Chapter 635: Hypocrisy

In order to realize the definition of 'everyone is equal' in the art history of the film in the past century, it is very likely that the presidium of the jury of the "Centennial Filmmaker" will carefully consider this point and become an additional ingredient in the impression of "God's Redemption".

This is not Shu Payne's random speculation, but the 'Centennial Filmmaker' has always had such a convention since the beginning of the first edition.

Donald, who was sitting between Cesare and Jancer, subconsciously looked at Cesare and asked softly:

"You got the news?"

In the center of the stage, Catherine is still narrating in her sexy voice: "Some fans were very unconvinced, believing that the United States should belong to a free and democratic country, and people should be equal and free between people, and there should be no discrimination." At the 21st Filmmaker of the Century Awards, our first black director, Chris Wilson, proved this argument wrong with "The Blacksmith's Son......"

Her words caused tens of thousands of guests to burst into soft laughter, and Cesare laughed very loudly and clapped along with the audience.

When Donald spoke, he didn't turn his head, as if after a long while, he smiled and nodded lightly, and did not deny:

"I've heard some of them mentioned by Dilan. ”

Cesare has been in the industry for many years and has a deep connection, and Donald and he are also old friends who have known him for many years and know him well, but it was not until this time that he felt that Cesare's connections were deeper than he imagined.

The 'Dilan' he mentioned in his mouth, Donald immediately remembered who it was, he could have a friendship with Cesare, and he happened to be able to inform Cesare of such a 'news' in advance, except for Dylan of the Fernand family, Donald couldn't imagine who else could be.

The Fernando family is the actual controlling shareholder of 'Standard Finance', one of the well-known consortia in the United States, its family is extremely influential, famous, and most importantly, one of the families that put forward the slogan of "Centennial Filmmakers" and invested original funds is the Fernando family, and until now, its descendants still have a deep influence on "Centennial Filmmakers".

If Cesare's news came from the mouths of the Fairland family, it is no wonder that he had such confidence in the campaign with Borgia and the Roundabout to send "God's Redemption" to the "Centennial Filmmakers" campaign that day.

even did not hesitate to gamble on his reputation and career, and insisted on making a gambling agreement with the filmmaker, obviously confident that "God's Redemption" could be nominated for the "Centennial Filmmaker" award.

Now that Catherine mentioned the theme of equality in this year's 'Filmmakers of the Century', Donald seemed to understand something.

He was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Jiang Se again.

I don't know how long ago Cesare's news was learned, but the decision to discuss the theme of 'Centennial Filmmakers' is obviously not something that can be negotiated overnight.

When filming "God's Redemption", Jiang Se had the heart to replace Laura, and at that time, Donald saw it in his eyes, and thought that with Cesare's character, even if he appreciated Jiang Se's intelligence and valued her acting skills, he would not easily have the idea of temporarily changing the female lead.

Not to mention that for this matter, he caused a lot of trouble, making his film full of uncertainties because of the change of roles, and he was willing to face the pressure from investors for Jiang Se.

The friendship of adults has never been pure, especially in such a circle, it is inevitable that there will be some things mixed with interests.

Giance was just a newcomer at the time, and even though he was nominated for a French film festival with a film "Demon", it was not worth it for Cesare to gamble on his reputation for friendship.

Donald was somewhat sympathetic to Jiang Se at that time, believing that her final approach would not change any results.

He has been in the industry for many years, and he is used to seeing the hearts of stars who want to get ahead and get good roles, and he has also seen the efforts of many little-known actors to become famous.

In the entertainment industry in Europe and the United States, there are countless hard-working people like Jiang Se, even if she is particularly smart and diligent.

Unless she is a lucky person favored by God and has a chance that belongs to her, she will rise by virtue of the right time, place, and people, but at that moment, Donald did not think that Jiang Se had such a special opportunity.

But in the end, to Donald's surprise, when he was not very optimistic, Cesare acquiesced to her move, and even finally really thought of replacing the heroine, and had a dispute with the investor about it.

Donald didn't know what was going on at the time, but he didn't dispute the outcome.

Donald prefers Jiang Se's personality to working with Laura, she is smart but not pretending to be smart, she always cooperates with him just right, and knows when it is time for her to behave, and she is always so decent.

Therefore, in the selection of the heroine later, because of Jiang Se's different eyes, coupled with his personal relationship with Cesare, he did not hesitate to stand on the same front with Cesare, coupled with the cooperation between domestic Huaying and Borgia and Huandao, persuaded the investor to agree to the temporary replacement.

From the change of roles in "God's Redemption" to the upcoming release of the movie, Donald has always believed that Cesare's original move to replace Laura came from his dislike of Laura's performance on the set, and from the friendship between him and Jancer.

He felt that Jiang Se was a very smart girl, and he seized the opportunity in time under such circumstances.

It was only now that Donald discovered that Jiang Se was able to successfully get the role of Lannie in "God's Redemption", probably not only because of her intelligence and acting skills, not only because of her friendship with Cesare, but also because she was very lucky, because of her Chinese identity.

If Cesare had already heard about the theme that the 'Filmmaker of the Century' was going to be talking about this year, then these points, which many viewers considered her weaknesses, could be a big plus for God's Redemption.

Held every three years, the 'Centennial Filmmakers' are attended by a limited number of awards, and the places of classic films in the Sacred Auditorium are reserved for a few successful people.

Every year, there are always a large number of excellent works that will miss the general, and because of this, there will always be many works that will leave regrets.

"God's Redemption" is not bad, but to fight its way out of the competition with a masterpiece, there will always be some special plus points to escort it.

Donald knew this kind of trick, but he felt that this scene was too real, and the aura of Vanity Fair was so thick that it was distorted, which made him suffocate for a moment.

