    After leaving Canada, Wan Xiaohu returned to Hollywood with a lot of copies.  He will spend the remaining time editing the prints into a film, and then arrange for Weta Digital and Dragon Warrior to do special effects production.  Throughout the final period of filming and completion, Wan Xiaohu was in a good mood.  The reason why this is great is because the Oscar awards season from 2007 to 2008 has officially started on November 30.  Throughout December, various major awards brought Wan Xiaohu many surprises.  On November 30, 2007, the nominations for the 12th Golden Satellite Awards were announced.  "Kung Fu Panda" is nominated for the Best Animated/Multimedia Film Award.  The Golden Satellite Award is selected by the non-American journalists organization of the Hollywood Foreign Press Society. Founded in 1996, it is known as the "Little Golden Globe Award" and is one of the famous "Oscar weathervanes".  On December 4, 2007, the nominations for the 35th Annie Awards were announced.  "Kung Fu Panda" ranked first with 14 nominations in 11 awards.  Nominations include Best Animated Film, Animated Feature Director (Wan Xiaohu), Animated Short Film ("Kung Fu Panda: Noodle Family"), Animated Visual Effects, Character Animation, Animated Character Design, Music (Hans. Zimmer, John. Powell),  Art direction, storyboard, dubbing (Wan Xiaohu, Zhou Runfa, Ian Messian), screenwriter (Wan Xiaohu).  The Annie Award is an animation award and one of the highest honors in the animation field. It has been held since 1972 by ASIFA-Hollywood, a member of the Los Angeles, California, branch of the International Animated Film Society.  This award was originally designed to reward lifelong achievements in the fields of animation director, production, production, design, screenwriting, dubbing, sound effects and soundtrack.  Later, the Annie Awards began to evaluate animation as a whole and established an award for the best animated film. This award was subsequently established in various animation fields.  On December 6, 2007, one of the five major Oscar winners, the 79th National Critics Circle Award, was announced.  "Kung Fu Panda" directed by Wan Xiaohu won the best animated film.  The first hit of awards season!  December 10, 2007, one of the five major Oscar trendsetters and one of the three major film critics awards in the United States.  The 73rd New York Film Critics Circle Awards were announced.  "Kung Fu Panda" scored another hit by winning Best Animated Feature.  On the same day, the 33rd Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, one of the five major Oscar trendsetters and one of the three major film critics awards in the United States, were announced.  "Kung Fu Panda" still won best animated feature.  The third shot hit.  On December 11, 2007, the 20th Chicago Film Critics Association Awards, one of the three major film critics awards in the United States, was announced.  Not surprisingly, "Kung Fu Panda" once again won Best Animated Feature.  So far, "Kung Fu Panda" has won all three major film critics awards in the United States (Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles).  December 13, 2007.  One of the five major Oscar trendsetters, the 65th Golden Globe Awards announced nominations.  "Kung Fu Panda" was shortlisted for the Best Animated Feature Film award and has the highest reputation for winning it.  The American Golden Globe Awards began in 1943 and are hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. It is one of the most important awards in the American film and television industry and the most important award after the Oscars. ? But it¡¯s a pity.  This year¡¯s Golden Globe Awards will most likely not be held.  The reason is simple. When Wan Xiaohu was leisurely filming a movie in Canada, more than 12,000 Hollywood screenwriters were on strike, and the entire Hollywood film industry basically stopped working.  Movies have stopped, and the upcoming Golden Globe Awards ceremony will naturally be a waste of time.  It¡¯s hard to say whether the Oscars will even go ahead smoothly.  There is no award ceremony, so you still have to choose how to choose the awards.  On December 16, 2007, the 12th Golden Satellite Awards were held, and "Kung Fu Panda" unsurprisingly won the Best Animation/Multimedia Film Award Before Christmas on December 25, most of the awards season had been announced  Awards, three major film critics awards and five major Oscar trendsetters.  Except for the Golden Globes and the North American Society of Film Critics Awards, which have yet to be determined, everything else has been announced.  "Kung Fu Panda" is a huge success and has won all the awards it can win.  ""Kung Fu Panda" has conquered film critics and reporters around the world, and there is no doubt about next year's Annie Awards, Golden Globes and Oscars! The best animated film in 2007, it's a win in advance!" - "Variety" magazine.  "After Ang Lee won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Director, a Chinese director is about to win the Oscar for Best Animated Film! The Chinese have made a big step forward in their journey to the Oscars!" - "Global Times".  While the media was touting "Kung Fu Panda", Wan Xiaohu and senior executives such as Adam Ferguson and Kevin Feige were sighing in the office.  The reason is the writers' strike that started on November 5 this year. Strictly speaking, Wan Xiaohu is also a screenwriter and has written many scripts. He should support the screenwriters in fighting for their own interests.  "It's a pity that he is not only a screenwriter, but also the boss of a production company. It is in his interest to exploit the interests of screenwriters.  