Chapter 1050: Didn’t Treat Me as a Human Being (asking for monthly tickets)
Because there were award ceremonies every now and then, Hao Yun did not return to China for the time being and played in Miguo with An Xiaoxi for a while.

I also went to Manchester by the sea.

Hao Yun thought he would never return to this uncomfortable place, but in fact, he didn’t feel anything after the filming of the movie.

I think Manchester by the sea in winter is quite beautiful if the weather is good, with blue sky, white clouds and endless coastline.

Next up is the 82nd Annual Rice Ball National Board of Review Awards.

Hao Yun won two awards: Top Ten Films and Best Original Screenplay.

This kind of award has no gold content.

There are many different opinions about the Oscar outposts. Some say there are four major outposts, while others say there are eight. In fact, it doesn’t matter how many there are. The key is to maximize the momentum.

The movie “The Social Network” won four major awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay. It was also selected as one of the top ten films of the year, becoming the biggest winner of this year’s National Board of Review Awards.

It can also be said that Hao Yun lost the second battle.

At the 12st Boston Society of Film Critics Awards on the 31th, “The King’s Speech” won the three major awards of Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.

“Manchester by the Sea” only won Best Cinematography.

It’s also a losing battle.

Instead, it was at the 14th Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards on the 36th that “Manchester by the Sea” finally had its turn.

The founders of this award were Charlie Chaplin, then a film critic for the Los Angeles Times, and freelance writer Ruth Batchelor, and it is one of the important indicators of the Oscars.

“Manchester by the Sea” won four awards in one fell swoop and became the biggest winner.

In addition to winning the Best Film of the Year award, Hao Yun once again won the prestigious Best Director award.

Then there are Best Original Screenplay and Best Cinematography.

Following Hao Yun, Cao Dun has won two Best Photography Awards in a row for “Manchester by the Sea”.

This experience of winning awards abroad, even if the award is of average quality, is enough to raise his status in the domestic photography industry to a higher level.

That’s it for the December awards ceremony.

In fact, Hao Yun not only attends these four award ceremonies these days, but there are award ceremonies every now and then.

For example, the 63rd Directors Guild Awards, the 17th Screen Actors Guild Awards, the 22nd Producers Guild Awards, the 16th Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, etc.

Sometimes I can go to two in one day.

These award ceremonies are very quick, some don’t even require on-site attendance and there aren’t any ceremonies at all.

Of course, there’s nothing good in such a prize.

Some give temporary attributes, and some give short essays on movies.

Only those four award ceremonies had some weight. Hao Yun won eight awards in total, including Best Picture*1, Best Director*2, Top Ten Films, Best Original Screenplay*2, and Best Cinematography*2.

The first four are all related to Hao Yun.

Hao Yun saved up the items and opened the treasure chest, and found that the top ten films and the best original screenplays were all papers.

And it is an English paper about “Manchester by the Sea”.

This must be published too, and published in foreign media magazines, so that they can also see what it means to professionally brag about oneself for thirty years.

The Best Director and Best Picture awards went to the screenplay.

“The Earth”!
“Maudie”!
“goalkeeper”!
Hao Yun did some research and found that none of these three scripts were particularly great, at least not very commercially viable.

It’s hard to make any money from the film, it’s good enough if you don’t lose money.

But it’s definitely not a rubbish script.

The script of “The Good Earth” is like a movie version of “Walden” and also like a healing version of “Manchester by the Sea”.

The heroine, who lost her husband and children, has been trapped in the abyss of sadness and became depressed.

With the mentality of getting away from everything, she ran away to live alone in the deserted mountains, trying to throw away all worldly ties and fend for herself.

Compared with the male protagonist of “Manchester by the Sea”, she is equally unfortunate, but can also be said to be lucky.

The hunter she met when she was dying gave her new life. In the days that followed, she learned various survival skills in the wilderness from the hunter. The heroine’s wounds slowly healed, and she began to love life again and lived her life in order.

After the hunter died of illness, she faced the separation calmly, let go of her past pain, and returned to society again.

This is a film about self-healing and redemption.

Hao Yun felt that the system must know that he needed such a movie to heal those who were depressed by him.

Unfortunately, the quality of this script is far inferior to “Manchester by the Sea”.

The second play is “Maudie”.

This script is adapted from a true story and tells the inspirational story of Canadian folk artist Maude and her husband who make a living through art.

This is a love story, but the script is also tear-jerking.

As to whether it is a cure or depression-causing, it depends on personal opinion. I hope the audience will be more sensible and like it more.

