Chapter 706: Invisible Ceiling
Gu Xiaofan held the heavy trophy in his hand, his eyes swept over these stars in suits and evening dresses, and surprisingly there was no joy or gratitude on his face, he just frowned slightly and put the trophy on the stage. [Full text reading]
Looking at the people in the audience, their eyes were blank, and the silence was surprisingly silent, which made the atmosphere a little strange.
But suddenly, Gu Xiaofan's eyes were full of essence, and the whole person became amazing.
"To be honest, I should have been very excited to come on stage, I should have thanked a lot of friends and family, but I'm very unhappy now."
With this sentence, the scene was in an uproar~!
What's the situation...... People are happy to win the award, crying and thanking this and that, you won a grand prize, are you still not happy?
Even the big guys in the crew of "The Undertaker" were dumbfounded by Gu Xiaofan's remarks.
Chen Ke'er, who was sitting on the stage at the moment, was staring at Gu Xiaofan with her eyes tightly, secretly surprised in her heart.
You must know that on such a major occasion as the Oscars, no matter who it is, it will be nervous and excited when you go up for the first time, but Gu Xiaofan, who walked on the stage, was full of calmness, calm as water, and had a leisurely bearing, which was already very rare.
And now, he is even more straight, his eyes shoot an unfathomable essence, his ordinary face has become extremely cold, and his whole body exudes a powerful temperament.
Chen Ke'er felt at this moment that Gu Xiaofan had become a person she didn't know at all, no longer the grinning kid before, but a great man who stood tall before any storm.
And Liu Shishi and Gao Yuanyuan also have this wonderful feeling in their hearts.
I saw Gu Xiaofan with an indifferent look on his face, looking at the people in the audience:
"Dear film colleagues, although I have felt pressure from all sides since I came to the United States, I believe in your fairness and selflessness, and I believe that each of you will not judge the achievements of a film impartiality based on the color of your skin......
As he spoke, Gu Xiaofan looked around at everyone in the audience with extremely deep eyes, including the chairman of the Oscars, Sid. Ganney.
"Many of you are judges, and you have probably watched "The Undertaker", right? I want to ask you, why are you surprised every time you get three golden figures in "The Undertaker"? But isn't that a matter of course?
Isn't your surprise ...... Wow, a Chinese film actually won the Oscar? How is this possible? ”
Gu Xiaofan coldly asked these Hollywood filmmakers in the audience: "There are so many Indian filmmakers in "Slumdog Millionaire", why are they so surprised that they have won so many awards?"
What is it surprising that we won the Oscar?
If you don't understand the movie, or haven't seen the work, that's understandable, but if you've seen all the participating films, can't you see that it's because our movies are good that they won the award? I want to ask you, you ...... What are you surprised about? ”
Gu Xiaofan's words "It is natural for "The Undertaker" to win the Oscar sounded arrogant to fans, but the Hollywood filmmakers present looked at each other word by word, and there was a feeling that they could not refute.
And Gu Xiaofan's wild words are not over, and his next words are even more breathless:
"Since you have all seen Zhou Runfa's performance, I think, may I ask which of your actors who have been shortlisted for the Oscar for supporting actor this time has a better performance than Zhou Runfa?"
At this moment, including Brad Pitt and David Fincher, almost all the Oscar judges on the scene couldn't help but be stunned, and their first reaction was that no one could compare with Zhou Yunfa.
No one at the scene could respond to Gu Xiaofan's questioning.
"Can you tell me, apart from skin color, why Zhou Yunfa was not shortlisted for the performance award?" Gu Xiaofan's tone was still cold, but with a hint of questioning:
"Imagine playing Old Zhou instead of Dustin Hoffman or Tom Hanks...... The same performance, just with their faces, do you dare to keep Dustin Hoffman and Tom Hanks out of the shortlist? ”
When he said this, Gu Xiaofan's inexplicable emotions were boiling, the god of Chinese acting skills was at the peak of his own movies, but he was not even shortlisted for an acting award, which made him feel extremely guilty.
To put it bluntly, it is because they Chinese have no status in Hollywood, so others dare to despise them so much.........
The people on the scene, you look at me, I look at you, no one can answer, everyone is still silent, this question makes many people fall into deep thought.
Although everyone here boasts that they are fair in judgment and do not have any discrimination against actors from all over the world, they are asking themselves at the moment, are they actually having prejudices in their hearts and not knowing it?
"Since acting is an art of emotion, will human emotions be estranged by skin color, nationality, and politics?" Gu Xiaofan continued to ask lightly:
"French-speaking actors can win Oscars, Chinese-speaking actors can't be nominated, is this the difference in acting, emotional art, language? Or has there already been a judgment in the heart? Or is it so-called political correctness? ”
In the face of Gu Xiaofan's questions, the audience was still silent, because what Gu Xiaofan said was indeed an established fact, and the white fans in front of the TV were already in a commotion, and many people were scolding "damn Chinese guys" and "nonsense!" "What theory!?" "Rigid Chinese know how to express feelings!"
Everyone in the crew of "The Undertaker" in the audience also looked at each other, and they all felt that Gu Xiaofan was simply crazy, was he challenging the order of the entire Hollywood?
Who would admit to being racist in the United States, especially these high-profile stars and filmmakers?
They all consider themselves the most just and noble people.
Gu Xiaofan looked at everyone in the audience with an anxious face, looking at each other, some people were angry, some people were thinking, and he knew that his words had achieved their goal, he didn't want to criticize anyone, but to make them realize.
It is said that Chinese people have a ceiling above their heads on Wall Street, but why not actors in Hollywood?
He believes that most of the 6,000 film elites who can serve as Oscar judges are fair and noble, and people with artistic achievements will not be so dirty in their hearts, otherwise "The Undertaker" will not win three trophies.
As long as they can see the barriers faced by Chinese actors and recognize it, then they will have a chance to destroy it......
