone quickly began to analyze how many of these 11 awards would be won in the end.

Of course, some people also turned around and lashed out at the corpse of "Curse of the Golden Flower".

They said that 1937 should have been nominated as the best foreign language film.

Or they could have replaced 1937 with The Bucket List or The Good Man of Three Gorges.

Why did it have to be Curse of the Golden Flower?

Do you like to let people watch Nazi so much?

It's speechless!

Everyone is bashing Curse of the Golden Flower again, and they are also looking forward to 1937.

Some are looking forward to the award results.

More people are looking forward to when it will be released.

Everyone already knows.

This is a "one-shot" movie.

So how great is this movie to get 11 nominations?

And Star did not keep it a secret, and directly announced that 1937 will be premiered worldwide on February 8, the opening day of the Berlin Film Festival, and in China it will be after the Oscars, which is early March.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

In the industry, everyone's attention is actually more focused on New Picture.

Those who are well-informed already know that New Picture is under tax investigation.

No need to guess, everyone thinks this has something to do with Lu Pingan.

But everyone likes to see it, after all, Zhang Weipin's popularity in the circle is really bad.

In the past, no one dealt with him, and they were afraid to deal with him. He is so smart, relying on Lao Mouzi, he didn't commit major crimes, but he kept doing minor crimes, and he was always outspoken and did disgusting things.

Now, Lu Pingan's situation has become established, and he will definitely not stop until he makes you lose several layers of skin this time.

As soon as Lu Pingan made a move, the relevant investors tied to Lao Mouzi also showed a different attitude.

Hu Qingquan, Wu Guohua and Lu Pingan received a lot of calls.

In short, they mainly seek peace, hoping to take it easy, and it is best not to affect Lao Mouzi.

Obviously everyone knows that Lao Mouzi is the key, and Zhang Weipin is nothing.

But Lao Mouzi has a handle in Zhang Weipin's hand, and the two of them can't be separated for a while.

So Lao Mouzi also called to persuade him to make peace.

But Lu Pingan's intention was very firm.

Over the years, Zhang Weipin has been disgusting people with his despicable behavior. This time is no exception. Good guy, he is so unlucky that he can do such a thing?

He must be dealt with!

As a result, Zhang Weipin made a statement in China through reporters that day, saying that he publicly apologized to Lu Pingan for the improper behavior of Xinping during the release of "The Bucket List".

This public apology immediately occupied the top spot in the entire domestic entertainment and even social circles.

After the public apology, domestic bigwigs also called to persuade him to accept it, otherwise it would make outsiders laugh at you. After all, you two are the two top directors in China.

On the third day, Zhang Weipin personally came to the "Batman 2" crew to meet Lu Pingan.

Apart from other things, his attitude was indeed very appropriate.

But Lu Pingan didn't feel anything. He just asked: "The handle he has in your hand is quite big!"

Lu Pingan naturally knew what the handle was.

He even felt that the actual handle Zhang Weipin had on Zhang Weipin would be much bigger than what was later made public.

Otherwise, how could Lao Mouzi do this?

A public apology is indeed a very big deal for someone of Lao Mouzi's level.

However, Lu Ping'an didn't really think of killing him.

It is better for Zhang Weipin to stay with Lao Mouzi now.

Otherwise, there will be no "Three Shots Surprise".

How can there be no classic in the history of bad movies?

In addition, even if you want to completely kill him, it is actually impossible to do it with ordinary means. Zhang Weipin is still quite smart. Although he is arrogant because of Lao Mouzi, he is not really unscrupulous. He also has to consider the impact on Lao Mouzi, so he has not left too big a hole for himself over the years.

So when Lao Mouzi smiled bitterly and did not answer, Lu Pingan did not ask any more questions.

But Zhang Weipin had to take off his skin. He offended Lu Pingan and wanted to get away with it? Impossible.

Lao Mouzi also understood the meaning. Anyway, for him, the current result is the best.

The next step is also very interesting. After talking about the main things, Lao Mouzi did not rush to leave after making a phone call, but stayed to watch Lu Pingan filming.

Lu Pingan didn't chase them away, after all, they came with the local consular publicity personnel in Los Angeles.

However, they always chatted during the period, and the two people's thoughts seemed to be 100% turned to movies.

As for movies, the two of them talked very happily.

And this was the first time they talked about movies in all these years.

It seemed that they had a kind of mutual appreciation.

For Lao Mouzi, he had actually been thinking about it since Lu Pingan invited him last time.

He also wanted a bigger stage where he could perform freely.

But unfortunately, some things were really beyond one's control.

For Lu Pingan, he actually didn't like to do those messy things.

It would be great to just talk about movies, chat with all kinds of excellent people, and learn from each other. This is the pattern that professional directors should have.

When it was time to finish work in the afternoon, Lao Mouzi left reluctantly and went back to deal with Zhang Weipin's troubles.

Lu Pingan didn't have time to be happy because his troubles also came.

"Why are you all here?"

After a day of shooting, Lu Ping'an returned to the villa in Beverly Hills.

When he entered the door, he saw three women sitting on the sofa.

Liu Shishi, Gao Yuanyuan and Li Zi.

The three of them were scattered in a triangle, looking quiet, but in fact, undercurrents were surging.

A super Shura field arrived early.

Li Zi spoke first, with a meaningful look in her eyes: "Isn't the world so big, you want to go and see it? Now it seems that the world is indeed big!"
