Chapter 253: The Oscars!
"I really don't see it, you still like to eat. Chu Shun said.
After visiting the Huaxia Theater, under the guidance of Rhea, I came to a restaurant called "Timothy Western Restaurant", which was opened by Timothy West, not by Timothy.
The signature lamb chops taste good, fried and grilled properly, I don't know what method is used to taste it, Chu Shun will not get to the bottom of it, tourists just care about it, Rhea also specially asked the boss to open a bottle of good wine, Chu Shun didn't drink much, and was drunk by Brother Blow, who rubbed rice.
"I don't have high requirements for food, mainly thinking that director Chu Shun and his master might come to Hollywood, so I asked my friends about a few restaurants where I can entertain. "The master in Rhea's mouth, except for Zhou Wuji, there is no one else.
Chu Shun nodded, very well prepared, including the cafΓ© where afternoon tea is currently drunk, and the dessert is also good, with black tea.
"Director Chu Shun, I have an idea to establish a Los Angeles branch of Tongjiquan in Hollywood, do you think the master will agree. Rhea spoke very jumpy, jumping from eating to martial arts.
"I've been practicing arm boxing for three years, and my body is getting better and better. Rhea puffed out his biceps as he spoke.
He said: "I think Tongjiquan is the strongest martial art in China, and as a disciple of Tongjiquan, I have the obligation to carry forward this excellent fighting skill." β
"I still have a plan. Immediately after Rhea's quick recounting of the preparations for the establishment of the chapter, first of all, he could shoot a film with a fist, an action movie that is good in the Hollywood market, and he will be the starring actor.
After becoming famous, it is difficult to invite several boxing champions to cheer, and it is difficult to find boxing champions to fight, but it is relatively simple to invite boxing champions to commercial programs, just give money.
With a bit of operation, you can stir up the fist.
β......β
Chu Shun felt that Rhea "did not forget his original intention", and thought that after becoming more and more famous, the degree of chatter would be much lighter, but Rhea was the same as always, the only difference between this product and the little cheap was that the tone was not so cheap.
Why did you come to Los Angeles? Chu Shun refused to let Rhea come to lead the way? Handsome guys are all cold, such as Chu Shun himself? He felt that Rhea had lost their handsome cards.
Rhea's heart for Tongjiquan? Zhou Wuji actually gained a huge benefit, because Rhea often mentioned it in interviews? Zhou Wuji is well known to the public, and was also evaluated by "Black Belt" as one of the "Twenty Modern Martial Arts Masters".
"Do you have a trip in two weeks?" Chu Shun suddenly asked? interrupted the gushing mouth.
"I've been in a hurry lately? Two weeks later, there seems to be an endorsement campaign, I asked. Rhea got up and went to the corner to dial the phone of the agent Matt, and after some inquiry, returned to his seat.
"Can you postpone your trip two weeks later? If the director has something. Rhea said.
Brother Chui didn't open his mouth the whole time.
"How much does it take to fly to Huaxia for more than a day? Forget about the two days of leisure. Chu Shun waved his hand and just forget it.
When he returned to his alma mater before coming to Los Angeles, it wasn't that Chu Shun wanted to go back to see it, Chu Shun didn't miss his alma mater because he had no conscience.
I received a call from Principal Hu and went to the school to talk about things, and I also met in case I could that day.
Is it the establishment of the "Chu Shun Director Encouragement Award"? After discussion, Beiying finally decided to turn the award into a national student award.
Because there are already several awards for their students on the Beiying campus? The details were discussed, and the first edition was held in two weeks.
Chu Shun thought about it? Feel free to invite familiar friends to participate in the past, friends at home and abroad.
"If you go to Huaxia - wait for me? Director. "Rhea ran into the corner again? Coming back in about seven or eight minutes? With a smile on his face, he didn't know what to say to his agent.
"Huaxia happens to have a product endorsement activity, and I communicate with the company there, so I should be able to go to the training in advance, and there will be no problem in two weeks. Rhea explained.