Even if he doesn't exploit the screenwriter, he can'tAs a result, the screenwriters of Sasha Entertainment and Manway Comics all went on strike to participate in the general strike.  The strike was initiated by the Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) and the Writers Guild of America West (WGAW). These two unions represent the American entertainment and journalism industries who have contributed to film, radio, television, and new media.  Screenwriters.  More than 12,000 screenwriters have participated in the strike.  The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) represents 350 film and television producers, including studios, broadcast networks, television networks and independent producers, and negotiates 80 types of film and television disputes.  Obviously, Wan Xiaohu, a member of AMPTP, is also one of the targets of the strike and protest.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????Because the writers' strike has caused more than a hundred movies to be suspended, and direct economic losses are increasing at a rate of millions of dollars every day.  "The Incredible Hulk", "Slumdog Millionaire", "The Twilight Saga" and "The Hurt Locker" are currently being produced by Sasha Entertainment, and "Wall-E" and "Up" are currently being produced by Abao Animation.  "Travel Notes" and "Despicable Me", for which Wan Xiaohu once again provided the script, were both affected and stalled.  On the one hand, the subprime mortgage crisis has had a great impact on the U.S. economy, and the film industry has begun to show decline. On the other hand, screenwriters have gone on strike, hampering normal production.  This year has been absolutely tragic for Hollywood.  "I just went to communicate with Nick Conte. He said that the attitude of other AMPTP members is very resolute. If the strike continues, then negotiations cannot be resumed. The WGAE and WGAW are also very resolute and have made their attitude clear, saying that this is a  A marathon strike. We seem to be prepared for a long time," Adam Ferguson said, shaking his head.  Nick Conte is the negotiator of AMPTP. From the very beginning, the principle of AMPTP has been that "there is no need to talk about a strike. Talk about work first." Several well-known producers said in the media, "When the gun is pointed at us,  We cannot negotiate - it would be foolish to do so."  Kevin Feige looked tragic: "When will this end? I have just outlined the three-step plan for the  Many movies have to be rescheduled! "There is nothing we can do about it. We should try our best to arrange the work that cannot be arranged. I estimate that this strike will not last long.  It should be over before the Oscars, and I'm still looking forward to winning the Oscars!" Wan Xiaohu smiled, not that depressed.  The importance of screenwriters is self-evident. It is better to increase the salary of screenwriters than to increase the salaries of stars.  Many times, Wan Xiaohu really doesn't feel that stars are very helpful to a movie.  A classic movie is definitely created by the story, not the stars.  From this point of view, screenwriters should get more money than celebrities.  "It's a pity that stars can attract the audience's attention more than screenwriters, so the only ones who are exploited are screenwriters.  "Tiger. We can't be too optimistic. The last wave of strikes seems to have happened in 1988. The strike lasted for 21 weeks and 6 days (153 days). It almost paralyzed all entertainment production." Adam Ferguson still can't let go. Next year will be  Sasha Entertainment has the best time to develop, with many well-produced movies hitting not only the box office but also awards.  It can even be said that next year will be a watershed for Sasha Entertainment. If the movie fails, the future of this company will be in doubt. If it succeeds, it will be just around the corner to join a major studio.  Wan Xiaohu patted Adam on the shoulder: "Adam, look away. You should be lucky that we haven't developed the TV series business yet, so the impact on movie scripts is relatively small." American TV series are all broadcast one episode a week.  While writing the script, without the screenwriter, it is conceivable that almost all TV series will suffer a fatal blow.  "In this way, we should indeed be lucky. We originally planned to develop the TV drama business next year, but now it seems that it is better to cut it off." "Why cut it off?" Wan Xiaohu waved his hand, "We should also try to develop TV dramas with some relevant companies.  In my opinion, the future entertainment industry, especially the film and television industry, will be inseparable from the Internet. We must have sufficient content to occupy the commanding heights of the Internet. Movies alone are too weak.¡±  "Is there a bright future for Internet entertainment?" Adam asked.  "Of course it's bright. This is definitely an industry with a bright future, and it will also be an industry that affects human life. The Internet has brought people closer and simplified things that were complicated in the past. Ten years  Have you ever thought that if we buy an ice cream, we can order it online? Who would want to wait in front of the TV when we can watch movies and TV at any time???Mobile phones are the terminal of the future!  We must adapt to this direction and use sufficient online content to attract these potential consumer groups!  " "OK, I will convene a meeting with the management to discuss the content of the Internet and TV production.  " "Very good, Adam, keep at it, you will see the day when we beat Universal Pictures!  "
