Chapter 636: Resistance
At this moment, in addition to the TV set in Huaxia, many audiences are also having the same inexplicable longing as Mo Anqi, and in the venue of the 'Hundred Years of Filmmakers', Tao Tao, Yu Zilin and Shu Peien are also waiting for a miracle.
Even if Shu Payne actually knows it, the possibility of "God's Redemption" winning the award is actually very small.
Jiang Se has done his best to play Lannie in "God's Redemption", and his performances and lines are all hard work, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Cesare's "God's Redemption" is not focused on the role of 'Lanny', but on the change of heart and behavior of Andre played by Donald to promote the main scenes.
No matter who plays the role of 'Lannie' in this movie, it can only be used as a foil for 'Andre'.
Cesare's replacement of Laura in "God's Redemption" with Jance is just the icing on the cake, using Jancer's acting skills to make up for Laura's fame and add charm to the film, which is always for the purpose of the film, rather than highlighting the personal characteristics of 'Lanny'.
Shu Peien understands these reasons in his heart, but it is inevitable that because of an opportunity like tonight, he expects Jiang Se to be shortlisted for a nomination.
At the closing ceremony of the 'Centennial Filmmaker', even if Jiang Se did not win the award in the end, this nomination alone would be enough to establish her future status in the world.
He licked his lips, clasped his hands on his laps, and watched the movie that appeared on the screen, and the voice of the award presenter rang out in the sacred auditorium:
"The Hunter ......"
Mo Anqi nervously wrapped one hand around her chest, and the tip of her right finger touched her throat:
"Sister Xia......"
She stared at the screen, her voice a little astringent: "We all know how Cersei performed in "God's Redemption". She looked at the pictures of "Pigman" on the screen full of clips about the heroine, and lowered her head again: "Do you think she has a chance to be shortlisted?"
The group stood in the place specially divided for the staff to stand not far from Jiang Se's position, and as Mo Anqi spoke, Xia Chaoqun's eyes fell on Jiang Se in the distance, she sat beside Donald, staring directly at the big screen, her head slightly tilted to the side, as if she was talking to Donald.
She didn't answer Mo Anqi's question, and the second shortlisted film has already appeared on the screen: "French Style" Anna ......"
She silently counted in her heart, and it was already the second part.
For each place of 'Centennial Filmmakers', there are up to five nominations, two nominations have already appeared, and the remaining three nominations are not many.
Xia Chaoqun actually understood this in her heart, but at this time, she saw Mo Anqi's anxious and uneasy look, and she couldn't say such words.
Maybe there were too many people in the venue at this time, the heating was on, and the air was a little stuffy, which made Xia Chaoqun a little bored, she took a deep breath, and Mo Anqi was still asking:
"Sister Xia......" She was already a little uneasy, because on the screen, the third nominated actress had already been announced: "After the War" Jennifer ......"
Xia Chaoqun didn't open his mouth in the end.
With the announcement of the three nominees for 'Best Actress' one after another, on the small screen above the big screen, the camera focused on the positions of several people, recording the surprised looks of several women after being shortlisted.
Jiang Se looked calm, and also clapped with the audience.
The list of the fourth shortlisted actresses has also been released, and only the last candidate has not been announced, Jiang Se actually knows that he has little hope.
After Donald's brief conversation with Cesare, she had already guessed this.
If Cesare had known that the theme of this year's 'Centennial Filmmakers' was equality, and that his participation in the crew of "God's Redemption" would have added points to the film, it proved that it was not a matter of a day or two that he had been eyeing the 'Centennial Filmmakers'.
He should have had a plan to shoot this movie, and he was also aiming for the highest glory of the movie.
A few years ago, when Jiang Se was nominated for "Best Actress" at the French Film Festival with "Demon", "Demon" won awards frequently and was also shortlisted for many nominations.
has been in the industry for many years, and Jiang Se is also well versed in the rules.