He takes the "big boat" and is the most popular in the world, but there are companies with a small amount of money to ask Rhea to be the spokesperson, and the United States and China are the majority.
Rhea is right, but he is not stupid, he thinks that Director Chu Shun's character is generally conditional to solve it by himself, and he likes to solve it by himself if he is not qualified to create conditions, so he opened his mouth to ask, and he must need his help.
Therefore, even if it is a little troublesome, let the agent Mart have to negotiate the time with the merchant, not only to help the director, but also to go to Huaxia to see the master.
The more he thought about Rhea, the more he felt that he had a good plan, and he said: "I want to go to see the master for the Chinese New Year this year, but the master said that he was not at home, and this time it was no problem." β
When Chu Shun heard this, he didn't know how to answer, it seemed that the talker really regarded Zhou Wuji as a teacher, but the latter didn't mean this, to be precise, Zhou Wuji had never treated Ruiya as an apprentice.
"How can the things of the ancestors be handed over to the Gentiles, I don't have this apprentice, I just taught two hands casually while filming. β
The Matrix held two celebration banquets, one in New York where almost the whole group was present, and the other in the magic capital where only Chinese cast and crew were present, and then someone mentioned it during the banquet.
"Master Zhou now has a big star apprentice, amazing!"
And Zhou Wuji's answer was the above words, Chu Shun looked at Rhea who was still muttering "There are some boxing skills to ask the master for advice", Chu Shun patted Rhea, but after all, it was still wrong.
"Speaking of which, just going to the Oscars, I can invite a few more directors. Chu Shun thought to himself.
The more celebrities participate in the first edition of the "Chu Shun Director Encouragement Award" two weeks later, the higher the starting point of the award.
The reason why Hollywood's Chinese theater can be an instant hit is because the founder is Chaplin and other big names in the silent film era.
"President Hu, their thoughts are still a little limited, what is the meaning of the student awards of domestic film schools, if it can become an award that students of film schools all over the world aspire to, it will be a head. Chu Shun decided to plot secretly, and then surprised everyone after launching it.
There are only two days left before the Oscar night, there was light rain on the night of the two days, and it was sunny again during the day, and it seems that the weather is very much looking forward to this Oscar, and Chu Shun's actions in the Oscars.
Valentina came the day after Chu Shun arrived in Los Angeles, and there was no difference from before, as soon as she arrived in Los Angeles, she asked Chu Shun to go to the Paul Getty Museum.
The Getty Museum is the world's largest private museum, originally owned by oil magnate Getty.
It is worth mentioning that Getty is very ruthless, leaving only $500 for his descendants, and yes, 500 is not 5 million.
The remaining 2.2 billion assets are set aside for this private museum as a development fund, and the museum is permanently open to visitors for free, as long as you wear shoes to visit - even if you don't wear clothes.
"The last time we saw a museum together was five years ago. "Valentina looked at "Iris", and her eyes could not hide her love for the painting, and the ochre and blue occupied almost all the canvases, and the vitality was strong.
For Van Gogh, Chu Shun actually doesn't see any artistry, maybe he doesn't appreciate the artistic bacteria of the painting, but Chu Shun personally likes the painting "Iris", when he created it, he was obviously imprisoned in a mental hospital, his body and spirit were exhausted, and Van Gogh died in the following year, but the painting does not show a little decadence and decline.
Van Gogh's contemporaries commented: "He deliberately created a new kind of painting for a long time, which is very simple, understandable, almost child-like." can impress ordinary people who do not have a subtle and subtle artistic sense", this evaluation is not a compliment.
"Chu, artists are not able to be recognized by the world until they die. "Valentina is suddenly a little sad, people with delicate feelings are easy to be sad, Valentina is really a person who will cry for no reason, for no reason.
It's not good to be too easy to touch the scene.
