Chapter 542: Award Ceremony

On March 24, 1986, the 58th Oscars were held at the Los Angeles Music Center, and the annual event attracted a large number of reporters as usual. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Similarly, handsome men and beauties are still dressed up and walking on the red carpet despite the fact that the temperature is still very low. Men are good to say, they are all suits that change from place to place, and women are much worse, tulle evening dresses are difficult to keep warm, not to mention, you can't put things, and it's not convenient to go to the bathroom - walking the red carpet in order to prevent urinary urgency, you have to skip eating or drinking before you start, and men can also put a few pieces of chocolate in their suit pockets, and women can't do anything about it.

In addition, it is necessary to prevent underwear from revealing marks, and to show as much style as possible in front of the camera, which can be said to be very inhumane. If those feminists really want fairness, why don't they ask the Oscars organizing committee to let women wear only gender-neutral clothing, or simply tell female stars that not wearing gender-neutral clothing is discrimination?

"So, do you still want to walk the red carpet?" asked the girl in his arms while sitting lazily on the sofa in front of the TV.

"Why not?" Nicole shrugged as she leaned into his arms, "It's such an opportunity a year to be able to show your charm to the fullest, why not?"

"yes, why not. Li Xu laughed.

Now feminist organizations still have some ideas, and in 30 years, it will be a complete dog, do you think they dare to bark at the funders in the Middle East?

And even the current feminist organization will not touch this, and in 30 years, what qualifications does the dog have to bark.

"Look, the next thing that will appear is John Lonay, the actor of "The Last Emperor", a very wonderful performance......" The host in front of the TV called out at this time, and the camera also cooperated to give Zunlong a close-up shot, of course, and Chen Chong in an evening dress together.

"Hey, John, congratulations, The Last Emperor has won 9 nominations. The host grabbed him and said, looking at the obvious malicious smile, you can know that this guy must be digging a hole.

"Thank you. Zunlong nodded with a smile on his face, "This is indeed an excellent movie, and I am very happy to be involved in the filming of this film." ”

"Do you have any thoughts on not being nominated for Best Actor?" the host immediately asked.

However, Zunlong was not fooled: "I am already very content to be able to play the leading role of an excellent movie, and I believe that there will be opportunities in the future." ”

Not only Zunlong is not fooled, but Chen Chong is also not fooled: "The first time I made a movie in the United States, I was able to play an important role in such a wonderful movie, and I am very content." ”

The host was still a little unwilling: "We all know that you come from that mysterious country across the Pacific Ocean, and this time in addition to "The Last Emperor", there is also a movie called "1942" that was shortlisted for the best foreign language film, which of the two movies do you think is better?"

"These are two types of films, and although they both belong to the biographical category, they have different emphases and different tragedies they want to express, so they are not comparable. Chen Chong replied, and Li Xu outside the TV couldn't help but cheer for her.

It's a pity that although he also wanted to see Wu Junmei's performance, the host didn't think to ask her at all, and was directly ignored. As for the mainland delegation in the back, although there are many people, but the language is not understood, although the host pulled Zhang Yimou to ask a few words, Lao Mouzi looked confused, did not understand at all, patronized "OK" and went, from time to time will add a sentence "It's very good here", "The United States is very good" and the like.

This shows how important it is to learn a foreign language well. The host teased at the camera, and Nicole immediately laughed.

"You also invested in this movie?" she asked, looking up with a grin.

"I'm also the one I supervised. Li Xu shrugged, "Using a movie to open up a country's market is a very cost-effective deal." ”

"Why don't you submit a few more nominations and get your two films to compete at the Oscars?" asked Nicole with a laugh.

Li Xu raised his eyebrows, pressed her on his thigh, and slapped her on the buttocks a few times: "How do you usually take classes?

"I'm just kidding. Nicole touched her ass and said angrily after screaming.

"Don't worry," Li Xu hugged her into his arms again, "The movies you want me to watch are against each other, this year, "Out of Africa" and "Chaos" have my investment, and I also have the name of producer in these two movies." ”

Let's not talk about "Chaos", Kurosawa Akira agreed to direct "The Last Emperor" on the condition that Li Xu invested in this movie, but he didn't expect this old guy to be so enthusiastic about this movie, and thought that he would have to wait until this year to make it, but he didn't expect that he would dare to release it at the end of 85.

As for "Out of Africa", in the entertainment rebirth novel 30 years later, everyone knows that this is a project that can be missed, and Li Xu will certainly not miss it.

"Really?" Nicole's eyes widened, and then she immediately thought of something and covered her ass again, "Okay, I know you're good, but you're really good, right?"

"It's only going to get worse in the future. Li Xu took his raised hand back, and then said in a deliberately pretended triumphant tone.

Nicole stuck out her tongue and immediately leaned in front of him and kissed him lightly on the corner of the mouth.

"Well, which film do you think will win?" she asked, explaining, "Best Director, Best Film, or whatever." ”

"The best film is for 'The Last Emperor', and the best director is 'Out of Africa'. Li Xu immediately replied.

"Why?" said Nicole, looking a little surprised.

"No, I'm just sure. Li Xu smiled.

Of course, he wouldn't tell her that a few days after the award ceremony, the accountants of Pricewaterhouse and Coopers had secretly handed him the list of winners.

You see, this is the class, many things that the people below can't ask for, and the rules that must be followed, are all useless in front of a class like Li Xu in this life.

Of course, if this matter is leaked out, PwC and Coopers will definitely say that they do not know about it, and then find out that it was an accountant who did it, and finally fire and sue or even seek compensation.

And these will naturally be passed on to Li Xu, and procedural justice still has to be done, in other words, as long as you can afford to pay everyone, you can treat the rules as child's play.

Just like he found a lobbying firm, first contacted the White House and Congress, and then put pressure on the film school in the name of the government, no matter how independent the film school is, no matter how much it pursues art, it has to be honest and obedient in the face of the dual pressure of capital and power, not to mention that they are not that kind of organization at all.

So, instead of worrying about whether you are doing this in accordance with the rules, whether you have taken into account the overall situation, whether it will attract public anger, it is better to think about how to climb to the top of the pyramid, and at that time you yourself are the overall situation.