When there are too many other awards, some aspects are naturally subject to some constraints.
If Cesare of "God's Redemption" is here for tonight's most important award for "Filmmaker of the Century", the chances of other awards being her fate are slim to none.
Her performance in the movie has indeed done her best, but just like Shu Payne's guess, Jiang Se understands in her heart that the existence of the character 'Lannie' is actually just a clue to promote the change of Andre's humanity and plot in the play, except for the last tear, there is not much excavation for the character.
Cesare's focus has always been on 'humanity', and the existence of actors is only in the service of the story and plot.
Her character image is not profound, and the theme melody of the movie is not hers, and the chance of being nominated is too small.
These circumstances are understandable, if Jiang Se is not a little disappointed in her heart, it must be fake, but this time is different from when she participated in the French Film Festival a few years ago, when she may have had more hopes, so when she was nominated for 'Best Actress', but finally missed the award, the loss in her heart can be imagined.
This time she accepted it very calmly, when she was looking at the big screen, she felt that there were many eyes around her looking at her, and she was actually quite eye-catching in this 'Hundred Years of Filmmakers'.
She could feel the different ups and downs in these gazes, and she could feel the gaze behind the left, where the direction belonged to Xia Chaoqun, Mo Anqi and other staff.
Jiang Se turned his head sideways and met Xia Chaoqun's gaze, Mo Anqi was already very anxious, from such a distance, Jiang Se could feel the uneasiness and discomfort in her eyes.
Xia Chaoqun should have understood, so she looked calm and hugged her belly with her hands.
Jiang Se turned his head, and Donald, who happened to be sitting next to her, also turned around, and the two eyes collided, and the list of fifth candidates on the big screen also came out, "The Inquisitor......"
The nominations for Best Actress in this round were announced, and Jiang Se was not among them, which naturally means that she has no chance of such an award.
This kind of opportunity, unlike the French Film Festival, she can still apply again, and after getting the ticket to be nominated for the 'Best Actress' twice, she still has time to work hard if she wants to enter that door.
But really good scripts and resources are very scarce, and it is impossible to meet good scripts, good directors and partners like Donald.
If you want to achieve a classic, it is very difficult to get the qualification to enter the 'Centennial Filmmaker', and Chinese actors have walked this road for so many years, and so far there is only one Jiang Se who has stepped on the red carpet of the 'Centennial Filmmaker' with his works.
Perhaps in this life, she is the closest to the 'Centennial Filmmaker' Best Actress Award.
Jiang Se understood this, and Donald also knew it, so when the two looked at each other, Donald felt that he should say something.
"Jiang, I am very sorry that your performance is excellent. ”
"Thank you. ”
She didn't look as sad as Donald imagined, and even seemed to have accepted this result early in the morning, Donald was a little surprised, the emcee on stage had opened the envelope and announced in public who the winner of Best Actress was.
The audience thundered with applause, cheers and music, and Donald whispered:
"Jiang, you are a very good actor. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Donald. She smiled back, quickly put away the messy thoughts in her heart, looked at Donald very sincerely, and said:
"Actually, I know in my heart that although it is a pity not to be nominated for such a nomination, maybe there will be greater awards and honors later?" she smiled, "I have prepared a speech, maybe it will be used at a more appropriate time." She was calm and relaxed, and she opened her mouth with a smile.
Donald immediately raised his eyebrows, and after a while, he pursed the corners of his lips and smiled:
"Cesare is right, you are such a smart girl. ”
When he said this, he sighed a little.
By saying this, she was able to prove that she understood the intention of her two brief conversations with Cesare, and that Cesare eventually used her to shoot "The Redemption of God."
The friendship between her and Cesare was not so sincere and strong, but she was gentle, smiling, and her eyes were slightly melancholy, but she thought very clearly.
Donald didn't know what to say for a moment, Cesare sat next to him, and in the thunderous applause in the room, he couldn't hear the whispered conversation between Jiang Se and Donald, only saw the two of them talking.