She said: "Van Gogh's paintings before his death were only appreciated by Gauguin, and later they conflicted with Gauguin's ideas, and no one understood him. β
Not necessarily, Zheng Banqiao, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong and other artists were sought after for their creations during their lifetimes, and Western DalΓ and Picasso were also very famous during their lifetimes. β
Chu Shun, the atmosphere destroyer, said: "Whether it is understood after death has a certain relationship with the artist's own family conditions, you have money and channels, and you will be recognized faster." β
β...... Oh. Valentina nodded and continued to look at the museum's paintings.
Chu Shun thought of a British drama called "Doctor Who", and in the tenth episode of the fifth season, the doctor came to Paris in the 19th century and met Van Gogh, and Van Gogh said that his paintings were not liked by anyone.
So the doctor took Van Gogh to the modern MusΓ©e d'Orsay, where there were "The Chapel of Arles" and "Sunflowers", and Van Gogh saw his paintings hanging in their entirety in the palatial museum, like wooden stakes.
When the curator said: "For me, Van Gogh is the greatest painter in history......", Van Gogh hugged the curator with tears in his eyes and kept thanking him, but the curator looked confused.
"I really want to know how Van Gogh would have felt when he knew that his paintings would be so popular in later generations. Chu Shun said in his heart, but unfortunately no one knew the answer.
Accompanied Vawa to visit the Getty Museum, and casually invited Cavatina to the capital in two weeks, Vawa agreed directly, and did not call the agent to report.
Fast forward to Oscar night, which starts at 5 p.m., and the Dolby Theater is also crowded.
Although the United States has four major art awards: the Tony Award, the Grammy Award, the Emmy Award, and the Oscar Award, the Grammys and Oscars are the ones that attract the attention of the whole world, and as for the other two, even American netizens do not pay attention to them.
On the other hand, the Tony Award is not an award for barbers, but an American opera and drama award, which is similar to the domestic Golden Lion Award for drama.
The front of the Dolby Theater looks like "M", with a 50,000-square-foot red carpet in front of it, and the organizing committee has sold the red carpet second-hand after only one use in order to set off the Oscars.
There are no two identical reds on the red carpet due to different processes, just as the color of Burgundy red wine is not exactly the same, and so on each star leaves a unique red carpet photo.
It may sound reasonable, but it's actually nonsense, sugar-coated cannonballs of capitalism.
But don't celebrities just want to be in the limelight?
On both sides, there are reporters lined up like soldiers in the barracks, cameras with long guns and short guns, aerial drone aerial photography, stepping on the red carpet, there is a feeling of being watched by the whole world.
At the end of the red carpet is an upward staircase, and two steps forward into the theater lobby, with its high ceilings, symmetrical column carvings, and glittering lamps, all of which add to the vanity.
"Seriously, the Oscar red carpet is really the most gorgeous of all film awards, including film festivals. "The vehicle Chu Shun was riding in was arranged by Rhea.
Originally, Chu Shun's travel, as long as Brother Blowing was there, it was all arranged by Brother Blowing, Rhea belonged to robbing business, and the latter was still a little unhappy.
Chu Shun's female companion is Valentina, and as soon as she got out of the car, she felt the warm atmosphere of the scene-
"It's Rhea, Rhea I love you. β
Jack smiled at me. β
"Bastantin is so cool, he looks so cool in a suit. β
"Jennifer, Jennifer. β
"The actress is definitely Valentina. β
"Valentina can compare to Silver's performance in "Heart of the City"? In the end, isn't Valentina the bitch who falls in love with director Chu Shun? β
"That scene on deck is not acting? Did your brother kick your brain as a ball at night? β
The cheers seemed to set the red carpet on fire, and the entire Dolby Theater was enveloped, but even that couldn't stop the excitement of the fans around him.
With the arrival of stars one by one, there were waves of noise, among which Rhea's cheers were the largest, and there was no one.
"It's really possible. Chu Shun has always speculated foreigners with the greatest malice, and he never thought that he would be directly scuffled at the scene because of the verbal star dispute.
