Chapter 226: Oscar Night (Part I)

The Oscars are a world-class award, and being able to attend such a ceremony can even play a role comparable to winning a domestic heavyweight award.

Mayu Watanabe of Japan, Atsuko Maeda. South Korea's Jessica and Tiffany have contacted Zhang Fan, and coquettishly expressed that they want to accompany Zhang Fan to attend the Oscars.

It's just that these women are just ordinary runners for Zhang Fan. At most, they are partners who can be useful to each other, and they are far from being able to appear here together.

As for Lin Yueqing's sisters, they unexpectedly did not make a request, which also made Zhang Fan secretly relieved.

It is nothing that he attended the Oscars with Li Ruhui, after all, Li Ruhui is his agent, which can be explained by the needs of work. But if it were another woman, it would be a grand scandal for herself. However, Zhang Fan doesn't need a scandal to hype up now.

As for Scarlett, she herself is an Oscar presenter and does not need to appear as Zhang Fan's female companion.

Li Ruhui is very clear about this, but she is still happy that she can become Zhang Fan's female companion. Looking sideways at the high-spirited Zhang Fan on the side, Li Ruhui's heart swelled with an inexplicable emotion. Men are always very attractive to women when they are successful.

"That's it." Zhang Fan's voice woke Li Ruhui up. When I came back to my senses, I realized that the car had arrived at the red carpet outside the Koda Theater. The next thing is to get out of the car and go to the red carpet that women who aspire to be in China and even the whole of Asia want to walk up at any cost.

Zhang Fan opened the car door, and the dense flashing lights around him lit up wildly, as if a dense chain of lightning swept by, reflecting the nearby brightness!

The fans gathered nearby shouted loudly, and the strong sound even brought echoes.

After Zhang Fan got out of the car, he stood sideways, and very gentlemanly stretched out his hand to help Li Ruhui get out of the car. Li Ruhui, who was wearing an evening dress and high heels, was even inconvenient to get out of the car at this time.

The flashing lights around him flickered more intensively, and now Zhang Fan was not a nobody. His work was nominated for a full twelve at tonight's Oscars. When such an important person appears with a female companion, it is natural to pay enough attention.

William Russell is a veteran reporter for ABC TV, which is the broadcaster of the Oscars, and he and his colleagues came to the press section early and won a very good position.

The fans who shouted frantically nearby made the atmosphere hotter and hotter, and as one star after another appeared on the red carpet, reporters from all walks of life in the press section gradually became excited.

The high level of attention at the Oscars means that a large number of viewers will watch the coverage. Being able to participate in activities at this level is definitely something that any entertainment journalist can only dream of.

"Hey, William." Bill, a colleague with a camera on the side, shouted out to his colleague, and then signaled with his chin to the direction of the red carpet, "Look, it's another one who is here to rub the red carpet." ”

No one knows when it started, and many actresses who don't have an invitation but want to be in the limelight at such a high-profile ceremony will use various methods, such as male stars, sponsors, or agencies or even media to appear on the red carpet.

Those whose works are shortlisted for awards, or the female stars who are actively invited by the organizer are walking slowly on the red carpet that is not too long. Then these women, who were not shortlisted for the works at all, and were not invited by the organizers, walked slower than turtles on the red carpet!

It's a pity that these women who don't know what price they have paid to be able to walk on the red carpet no matter how beautiful or how good their bodies are, or even how revealing they are. None of the reporters would waste a film on them. The broadcasters will never waste footage on them.

The attitude of any journalist towards these women is to ignore them.

It's not that they look down on these women, but these old fritters in the press know very well that these women don't have the slightest news value at all. On a spectacle like the Oscars, no reporter would waste even a second of their time on these women.

In the entertainment industry, it is very important that you must have thick skin. Thin-skinned people simply can't stand in this line of work. And these women who are grinding on the red carpet are definitely thicker than the red carpet under their feet!

The women on the red carpet will soon be quietly sent away by the security guards in black suits. The fans around may take a second look, but the eyes of those reporters will always stay on the real stars.

As time passed, male stars in dark suits walked across the red carpet. Men generally walk at a normal pace, not too fast or abrasive.

And the fashionable and beautiful female stars are much slower when they walk on the red carpet. Even to reporters, he constantly poses in various ways, wanting to spread his image to the world through the platform of the Oscars!

