Chapter 606: Contentment
"I'm looking forward to the Oscars and hopefully I'll be happy with the results. ”
Cooper smiled slightly, "You won't be disappointed. "If the Oscars were going to give Leila the trophy for Best Director, he would eat the teacup in his stomach! Even if the sun rises in the sky, the old antique judges of the Oscars will not have a brain pumping to let such a young man take off the trophy of glory in their hearts. So he really didn't have any psychological pressure to say such a guarantee.
The Oscars came shortly after the Golden Globes passed. People haven't taken their eyes off the controversy at the Golden Globes, and they have already begun to look forward to the star that the Oscars will bring them.
Compared with Leila's great gains, the crew of "Hero" is much bleaker. They came with great ambitions, and as a result, the award for best foreign language film was still won by Spain's "Say It to Her".
It is precisely because of this gap that they see Leila's strength and her potential. A girl who is not yet 24 years old has made such a film, will anyone doubt her future achievements in the film industry?
"Do you want to ask her to go back to China to help make a movie?" Even if you can learn from your side, you don't need money!
But they are not easy to say this, they just wait for the return of China and then coordinate with all parties, and it is best to invite her to come over from above. It's really not okay, it's always okay to give a lecture at those film academies, right? The advanced film concepts of the West are indeed worth learning from them.
Take "Chicago", which won the best picture this time, don't look at it as a musical and dance drama, don't look at it with a deep connotation, Leila can make it so that everyone who sees it likes it.
You say you can't understand those metaphors? It doesn't matter, there are enough songs and dances and beautiful women and handsome guys for you. You say you like the plot? That's even better, this movie is definitely worth thinking about for a long time. Even if you are a person in the fashion industry, you can get a lot of inspiration after watching a movie, who said that the famous designer Janet Moran designed the clothing design herself?
It can be said that anyone can find their own interest in this movie, and its high box office can prove this. Don't compare Moulin Rouge to it, the two are not on the same starting line at all.
The problem is that many people like to compare the two together. They are all song and dance films, and they have all received a good reputation, and the important thing is that they are only separated by a year, and it is no wonder that everyone likes to discuss them together.
Another reason why journalists love "Moulin Rouge" is that its director, Baz Ruhrmann, who has been identified by journalists as a big mouth. The first few times he was forced to be in a hurry, he blurted out some words, which made reporters and the media hype.
At that time, he left a message, claiming that he would let the award judge who was the one who won.
When the Golden Globe nominations came out this time, the first thing people saw was the seven nominations for "Chicago", which happened to be one more than "Moulin Rouge".
When the reporter chased Ruhrman for an interview, he only gave the camera a sneer: What's the use of nominating more, just show off when you get that award.
He definitely has the strength to say that, because "Moulin Rouge" won Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Score in the Musical and Comedy category at the Golden Globes. It can be said that it won a very important award. To surpass such an achievement is not so easy for a young director to do. So he was very confident to say such things.
But after the Golden Globe Award winners came out, his confidence was gone. "Chicago" not only won the same Best Picture and Best Actress as him, but even Best Actor also won it. It can be said that it has gone up to the next level in terms of heavyweight awards than "Moulin Rouge".
This made Ruhrman very depressed.
Can you still let people pretend to be X? As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped hard, can he still live this life?
Fortunately, he still has a chance, the Oscars are not a place for young people to play, and he believes that with Leila's age, her "Chicago" may not get any good results. Just look at him, the heavyweight award he won at the Golden Globe Awards was in vain when he was exchanged for the Oscars. Two of the eight nominations were taken, and the art direction and costume design were not very heavy.
Even he was in trouble, and he didn't think that Layla could be any better with her "Chicago".
However, he didn't say this in front of reporters, so as not to be too ugly to be slapped in the face if he made a mistake, so he only said a few words as if venting his anger among friends.
However, a friend's friend is also a friend, and it wasn't long before his words reached Lyra's ears.
She didn't care much about that. There's no need to care what a defeated general says, does it?
It's a week after the end of the Golden Globes, and when Leila meets Roy, he's still holding his Ballon d'Or trophy, giggling as she watches, and she doesn't know what he's giggling at.
"Isn't it pretty?" Leila couldn't help but curl up at his joy.
"Of course, I think it's the cutest thing. Well, except for you. Roy added, holding the trophy with a fluttering eyebrow, and posing as if a lot of people were taking pictures of him.
Leila chuckled, "That's enough, there's an Oscar statuette waiting for you." ”
"For me now, it's very satisfying to win a trophy like this. But for me in the future, Xiaojincai is my favorite. Roy kissed the trophy: "Isn't there a saying in the East, 'contentment and happiness'? I think I'm very happy and satisfied right now." ”
He said the four words of contentment and happiness in Chinese, and the tone was still a little strange, but it was much better than before, which shows that his Chinese has indeed put a lot of effort into it.
"You have a point. Leila found herself speechless. She wanted to ask, what about your ambition, what about your constant drive, your desire to make a lot of money, to send your brother to the best school?
Well, he's actually made a lot of money now. But Roy, who laughed like a fool like this, she was quite surprised to watch.
"That's right, Leila. Roy suddenly put down the trophy: "I remember something, I don't know whether to tell you or not." ”
"What's wrong?" said Lylachi.
"It's Charlize. When I went to work, I accidentally saw her shed tears in the break room. She said she wasn't crying, she just had sand in her eyes. I'm also a Golden Globe actor anyway, and she thought that her clumsy acting skills could fool me. Roy didn't forget to take a moment at this time.