"Director Chu Shun is okay, right?" Seeing that Chu Shun was not moving, the staff in the suit immediately came over to ask.
"Oh, it's fine. Chu Shun continued to move forward.
The security guards who maintained order immediately stopped the two, although the two were fighting outside the court, in case it affected the field, then this Oscar would be famous.
Don't think it's impossible, the Oscars really have examples of fans flipping into the red carpet.
After walking the red carpet, Chu Shun looked around and didn't see Huaxia Media, maybe he walked too fast and skipped it, so he didn't stop and walked into the theater.
"You weren't interviewed either?" Chu Shun looked at Rhea, who was trotting from behind.
Rhea shook her head: "The media asks and asks those questions, which are boring." β
In fact, he didn't tell the truth, he had a scandal before, and then reporters would keep asking whenever he appeared in public.
Valentina was specially cared for by reporters, so she couldn't get off the red carpet for a while, you must know that there are four hosts on the red carpet.
Chu Shun and Rhea walked side by side, many male stars and directors also came in, and the actresses were fighting in the field, so don't mix blindly.
Walking forward, you will pass by a similar bar, which is actually a Dolby surround sound introduction point, after all, the title gives money, and the sound of the theater is upgraded.
"Are you here tonight's Oscar dinner?" Rhea asked, "There are a lot of people who want to get to know you." β
Chu Shun asked, "For example?"
"Mr. Sin Gogol and Mr. Peter Waite, especially Mr. Gogol, have repeatedly asked me to be introduced. β
Gogol, according to the memories of the original, was a famous Hollywood actor who should be in his fifties by now and very hardworking.
Three times a year, he has acted in many classic movies, and he has acted in a lot of bad movies, but Gogol is very popular in China, because the wonderful movies he starred in have been released in China, and none of the bad movies have been released.
starred in the second male lead of "Spokesperson", and was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor, which is a great threat to Su Ge.
And Peter Waite, who was also introduced in the previous newspaper, is the most vocal person for Best Director at this year's Oscars.
"Yes, indeed. Chu Shun nodded: "There is a chance for you to introduce." β
The two walked inside, 3,400 seats, divided into three layers of overall red "U" shape, whether it is lighting or stage, it is the world's top theater.
Moreover, Dolby installed more than 200 speakers, and Chu Shun arranged the position to sit in the first row, and the scene was still empty at this time, with only staff coming and going for the final inspection.
Chu Shun was used to being the first to arrive, so he closed his eyes and took a nap, while Rhea was like a mole stretching his neck and looking left and right, worried that his neck would hurt if he kept this movement.
More than twenty minutes later, Rhea saw an acquaintance, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked over.
A few minutes later, Rhea brought someone over: "Director, this is Gogol. β
It stands to reason that Gogol can be Chu Shun's uncle at his age, but his respectful posture is not a little inconsistent, as a director, he is naturally a step older than an actor, and Chu Shun is too famous.
"Director Chu Shun, after listening to Rhea talk about your way of training actors, I really want to cooperate with you. "Gogol acted in a lot of bad movies, unlike Nicolas Cage, the latter was in debt and lacked money, and the former was mainly to hone his acting skills.
Gogol believes that no matter what script, no matter what style, you can exercise your acting skills, and it is a miracle to be able to elevate Rhea and Valentina's acting skills to be nominated for an Oscar.
One thing to say, if it weren't for the fact that the big ship had such a high reputation, it would have been difficult for Vava and Rhea to get nominated.
Chu Shun has also shot a lot of movies, and the shooting methods of so many classic movies have been integrated, and his directing ability is indeed much stronger, of course, it doesn't matter that Chu Shun is a very stinky and shameless person.
"I think acting is the best possible service for movies. Gogol said: "Director Chu Shun's shooting style coincides with the theory I have been implementing. β
He chatted with Gogol, Rhea said a few words from time to time, the theater gradually filled up, and Gogol didn't leave until the award ceremony began, Chu Shun sent an invitation, and Gogol naturally had no reason to refuse.