He glanced at Jiang Se, this girl smiled reservedly, elegant and reserved, even if it was completely different from the blonde and blue-eyed beauty in the impression of Westerners, but she could still see her good cultivation and temperament, she heard her brief conversation with Cesare, but did not rashly ask.

This is what Donald admires most about her, special intellect, and not because of cooperation, it loses its proportion.

Even because she showed her closeness, she didn't deliberately create a topic in front of reporters because of this.

He felt a little sorry for Jiang Se, this is really a very good child.

"This year, according to Catherine, the '100-year-old filmmakers' may talk about 'equality'. ”

He knew that Cesare's way was the most correct and effective, and this approach would benefit the film and several key personnel, and Jiang Se would not lose the slightest, and she would use this movie to improve her status in Europe and the United States, and even her status and fame in China would be improved.

But he still vaguely felt a little unbearable, that feeling, like the friendship he treated carefully, seemed to be covered with such a shadow, and no longer seemed so pure.

Donald has worked with Jiang Se for half a year, and I like her cautious approach to filming.

When he got Shireen's script, even though there weren't many scenes, he remembered what she looked like when she walked back and forth in the snow and made her body form a memory.

Staggering, staggering, but full of determination, it easily reminded him of when he was young and just starting out in the industry.

When he was young, he valued friendship and was hurt by it, which was not pleasant, and Donald was rarely moved by compassion and explained to Jiang Se:

"Maybe you've been busy with movie promotion and other matters lately, and you haven't had time to listen to some interesting rumors. ”

He smiled, and Cesare turned his head for a moment, then a faint smile appeared in his gray-blue eyes.

"From the beginning of its establishment, the 'Centennial Filmmaker' has had an interesting saying, that is, in addition to paying attention to the development of films, it also cares about environmental protection, human rights, women's rights, charity, etc. ”

The triennial 'Centennial Filmmakers' event always has topics that are closely related to these important things, "and the chairman and jury of each 'Centennial Filmmakers' will subconsciously give more preferential treatment to the works that are in line with the theme and are excellent and outstanding among the works promoted that year." ”

Jiang Se was not stupid, and when he heard Donald's words, he already vaguely understood what he meant.

"Take Chris Wilson's "Blacksmith's Son", which Catherine mentioned earlier, which is one of the anti-racist works of the 'Centennial Filmmaker' of the year. ”

"Blacksmith's Son", both directed and starred, is black, although Chris Wilson's work was able to break through the encirclement and become the final winner, and there are reasons why "Blacksmith's Son" itself is quite extraordinary enough to become a classic, but there are rumors in the market that this is because this work just fits the 'anti-racism' factor of the time, and finally becomes an indispensable classic in the Holy Auditorium.

It is also a famous case that is most frequently mentioned when someone privately discusses a topic that is particularly preferred by the film club that fits the theme of '100 years of filmmakers'.

When she heard Donald say this, she couldn't understand the meaning of his words, she remembered that Donald had asked Cesare earlier, and Cesare's answer was very meaningful.

He had heard a friend mention this, and he didn't know when he 'heard', maybe a year ago, when he decided to send "God's Redemption" to the "Centennial Filmmaker" to run for the election, maybe it was even earlier, who knows?

She smiled slightly, and when she learned of this kind of thing, she was more calm, and even when she saw Cesare's smiling eyes, she could smile back seamlessly, as if she were an old friend, but closer than before.

Cesare's smile deepened.

Catherine on the stage has finished the preface to speak, and gave up the position to the well-known Italian soprano male singer, and the natural sound from her hometown made Donald's frowning brow soothe for a moment, and after the beautiful song, she officially entered the award ceremony.

This year's Centennial Filmmakers were the first to be nominated for Best Art Design, and every scene in each of the shortlisted works appeared on the big screen one after another, and finally five works were shortlisted.

Immediately after that, the nomination was for Best Screenplay, and after a wave of surprise and admiration, the winner was overjoyed to take the stage and receive the trophy of great honor and affirmation.

It wasn't until the host of the conference invited special guests to start announcing the award for Best Actress that the mood of the audience suddenly became excited.

This time, the guest of honor was the director Irving Robbins, who had been nominated for Best Picture twice, and after he took the stage, there were thunderous applause from the audience.

He came to the stage and thanked him first, and then spoke:

"With the advancement of film technology, there are now more possibilities for the audience. But no matter how the times and technology change, the performance presented by the leading actor to the audience still needs to be done with heart to create miracles! The following are the nominations for the Best Actress of the 'Centennial Filmmaker'. ”

As soon as his voice fell, the big screen behind Irving Robbins suddenly appeared on the screen of the first shortlisted film.

At this moment, Tao Tao's heart rose to his throat, biting his lip and holding his breath.

Whether or not she can get the triennial nomination for the heroine of the 'Centennial Filmmaker' is obviously very important for every actress.

Even just being nominated for Best Actress in the 'Filmmaker of the Century' is enough to make each shortlisted actress famous all over the world.

The final name and posture of the person who won the award will appear in the classic pavilion of the Holy Auditorium, for every successor to look up to, and become a monument in the career, the authoritative certification of the 'Centennial Filmmaker' is enough to leave a strong color in the life of every girl who wins the award.

Not to mention that after winning the award, the acting skills have been affirmed, the value has risen, and the salary has been rewarded thousands of times, no matter fame or fortune, it is something that everyone can hardly refuse.

In his selfish heart, Xia Chaoqun actually knew that it would be difficult for such an award to fall on Jiang Se, but when Mo Anqi clenched his fists, he asked in a trembling voice:

"Sister Xia, do you think Cersei can be nominated? Should we prepare an extra copy of our speech as an alternative?"

When she spoke, Xia Chaoqun was so heavy in her heart that she couldn't even say a word.