In order to ensure that it can get enough and important material, ABC TV has sent many teams to interview it. William and his colleague Bill were just one of them. Getting the big news in such a competitive atmosphere requires a high sense of smell and luck.

William Russell had good luck and was very news-sensitive. When he saw Zhang Fan walking towards the reporter area, he was the first to rush up.

"Director Zhang, congratulations on your work being nominated for twelve Oscars." ABC TV won the rights, but they weren't the only journalists here. Journalists from various newspapers and magazines also flocked to the city. Without the slightest hesitation, William Russell asked his own question: "Are you confident tonight?" ”

There were a large number of fans gathered on both sides of the red carpet, and Zhang Fan waved to the fans, but there was not much response to him. After all, he didn't appear as an actor, and naturally there was no way to compare with those glamorous movie stars in the hearts of fans.

Fortunately, those reporters are all veterans, and they know that Zhang Fan's news value is much higher than that of ordinary stars, but they have already surrounded him in a moment's time.

After hearing William Russell's question, Zhang Fan smiled and nodded, "I think we should be able to take away a few little golden figures tonight." ”

"Do you think you can take away the Best Director award at a record age?" This is a topic that all journalists are concerned about. After all, Zhang Fan is too young. If you release some confident words that don't get you the most out of the end, then there will be a report tomorrow. As long as they can increase sales, these reporters will not care about the feelings of the people involved.

Faced with this kind of problem with pitfalls, Zhang Fan responded formulaically: "I am very young, so there are too many opportunities in the future." I think I'll get it someday. ”

Zhang Fan clearly knows that his age, skin color and even nationality are invisibly excluded by Oscar. Although he has used the off-field factors to the extreme, he will definitely not give any positive response at this time.

"Is this beautiful lady your girlfriend?" When William Russell was about to continue asking questions, a New York Times reporter on the side had already preemptively asked questions.

Zhang Fan glanced at Li Ruhui, who was holding his arm, and responded with a smile, "This is my agent." ”

Zhang Fan knew that if he nodded, it would definitely make Li Ruhui very happy. Even this evening there is not the slightest difficulty in direct further development. But at least at this time, Zhang Fan has not given up the intention of the entire forest. Or rather, he never meant it that way.

"What do you think about the media's prediction that rejuvenation will be the big winner tonight?" Questions from the journalists followed.

"We'll know the results in a few hours." Zhang Fan's expression remained unchanged in response.

"Slumdog Millionaire didn't make it to any of the acting awards this time, what is the reason for this?" A female journalist asked her own question.

"The jury must have had their own considerations." After Zhang Fan responded formulaically to one question after another, the corner of his eyes swept to the end of the red carpet, and a black limousine stopped. Then he nodded to the reporters who were still unsatisfied, and ended the interview.

Zhang Fan didn't stay outside too much, and took Li Ruhui beside him and walked directly to the Keda Theater. Later, under the guidance of the staff, he walked through the lobby and corridors, and entered the main hall through the VIP passage.

"This is Oscar?" Although she is not an industry related person, Li Ruhui is obviously very excited, and her mood is a little high when she keeps looking around.

"Well, this is Oscar." Zhang Fan responded, glanced at the hall where many people had been seated, and quickly determined the location of his crew, and then walked over.

Zhang Fan is sure of other awards, and even the most important Best Picture is full of confidence. But only the best director has a lot of suspense.

As a foreigner, or a yellow-skinned foreigner, Zhang Fan knows very well that if he appears as an actor in the mainstream world of Hollywood, he will never have a chance to win the actor. Because in Hollywood, and even in the white world as a whole, it's an instinctive rejection of everyone.

They were able to award best actor even to blacks, and definitely not to yellows. This is a psychological suggestion that has lasted for hundreds of years since the Age of Discovery.

No way, the hundreds of years of ignorant rule of the Qing Dynasty have deeply imprinted the image of the sick man of East Asia in the hearts of white people.

The glory of China in the classical era has long been submerged in the long river of history, submerged under the hooves and scimitars of foreign races.

Zhang Fan, who knew that he could not stand out as an actor in Hollywood, focused on the director. This is a position that is more important than that of the actors, and the rejection of all parties is far less intense.

At this moment, Zhang Fan has done everything he can. The next thing is to wait until the results are available.