In front of Huaxia TV, many people are very disappointed, like Tao Tao at this time, four of the seven awards of "Centennial Filmmaker" have been announced, but among these four awards, "God's Redemption" has not been nominated for a single shortlist.
On the Internet, there are more and more claims about the odds of "God's Redemption".
Tao Tao bets on the British online gambling site that he has accumulated over the years, and many people are rejoicing.
NANA: The O~ 'Centennial Filmmakers' award ceremony has come to an end, and there is even less hope for the remaining three awards, "God's Redemption". Maybe with Donald's acting skills, it is not difficult to be nominated for 'Best Actor', but the chance of winning the award is still not an easy matter when there are many competitors. But if this movie wants to win tonight's important award, it is obviously out of luck. Tonight's bet on God's Redemption may have been God's gift to his godly people.
Alvin: I've already talked to my girlfriend about using the money to buy some items. Oh my God, I really didn't expect such an unexpected gain from the 'Centennial Filmmaker' this time, after all, every time I gamble like this, I always lose some money.
Andrew's Time: Actually, I want to know if the girl who argued and bet on "God's Redemption" is still following this live stream at this moment, and if she is still watching, I will sincerely thank her, after all, not every friend of mine is as generous as she is.
……
Under these messages, almost all of them are gloating.
Every netizen who is not optimistic about "God's Redemption" is discussing the huge amount of money invested in Tao Tao, as if the money is already in their pockets.
In the venue, in a VIP room on the second floor, Carlo Borgia was already frowning.
The closing ceremony of "Centennial Filmmaker" has progressed to the end now, and "God's Redemption" has not even been shortlisted for a single award.
The huge investment in the film, and because of Cesare's support, the filmmakers gave up the initial method of promoting the screening, and now if it is not nominated for a nomination, it may be a big blow to the film's reputation.
"The later nomination should be Best Actor, and with Donald's performance and strength, he may be able to be shortlisted. ”
A middle-aged man sitting next to Carlo saw his solemn expression and comforted softly: "Once Donald can be nominated for Best Actor, it will also be a great help for the movie." He is also one of the senior executives of the investor Huandao Company, and he is also very concerned about whether the film can be nominated for the award: "What's more, after the best actor, it is the best visual effects, and you have also seen the final film of "God's Redemption". ”
He shrugged his shoulders and tried to make his expression look more relaxed:
"Although it is more difficult for the 'Centennial Filmmaker' to be shortlisted for the later awards, the 'gold content' is far more important than the previous awards. ”
If it can be shortlisted for the next few nominations, it will be more helpful for the film to be released in the future.
"What's more, the post-production special effects of "God's Redemption" are very good, I think this time there are many contenders, but the shortlisting should be certain, otherwise Cesare would not be able to make such a bet with you, the friendship between him and Dylan, you should be clear. ”
As soon as this person's voice fell, Carlo's face suddenly looked much better.
In the middle of the stage of the venue, the master of ceremonies had already begun to read the shortlist for Best Actor, and to the surprise of the middle-aged man who spoke before, Donald, who was favored by Borgia and the high-level executives around the island, was not nominated for Best Actor, and "God's Redemption" once again missed the award.
Carlo couldn't sit still a little and unbuttoned two suits.
On a well-known British gambling forum, NANA, who initiated the gambling contract, saw this scene and left a message again: It seems that even God has given up "God's Redemption", and tonight is destined to be our carnival!
Tao Tao's heart is heavy, she is not for the money she invested in gambling on impulse, but because there are only the last two awards left in the nomination of "Centennial Filmmaker", but "God's Redemption" has not been shortlisted for any awards so far.
If tonight's 'Centennial Filmmaker', "God's Redemption", gets nothing, she can imagine how much resistance Jiang Se will face if he wants to develop abroad after the movie is released.
