Chapter 713: Answer
Stephen Kokin has become a stinky street guy in China since he released Chinese pigeons at the Olympic Games, and the people of the whole country have hated him after the domestic media.
Now the Chinese people have begun a spontaneous boycott of his film and television works, and during the Chinese New Year, one of his blockbusters was also released simultaneously around the world, and it did not perform well at the global box office.
The reason why the box office is not good is because of the unsatisfactory box office in China.
Now that Huaxia has become the world's largest film market, once Huaxia boycotts your film, then it is almost doomed to box office failure.
Guo Dalu's "Resident Evil" has attracted five or six billion dollars in China alone, and more than 100 million US dollars in Europe and the United States, which is already a very remarkable box office.
Stephen Kokin's big movie only grossed $200 million at the global box office, and he invested more than $200 million in making movies.
This is the first time he has tasted box office failure, and before that, almost none of the movies he shot lost money, and many of them were box office and word-of-mouth double harvests.
This time, because he offended the Chinese people, the movie lost money for the first time, which made his investors very annoyed, and the Chinese people gloated, and they all felt a bad breath.
But the Chinese people hate him, but many people in Europe and the United States and other countries like him, this time seeing him as the host of the party, many people at the scene cheered and applauded.
Just looking at the reaction of the audience, you can know that this person is still very popular.
Guo Dalu looked at him very unpleasantly, and said to Wang Xiaolu beside him: "In the past, the Oscar hosts were either comedy stars or professional actors, how did you let the director play this time?
Wang Xiaolu said with a smile: "Who knows how they arranged it, let's just look at it." ”
Stephen Kokin's hosting ability is not weak, when he spoke, the audience laughed, but because of the cultural differences between the East and the West, many Westerners thought it was funny, Guo Dalu and Wang Xiaolu didn't think there was any coke, in the scene where everyone was laughing from ear to ear, only the couple looked at each other and looked confused.
In fact, there were many foreigners who didn't understand it, but in order to show that they understood, they also applauded desperately with others.
The Oscars are held for filmmakers from all over the world, so this awards party brings together almost all the world's outstanding film and television personnel, these people come from all over the world, because of the different cultural regions, the laughter is naturally different, although they all learned English suddenly, but for the English context, it is difficult to understand for a while.
Therefore, none of these people heard what Stephen Curkin said funny, but since many people in Europe and the United States laughed like this, it really seemed very funny, so they applauded and smiled, as if they really understood, but they were confused.
After a bit of teasing and laughter, Stephen Curgin finally started talking about some of the films and television works that were nominated on the spot.
"Huaxia is a beautiful ancient country with a long history, and it is one of the five permanent members of the Security Council today, but such a country has never been nominated for an Oscar, what is the reason for this?"
Stephen Curgin stood on the stage and expressed his surprise with exaggerated movements, "This is incredible! They are a big country with a population of 1.4 billion!"
The audience burst into laughter, followed by applause.
Guo Dalu said to Wang Xiaolu: "This guy has bad intentions and deliberately mocks us, these foreigners on the scene are not good things, they even think it's funny." ”
Wang Xiaolu saw that Guo Dalu was a little angry, and reached out to press Guo Dalu's palm, "Brother Dalu, don't be like him, we are here to receive the award today, not to be angry." ”
At this time, Stephen Cogin, who was on stage, said with a smile: "But recently there was a pig killer in China, and then this pig killer got tired of killing pigs and started making movies, and then suddenly became a world-renowned director." ”
There was another burst of laughter in the audience, and many people looked at Guo Dalu and his wife sitting in front, and the photographer at the venue also pointed the camera lens at Guo Dalu.
Stephen Kirkin said this, turned around and looked at Guo Dalu, "This director started shooting action movies, which is more in line with his background. But one day, he suddenly got tired of action movies, and he wanted to shoot a romantic literary film. ”
"Oh my God!"
He said loudly with a look of surprise: "A pig killer actually wants to make a literary movie? This is simply terrible!"
Everyone at the scene saw that his expression was exaggerated, and his language was so exaggerated, many people couldn't help laughing, but some people felt that what Stephen said was a bit too much, and the taste of ridicule was too strong.
"What's even more terrifying is that he actually succeeded in filming! It is also a love story between a commoner and a princess!"
Stephen Kokin spread his hands and looked incredulous, "Oh God, this is incomprehensible! Do all the employees of slaughterhouses all over the world have a dream of falling in love with a princess? Oh, this is terrible!"
There was another burst of laughter at the scene, but many people already felt that something was wrong, and the usual host joked a few words when talking about the actors of a certain crew, and quickly talked about the next person, and there was never a ridicule specifically aimed at a certain person.
It is estimated that Stephen Kerkin also felt that what he said was too obvious, so he hurriedly changed the topic and threw the question to Guo Dalu, "Director Guo Dalu from Huaxia, what did you think when you first filmed "Roman Holiday"? Is this your dream all along?"
He asked Guo Dalu on stage, but he just asked casually to divert the audience's attention, and he didn't need Guo Dalu to answer at all, because Guo Dalu didn't even have a microphone by his side.
If it is an ordinary actor who is faced with this kind of problem, especially when the camera is aimed at him, at most he will smile helplessly, and he will not give a clear answer.
But Guo Dalu is not an ordinary person, after listening to Stephen Kokin's inquiry, he replied directly: "My dream of love at that time was actually the same as your father's dream when he pursued your mother, I wanted to be with the person I liked, form a family, and then give birth to a son, and then cultivate my son's interest, and encourage him to become a world-famous director in the future......"
Although there was no microphone around him, after he said it word by word, everyone in the hall of thousands of people could hear it clearly.
After listening to his answer, everyone at the scene couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Guo Dalu saw that the audience was laughing so badly, and it was a little incomprehensible, "Damn, is what I said so funny?"