The third script, “The Goalkeeper”, Hao Yun thought it was a football movie.

At present, the most popular football movie in China is probably “Shaolin Soccer”, and abroad there are “Goal to Fame” and “Beautiful Football Soul” and so on.

However, when Hao Yun opened the script, he was immediately dumbfounded.

What a goalkeeper…

Since I became disabled in my legs,
My family members are very reluctant to lift my legs.

Only Yu Hua took me to play football and asked me to be the goalkeeper.

He didn’t think of me as disabled.

He didn’t treat me as a human being either.

When Hao Yun saw this outline, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It turned out that this was the kind of goalkeeper he was.

This entry point is really fresh and unconventional.

The third script is naturally Shi Tiesheng’s personal biographical film. Hao Yun doesn’t know whether there will be such a movie in the future.

But the system still found a way to reward him.

If the system remained silent, Hao Yun’s original plan was to wait for a few years for the company’s directors to grow up, and then focus on making a biographical film about Shi Tiesheng when he had free time.

Now that the system has given the reward, there is naturally no need to wait any longer.

Hao Yun planned to go over the script with Shi Tiesheng after returning to the capital in a while.

When you write someone’s biography, you must compare it with their own.

In case there is anything wrong, it can be modified at any time. Hao Yun does not have too high requirements for the box office of this movie. It would be best if he can make a profit, but if not, he can afford the loss.

However, Hao Yun had too many activities to do in Miguo, so it was not convenient for him to fly back and forth for the time being.

An Xiaoxi stayed for half a month and then went home to raise crabs.

Hao Yun was left alone.

He met with Mads Mikkelsen.

Mads Mikkelsen has been in a state of anxiety since he learned from Giancarlo Giannini that Chinese director Felix wanted to take his contact information.

Of course he knew Hao Yun’s name.

Whether in Hollywood, Miguo, or Denmark, you can hear people discussing this young Chinese man almost everywhere, and there will be media chasing his latest developments.

Hao Yun attracts more attention than the richest man in China.

Mads Mikkelsen specifically sought out Hao Yun’s works to watch, from his earliest “Labyrinth of the Heart” to his current “Manchester by the Sea” and “Source Code”.

He hadn’t seen many of these movies.

The more I watched, the more frightened I felt. Everyone said that Hao Yun’s films were high-quality. This young man had almost never made a bad film. Only after watching his works did I realize that this was not an exaggeration.

Especially his literary dramas.

“The Heart”, “Hello! Mr. Tree” and “Manchester by the Sea” are all classics, and are the most solid foundation for a film master.

Mads Mikkelsen is looking forward to working with Hao Yun.

It was precisely because of this expectation that he felt very nervous.

However, Hao Yun was so busy all day long that he had to play adult games with his wife. It was not until An Xiaoxi returned to China that he thought of auditioning for next year’s movie.

The first person contacted was Mads Mikkelsen.

“Just call me Max.” Max Mikkelsen is 45 years old this year, more than ten years older than Hao Yun.

He debuted in 1996, but it wasn’t until 2006 that he became somewhat famous, which took him ten years.

“Just call me Felix. Max, have you ever been to China?” Hao Yunxian chatted for a while.

He hosted Mads Mikkelsen at the mansion where he currently lives.

The tea used was brought by Hua Xia.

“China has always been a place I wanted to go. I have seen a lot of Chinese scenery on the Internet and in movies. It is really fascinating…”

Mads Mikkelsen may be a little introverted, but there is no problem with his IQ.

Unlike the commonly popular villain actors, he does not have too much of a bad feeling, or the more common vulgar and disgusting image. Mads Mikkelsen always maintains an elegant and rational posture, calm and composed.

It’s a pleasure to chat with him.

Hao Yun talked to him about the beautiful scenery in China that was worth visiting, and then started talking about the movie.

Hao Yun gave the script directly to Mads Mikkelsen for him to read.

Mads Mikkelsen was surprised that it was not popular to show the complete script to others even in Hollywood.

At most, we can just talk about the character’s personality.

He didn’t know that Hao Yun’s audition for a person started the moment he stepped into the room.

When chatting, everything from words to facial expressions is under scrutiny.

Mads Mikkelsen was relaxed at first. He had a pleasant chat with Hao Yun and unknowingly stopped treating this meeting as a serious audition.

After getting the script, he leaned back on the sofa with a polite smile on his face.

However, he quickly sat up straight.

