    "Brokeback Mountain" leads the Golden Globe Awards with seven nominations, surpassing the six nominations of the popular "The Aviator", "Sideways" and the five nominations of "Million Dollar Baby". It is the biggest hit!  .

    The excellent performance of "Brokeback Mountain" caused the number of screening halls to increase a lot the day after the nominations were announced. If it can win the award, it will naturally have a larger screening scale. At the same time, Ang Lee, who has become a momentary figure in the American film industry  The new film "Inside Out" has also received more attention, mainly due to the presence of many unidentified life forms sneaking around and holding cameras near the set. There have been many articles in the media speculating on the content of this new film, as well as in Judy  Foster clarified that he had not joined the new film directed by Ang Lee. After that lucky encounter in a coffee shop, there was another rumor that Judy would play a mysterious role in "Inside Out". This time  Judy did not respond to the media's suspicions.

    As the leading actor in Ang Lee's new film, Mike Mai has also become an indirect beneficiary of "Brokeback Mountain".  Exposure in the United States is gradually increasing.  Some media wanted to ask him to do a TV show. Huo Wenxi wanted to agree, but Ang Lee said "no" without hesitation. He needed Mai Chong to devote all his attention to shaping the character. If he wanted to promote himself and wait for the movie,  Let¡¯s talk after it¡¯s over.  He demands the same of himself. "Brokeback Mountain" has won so many awards, but he has not attended even once and has not been interviewed. Of course, he has to go to the Golden Globe Awards on the 16th, and Mai Chong will also go with him.  , he represents "Lanling Mask", if Zhang Ziyi can finish filming Geisha at that time.  May also attend with him.

    The attention Mai Chong received and the Golden Globe nomination for "Lanling Mask" made many people aware that there was a Chinese blockbuster called "Lanling Mask". Eve felt that the time was almost ripe, so she made "Lanling Mask"  "is scheduled to be released in North America on January 21.  It also happens to be during the Sundance Film Festival. Taking advantage of the success of "Brokeback Mountain", promoting "Lanling Mask" can be said to save time and effort, and the effect is amazing. Mai Chong has begun to look forward to the success of "Lanling Mask" in North America.  A good harvest.  (1_1)

    At this time, Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" also completed a bumper harvest. "Lanling Mask", which had dominated the box office list in the mainland for two consecutive weeks, was rejected by "Kung Fu" and failed to achieve the third consecutive success of "A World Without Thieves"  Crown achievement.

    In its third week of release, "Lanling Mask" still strongly took in 42.88 million box office, and the total box office in the mainland reached 187 million.  Officially surpassed "House of Flying Daggers" and became the annual box office champion in 2004.  Stephen Chow's movie "Kung Fu", which was released on Tuesday this week, earned 11 million in the mainland on its first day and 62.8 million in its first week. Although it is not as strong as "Lanling Mask"'s 70 million in its first week, it is still shocking enough.  In Stephen Chow's home base of Hong Kong, "Kung Fu" even broke the record by reaching 5 million on its first day. Almost all theaters were vacated to make way for "Kung Fu". "Kung Fu" lived up to expectations, with a box office of more than 25 million in its first week.  Hong Kong dollars, and at this time, the box office of "Lan Ling Mask", which had been released in Hong Kong for three weeks, had just reached 34 million.  It seems that it is only a matter of time before it is surpassed by "Kung Fu".

    No matter what, "Lanling Mask" starring Mai Chong is also the top Chinese-language film in Hong Kong, beating "Rhapsody" with a box office of 25 million Hong Kong dollars to become the annual box office champion of Chinese-language films in 2004.  "Lanling Mask" is not a subject that Hong Kong people are keen on, but it has a box office of more than 30 million, although this is not the result of Mak Chong alone.  But it has to be said that Mai Chong already has a box office appeal that cannot be underestimated in Hong Kong. As for how strong this appeal is, it will be tested by his next work.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Mai Chong still looks unshaven, with a messy hair style.  The camera captured him arriving in front of a villa.  Today's scene is about Michael and Mrs. Doug breaking up, and someone hires Michael again, and he comes to the employer's house.

    Michael raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Come in!" A slightly older female voice said.

    When the old woman who opened the door revealed her old face full of wrinkles, I am afraid no one would think of the great beauty Jodie Foster, but in fact she is Jodie. The wrinkles and age spots on her face are deliberately  Jiang Xinnan, who came from China, did it. Mai Chong once said disdainfully that he could do better. Later, Tang Yi became emotional and ignored him for a day. The consequences were really serious.

    The role played by Judy is the mother of Dr. Doug, a cunning, eccentric and indifferent old lady who likes to look at people sideways and reveals her shrewdness in everything. She and her son are very moved.She is very sincere, but she doesn't like her son's beautiful wife. After her son disappeared, she first suspected that her son was killed by this woman, but the police would not accept it based on her own guess, so she wanted the help of a private detective.  She checked on Mrs. Doug.

