Chapter 329: Because of Shen Lang, Jiaobenji and Bangzi quarreled

Spielberg stayed in China for a whole week, and after repeatedly confirming the quality of Tiangong's works, he finally decided to officially sign a contract with Tiangong.

The first business deal after Tiangong Image was acquired by Jialan was successfully negotiated in this way.

And all this is thanks to Shen Lang.

Before leaving, Spielberg said to Shen Lang: "Jeff, I really like your movies. We must work together if we have the chance!"

"By the way, are you interested in playing a role in my Jurassic Park 2? Although the lead role has been decided, I can add a cameo role for you!"

Extra drama?

A cameo?
"Don't be ridiculous, I'm a huge fan of the first Jurassic Park movie, you can't fool me!"

"Your so-called guest role is nothing but dinosaur poop in the end, so forget it!"

"Hahaha~~~" Spielberg laughed so hard that he fell over.

After sending the big boss away, Wang Peipei looked Shen Lang up and down in surprise: "I used to think that you, Mr. Shen, were a pervert, but now it seems that you also have social bullshit. Steven, do you know his status in the Berry Film Industry? How dare you make such a joke with him?"

Shen Lang shrugged his shoulders: "What's the problem? He is a human being, and so am I. I am no less capable than he is. Besides, I have what he needs. He should be begging me for help, okay?"

Giving a thumbs up, Wang Peipei exclaimed: "She is awesome! I admire you!"

"Don't tell me that. Steven has already said that he wants a trailer for Jurassic Park 2 in ten days. The model is already on the plane!"

"I really can't stand the ugly faces of you capitalists!"

……

Eight days later, the global box office figures for "Train to Busan" were released one after another.

This movie, set in South Korea, broke the record for the number of viewers in South Korea on its first day of screening, with 10 million viewers watching the movie in theaters that day.

The total box office in North America was 1898 million U.S. dollars, of which China contributed 5120 million U.S. dollars, and the global total box office reached a staggering 1.2 million U.S. dollars.

This data not only set a new record for Asian films in the global box office, but also broke into the TOP100 of the global film box office.

Of course, this does not include piracy. If piracy is included, the data will be even more shocking.

All of a sudden, the entire Asian region went crazy.

The famous director Kitano Takeshi said immediately: "Although the movie "Train to Busan" is not my style, I like the script very much. In fact, the main creative staff of this movie, especially the screenwriter and the leading actor Shen Lang, are worthy of our Asian pride for being able to achieve such a global box office!"

Someone asked him if he would cooperate with Shen Lang in the future?
Kitano Takeshi said without hesitation: "If Shen Lang is willing to provide the script, I am willing to be the director for free, and I will not get even a penny after the movie is released."

When the news reached China, Shen Lang responded: "Kitano Takeshi is my favorite director! I am looking forward to working with him!"

The media of Jiaopenji revealed that Shen Lang actually intends to cooperate with Takeshi Kitano, and many fans are already looking forward to when Shen Lang will visit Jiaopenji.

Even the Prime Minister of China revealed in a media interview that over the years, Shen Lang is one of the few Chinese actors who has been warmly welcomed by China fans. He hopes that the two countries will take advantage of this opportunity to further strengthen cooperation in the field of literature and art.

After hearing what Prime Minister Jiongben said, the President of South Korea was strongly condemned by the people for not speaking out about the matter. "Our government is so inefficient. This is obviously a South Korean film. Shen Lang has South Korean blood in him. The first to welcome Shen Lang back and continue to promote the Korean Wave should be our government. I don't understand why Jiongben got there first!"

"That's right, Train to Busan is the pride of our country! Shen Lang is a Korean, but he was the first to be welcomed by the fans. This is totally unreasonable!"

"What is Kitano Takeshi? He is not as good as our Korean directors! It has been many years since the Seven Samurai was made, and he is still living off his past success? He is almost in his grave, and he is still marrying a young woman. He is really shameless!"

After hearing this, the netizens on Jiaobenji were furious: "We don't care about you forcibly adding Shen Lang to the Korean country, after all, this is your shameless basic operation in the Korean country, but what right do you have to scold Kitano Takeshi?"

"That is, is there any director in your country who can compare to Takeshi Kitano's achievements?"

"You look down on Takeshi Kitano, so why did you give him an honorary award at the Busan Film Festival? Koreans are shameless. They slap themselves in the face for what they have done!"

……

Watching the fierce exchanges between the people of the two countries, Chinese netizens remained calm.

The so-called Shen Lang is a Korean, but everyone just treats it as Korean bullshit.

As for working with director Jiaobenji, this is possible. Although Takeshi Kitano has many flaws as a person, he has always been known for his boldness in speaking and acting, and he has many fans in China.

Chinese audiences are not concerned about this issue. What they care about is that this movie has been nominated for major awards.

In fact, it is nothing new that Shen Lang’s films have been nominated for major awards.

Not long ago, he was awarded the Oscars for Best Screenplay and Best Actor in his absence.

Cannes, Venice and other places were rejected directly.

The question that netizens are concerned about now is how many awards "Train to Busan" will be nominated for... There is no way, there are too many film festivals nominating this movie.

Canadian Fantastic Film Festival, Busan Film Awards, Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival, Korean Film Critics Association Awards, Blue Dragon Film Awards, Macau International Film Festival, Asian Film Awards, Baeksang Arts Awards, Tokyo Film Festival, Venice, Cannes...

There are too many, too many to count, absolutely too many to count.

It is estimated that the travel expenses for Jialan’s staff to receive the award is a huge amount of money.

Among these awards, what attracted more attention was that "Train to Busan" was nominated for multiple awards such as Best Visual Effects, Best Post-production Technology, Best Editing, and other post-production awards.

Seeing this, people can't help but think of Sohu editor-in-chief Wu Qing's interview with Shen Lang and Tiangong a while ago.

In the interview video, the technical staff of Tiangong Image completed a post-production animation in front of the camera. It is said that this kind of post-production effect would take about half an hour for a top post-production company in Europe and the United States, but Tiangong Image only took ten minutes.

Netizens have been discussing whether our country’s post-production technology has really advanced to the world’s leading level?

Is it true that Shen Lang was not bragging?

Otherwise, why were some awards specifically given to Tiangong Image?
Especially South Korea’s own Blue Dragon Award.

Given their character, if someone throws a can at their doorstep, they will say that they just finished drinking it. If Tiangong really outsourced GHC, would they give the Qinglong Award to Tiangong?