He was always very focused when reading scripts, but this time it was different. He looked up from time to time and couldn’t help but look at Hao Yun who was sitting opposite him.

again and again……

He has seen almost all of Hao Yun’s films that can be found on Miguo, and he has a particularly deep memory of “Manchester by the Sea”.

In this Oscar battle, Hao Yun felt that others were his biggest enemies. In fact, others also felt that Hao Yun was difficult to defeat, and they could only rely on Hao Yun’s Chinese identity, but this was not entirely useful.

Even if it is xenophobic, it is the rejection of foreign films and foreign cultures, not the rejection of foreign people.

Just like they don’t reject Li An.

After all, this place advocates tolerance.

Not only should we not exclude them, we should also consider the impact on public opinion caused by unfair treatment.

Once the opponent catches them, they only care about efficiency when attacking, not the means – arranging a dozen children of different skin colors to hold their legs and call them daddy is a common means.

When Mads Mikkelsen watched “Manchester by the Sea”, he was overwhelmed by the despair, and even now he has not been able to completely let it go.

Now, he was gradually overwhelmed by another kind of despair.

Especially since he is vying for this role, he can’t help but put himself into the story.

The bone-chilling chill and the inability to relieve the depression in his chest were his biggest feelings after reading the script.

“Oh, shit, this is too… too…”

Desperate Mads Mikkelsen wanted to press Hao Yun down on the coffee table, cut him into pieces, spread butter on him, and cover him with bread crumbs…

Teach him how to be a human being and how to write a normal script.

“When faced with an event, we always make subjective assumptions and enjoy the carnival brought by the crowd, but never think about the pressure and pain of the protagonist at the center of the vortex of the event. This is probably what the movie is about.”

Hao Yun looked at the tissue box on the table and it seemed that at least this one would not be used.

“We always assume that children don’t lie… I don’t know how I would look at this problem if I encountered such a thing in real life, but after reading this script, I felt a chill down my spine.”

Mads Mikkelsen didn’t want to explore why Hao Yun always wrote such scripts.

Especially his art films, which actually create a feeling of despair for the audience.

But I have to admit that this guy writes very well indeed.

It is so realistic that many people feel deeply hurt. They will feel depressed for a long time after watching the movie.

“Actually, I don’t know either, because I am easily prejudiced. How about you being interested in this role?” Hao Yun poured the other person a refill of tea.

Mads Mikkelsen picked it up and drank it all, then asked, “At the end of the script, you didn’t seem to mention who fired the gun.”

“Who knows, he was standing on the moral high ground, standing in the sunlight, Lucas couldn’t see it, or it wasn’t just one person, it wasn’t anyone.”

Hao Yun shook his head and said.

The two fell into silence, but Hao Yun was not worried that Mads Mikkelsen would reject the film.

And he completed the audition.

Mads Mikkelsen can definitely play the role of Lucas well. In fact, while reading the script, he has already become Lucas to a certain extent.

It’s just that he himself doesn’t know it.

“Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I think I would like to act in this movie.” Mads Mikkelsen opened the script again and put it back on the table solemnly.

“OK, let’s go to a town in Denmark to shoot. Maybe Max you can help choose a location. We’ll probably start shooting around March next year.” Hao Yun finally got the leading male role in “The Hunt”.

After the filming, maybe I can go to Cannes or Venice.

This is a very weighty film.

It is not impossible to win the Palme d’Or or the Cannes Best Actor Award.

The Berlin Best Actor and Venice Best Actor awards have been announced, but the only thing missing is a Cannes Best Actor award.

“I’m available anytime.” Mads Mikkelsen took the script very seriously.

Even if he had to turn down all other invitations, he would still wait.

“Oh, by the way, the budget of the movie may not be high, probably only five million dollars.” Hao Yun said apologetically.

The fact that “Manchester by the Sea” had a box office of nearly 30 million US dollars was due to a variety of factors. Under normal circumstances, it would have been good to have 15 million US dollars.

So Hao Yun limited the cost of “The Hunt” based on the box office revenue of more than 10 million US dollars.

Moreover, the costs of “The Hunt” are indeed more controllable.

Mads Mikkelsen’s current pay is not high. If it is an art film, he can be hired to star in it for a few hundred thousand dollars.

If Hao Yun could take less of his director’s fee, five million would be more than enough for him.

“No problem, I don’t need any pay.” Mads Mikkelsen said decisively.

He had become obsessed with the script.

From a utilitarian point of view, although this movie cannot pay him too high a salary, after all, he is the leading actor, which is already a good resource for Mads Mikkelsen who plays supporting roles most of the time.

If he wins an award, he will have more opportunities to choose scripts in the future.