Smack!
The lights hit the stage, and the host appeared, wearing a white suit and dyed green hair, which was a bit similar to white radish at a glance, and it was Mick from the "Ikemick Don't Lie" program, from red pepper to white radish, and there was progress.
The Oscars, since 18 years later, have loved to use stand-up comedians as hosts, at least not coldly.
"Let me host the event today, I said I can't, I'm just a talk show host, and I don't have my brother by my side yet, I'm scared. β
The audience chuckled, Chu Shun said that he was a little confused, in the talk show "Aike Mick Don't Lie", Mick's wish is to kick his brother out of the talk show, so this is a stalk, Chu Shun, who didn't pay attention to the American talk show, certainly didn't understand.
is like the earth movie "Deadpool", the viewing experience is not good, and at least one-third of the plot of the movie does not get laughs.
"In addition to not having a brother, I'm also scared of the guests here today, there are big stars who almost squeezed Uncle Sam out of his position, and Ms. Valentina, who can't be hired for 100 million dollars. β
Mick bowed in the direction of Valentina and thanked him: "Thank you really for coming, I don't think the academy can come up with a hundred million." β
Oscar's convention, before the start of the host and the guests to joke, lively atmosphere, Mick's words have a source, the former White House spokesman shared a letter from Idaho on the Internet, written by a 14-year-old girl, she proposed to replace Uncle Sam, one of the cultural symbols of the United States, with Tom Rhea, Uncle Sam is too ugly to represent the American people, and the American people's representative should be Rhea.
I know that the United States has no history, so he forcibly summed up five cultural symbols for himself, Uncle Sam, the Statue of Liberty, American Gothic, Bison Nickel, and Barbie.
And Valentina, who can't be invited by 100 million, can be called fake news, and the irresponsible revelation on Twitter is that "Valentina refuses Hanes's underwear endorsement, hundreds of millions of endorsement fees".
Immediately afterwards, Mick used other news to arrange the stars present, and also talked about Chu Shun.
I only heard Mick say: "What scares me the most is the director who is sitting quietly in the seat, I am really scared, I say it badly, I will be kicked down by him, and then he will preside." β
The on-site camera was aimed at Chu Shun, and it was obvious that this was a joke that one person was equivalent to half of the crew, and he would do everything.
"Don't worry, Oscar didn't give me the hosting fee. Chu Shun spread his hands.
"It was wonderful. Mick breathed a sigh of relief, his expression exaggerated.
The warm-up lasted for more than 20 minutes, and the award ceremony officially began, in fact, if it wasn't for the talk show actor to warm up, the singer would also be invited to do the opening show.
The order of awards, which changes a little every year, has not changed much.
The first two awards were Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction, both of which were nominated for Titanic.
But it's a pity that the best photography was won by the photographer of "Spokesperson", and Chu Shun has never seen the spokesperson, but the best photography on the Titanic on Earth is because of the technical content of underwater photography, and underwater photography in 97 is completely worthy of a little golden man.
"As expected, to be nominated for the Oscar, this wave will not be a loss under the guidance of Director Chu. Jiang Jin didn't think that he would be able to win the award in one wave.
As for the best art direction, it was won by Chu Shun, and the crew cheered, and there was a good opening.
Chu Shun appeared on the stage of the Oscars for the first time, the stage was a little hard, and the lights were a little dazzling, but Chu Shun was not nervous at all.
Holding a small golden figure in his hand, the weight is not as heavy as the Golden Lion Award, Chu Shun said in his acceptance speech to the audience: "Thank you to the jury, thank you to the crew members." β
Short speech, Chu Shun is going to be a repeater tonight, all of them use this set of words, he wants to know how many times he can repeat it, as for Cameron yelling "I am the king of the world", wait for the best director to howl, if you don't get it, don't say it.