    This kind of work can be done for money. Michael readily accepted the task after getting Mrs. Doug's photo, address and a dozen US dollars.

    Judy performed this scene very well. Not only did the makeup on her face cover up her beauty, allowing her to give full play to her acting skills, but also because this old lady was a role she had never tried before. Mazi Liu and  Xin Xin spent a lot of effort on the dialogue of this old lady and created a top-notch old woman. Judy believes that this will definitely be an unforgettable old thing.

    Originally, Judy was not part of this drama, not to mention that Ang Lee was not familiar with her before. Her salary alone would definitely exceed the budget. Irving only gave him a budget of 35 million US dollars, and Theron alone accounted for it.  One-seventh of it was paid, and the rest still had to pay for various manpower rental and post-production costs. Ang Lee was careful and calculated to barely make up enough money, and there was really no room for a second Oscar-winning actress.

    However, things are unpredictable. The veteran actor who signed a contract with the crew to play the role of Dr. Doug's mother for only 50,000 US dollars suddenly fell ill and was admitted to the hospital. He was unable to film at all, and the crew could not wait for her to recover. After all, she  We haven't started filming yet, so we just need to find another actor, and we don't have to reshoot the previous scenes. It's just that it's difficult to find a suitable candidate so quickly in a hurry.  It happened that when Ang Lee just came back from the set, Jodie Foster called him to discuss movies and art. Maybe she heard Ang Lee's helplessness inadvertently expressed, and Jodie Foster asked him if he had encountered any troubles.  , so Ang Lee told Judy about Dr. Doug¡¯s mother, and emphasized that this was a very important supporting role. It was difficult for him to find a satisfactory candidate in a short time, so some shooting plans needed to be adjusted. This is  It bothered him a lot.

    After understanding the whole story, Judy smiled and asked Ang Lee, "I don't know if I am a satisfactory candidate. Maybe I am not old enough or cunning and weird enough, but I can try to use my acting skills to make up for all this. Li, can't I  Aren't you going to consider me? Poor me, I don't have any scenes to film recently."

    Ang Lee's first reaction was that it was great. Judy has always been an actor he admired very much. Theron can play the devil. There is no reason that Judy can't play the old lady. He has confidence in the actress, but at the beginning  After getting excited, he hesitated, "But, Judy, our producer is not very generous. I really can't pay your high salary, so"

    "I can be considered a friendly guest star. Aren't we friends?"

    "But the role of this character is not too small." Of course, it is not too much.

    ¡°Then I¡¯ll just collect some salary, how about fifty thousand dollars, I remember that the previous actor was worth this much.¡± Judy laughed.

    This time Li An did not refuse, "I really don't know how to thank you!"

    "If I can learn some directing skills from you, that would be the best thank you to me. I have directed several movies but have never been nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Director. I think I should learn from you.  What am I missing?"

    They both laughed at the same time.

    Just like that, Ang Lee spent 50,000 US dollars to find another Oscar-winning actress to star with Mai Chong, and the joke of one king and two queens came true!  However, Jodie Foster, whose face is full of wrinkles, is really difficult to make Mai Chong have any physical impulse.  For Judy's makeup issue, Tang Yi specially called his girlfriend Jiang Xinnan from China. Mai Chong seriously suspected that he had selfish motives.

    Mai Chong was very happy to work with Judy this time, because both of them were called "cut" by Ang Lee many times. If Mai Chong was the only one who was called "cut", he would definitely not be happy. Having the actress by his side would make him feel more comfortable.  .  Although Ang Lee shouted cut many times, he was still very satisfied with the performance of Judy and Mai Chong. They performed well the first time, but he hoped to do better, so he kept doing it again, which was not satisfactory at all.  I don't feel sorry for the actress who was hired with a huge sum of 50,000 US dollars. When filming, he will not take into account things like friendship and favor. He has the final say in everything.

    When being exhausted by director Ang Lee, Mai Chong only had one belief in his mind, and that was: I want to be a director!

    This is just a trick for Mai Chong to comfort himself when his emotions reach a critical point. He imagines the majestic scene after becoming a director with the power of life and death for the crew. If you can get by, you can do it again, and if you can't do it, you can do it again.  This kind of fantasy can comfort Mai Chong's tired body and mind. This may be what Liu Mazi often said, "Wai Wai is healthier."

    ¡­¡­

    "Squad leader, where are you now?" Liu Yifei's long-lost voice came from the other end of the phone.

    Liu Yifei¡¯s call came very suddenly. It was received after Mai Chong had just been teased by Xiaoyu. When he heard this light and beautiful voice, Mai ChongHe responded poetically, "Sissi, I'm in your heart"
