Chapter 1295: Less than one percent
Chen Shufen is very glad that she consciously rejected the renewal of some endorsements after receiving the script of "Silence", she knows that his value will rise to a high point after the movie, and she wants to pave a more glamorous road for him.
The title of Golden Globe Best Actor is a testament to how wise she is, and Lyra's phone call makes her even more proud of herself. However, even though she was so excited that she wanted to say yes immediately, reason still made her stop herself.
"Thank you very much for this news, Director Moran. I want to know what Guorong thinks, can you give me some time?"
"Of course. Leila felt that the other party's request was not too much, and that she would have done the same if it were her. That's her male god, no matter how much she is held in the palm of her hand to take care of, let alone such an important thing as endorsement!
"I'm waiting for your good news, and I hope you don't have to keep me waiting too long. ”
"Definitely!"
Chen Shufen put down the phone and drove to Zhang Guorong's side.
This is indeed a good thing, an opportunity to go out into the world. These days, she has received a lot of inquiries from Hollywood, wanting to know Zhang Guorong's future schedule. She has also received a lot of scripts from Hollywood, although there are not many protagonists, but they are basically very important roles.
In the past, receiving a script like this would make her happy for a long time, but now there are a lot of scripts that she rejected, and God knows what kind of mood she wants to vomit blood to get rid of those scripts.
When he arrived at Zhang Guorong's house, he was doing the most things he usually does, holding a book and sitting under the window, enjoying the sunshine and the fragrance of tea at the same time.
As soon as Chen Shufen came, she told him exactly what Leila and she said.
Zhang Guorong didn't care too much about these: "It's good if you decide, we have been working together for so many years, and I believe in your decision." ”
Chen Shufen's nose was sour at what he said, and looking at him was like watching his own child grow up. They have known each other for so many years, and their relationship is definitely not comparable to ordinary artists and managers. She stopped talking about endorsements, but walked behind him and looked at the trophies in the cabinet. Among them, the most eye-catching, and also placed in the middle, is the Golden Globe trophy that she put in by herself.
"Tired of the past two days, haven't you?" she looked at the trophy and the name engraved on it, as if she couldn't get enough of it. "I'll help you put off some interviews and events, and now you can concentrate on waiting for the Oscars!"
She left a gap next to the Golden Globe trophy, fantasizing that if she could put the Oscar statuette in it herself, her life would be complete.
"Hmm. Zhang Guorong glanced at her and responded lightly. It wasn't that he didn't notice her little movements, but he didn't say anything. Even he himself hopes that there will be an extra Oscar trophy there, not to mention the manager who has always supported him?
"Guorong, how many Oscars do you think?" Chen Shufen knew that he shouldn't put too much pressure on him, but he couldn't control his mouth, so he still asked.
Zhang Guorong gave a success rate that she couldn't believe: "Less than one percent." ”
"Impossible, right? You're a Golden Globe winner!"
"The professionalism of the Golden Globes and the Oscars is not the same. "He doesn't feel that his acting skills can't afford that trophy, but the performance of other people, especially Roy's performance, has the potential to beat him. Being on the list of nominees has made him very content. He didn't want to let himself think too much, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Chen Shufen didn't want to hear his words so unambitious: "The outside media say that your role is played perfectly. I also think that your acting skills are the best this time, and there are a lot of points added to the film directed by Moran, so your chances will definitely be very high!"
Zhang Guorong smiled lightly and shook his head: "Do you really think that I won the Golden Globe Award by my own strength?"
"Of course, why would it be awarded to you?"
"Have you ever wondered why Leila didn't get Best Director, and Silence didn't get Best Picture?
Chen Shufen was suffocated by the question: "That's also because the opponent is too strong." She couldn't believe what she said. Of course she has seen the movie, and naturally knows how classic this film is that has attracted a lot of discussion around the world. But it's unimaginable that such a film didn't win the Best Director and Best Picture awards.
Zhang Guorong took a sip of the teacup and said, "No, it's because I'm sharing the cake." I don't know if the rumors that the Golden Globes don't like Leila are true, but I think it's a bit true. As long as you give me the actor's trophy, if you don't give her the remaining two trophies, it won't cause too much opposition. The most important thing is that it will not cause much backlash from Leila herself. ”
In the end, there is a media group behind her, and people who believe in the Golden Globe Awards don't want the relationship with her to be too stiff.
In terms of acting skills and performance in the movie, he feels that he and Roy should be on par. But because of his Oriental status, the Golden Globe Award was given to him, in order to take away the other two trophies from Leila.
The small tricks played by the United States may seem very hidden to them, but in the eyes of the Orientals, they can understand it with a little thought.
If the same thing happened in Asia, he believed that Chen Shufen would also come to the truth after thinking about it.
Maybe she thought about it a long time ago, but she just didn't want to admit it. It will take a long time for the Easterners to stand fairly on the land of the West. They are willing to compete fairly, but they don't have a fair stage willing to give out. It's not just Orientals who are treated unfairly, it's the whole chain of contempt that doesn't just disappear when Asian actors, Asian actors, black actors, female actors, and actors outside the United States disappear.
If it weren't for Leila's film and an excellent film like "Silence", Zhang Guorong would not have been able to get that trophy no matter how good his acting skills were.
There is no way, this is the reality.
The only thing that makes me happy is that everything is still evolving in a good direction. When Leila first came into this world, the discrimination was even more serious to the point that people had already turned a blind eye. Even she herself was delayed for many years because of this discrimination before she finally squeezed into the Oscars.
In the end, Zhang Guorong still signed the endorsement contract of Janet men's wear. And for the Oscars this time, Janet also rushed out a dress for the ceremony.
Usually for such an event, the costumes will be prepared months in advance. Don't think it's going to be easy to prepare, maybe it's not difficult for a super designer like Leila to have an exclusive Jennet, but it's hard for more female stars.
