Chapter 600: Support in the Circle

When Gu Xiaofan said these words to reporters and fans, Chen Keer, Ah Ye, and Gao Yuanyuan, who were not far away at the door of the Phoenix Satellite TV building, all looked at all this curiously. [Full text reading]

Ah Ye couldn't help but stick out his tongue: "This Director Gu is really a weirdo, dare to say this." ”

Gao Yuanyuan looked over there with a smile, and said with some joy: "I just like this kind of Director Gu, how imposing, that kind of look like no one in his eyes, handsome." ”

When Gao Yuanyuan said this, she had a vague desire in her heart, she hoped that people in the world would not stand on Gu Xiaofan's side, and only she would fight side by side with him.

But at this time, Chen Ke'er, who had always been arrogant, thought of what Gu Xiaofan said to him before, but said faintly: "You don't understand...... He's not in the middle of nobody, but he's really confident. ”

Gao Yuanyuan couldn't help but look at her strangely: "You know again?" Do you know him well? "I don't know why, this Chen Keer is very annoying.

Chen Ke'er also felt a little strange when she heard it, why did she express such a feeling, and turned around and left without answering.

The next morning, major domestic newspapers published relevant news, and fans across the country were shocked by the news.

"Gu Xiaofan's Oscar declaration, the best foreign language film has been captured."

"I never thought there was anything great about American movies, and filming "The Undertaker" was a chance for them to learn."

"Let them see how a good movie should be made and what a good performance looks like, right?"

You must know that Gu Xiaofan has not predicted the box office in China once or twice, although it feels unbelievable every time, but as a result, he has fulfilled his prediction again and again.

In this regard, miracles can be said to have a tradition of predicting miracles, even if he says how many hundreds of millions of box office unpopular movies like "The Undertaker" reaches, everyone dare not question it, after all, he has questioned so many times before, and the person who is not questioning himself will have a slap in the face.

Gu Xiaofan is now a dignified "billion director", in terms of box office data, if anyone doubts his confidence, it will become an abnormal thing.

But no one thought that this time director Gu Da's prediction was not a box office with market rules, but the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film......

This is voted by Americans, who can vote for their own film before the movie comes out? Even Hollywood's most arrogant "God" James Cameron would not dare to say that.

Moreover, Chinese films have been nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film a lot of times, but only once has actually won the award, which can be said to be a very low chance.

And the only time this was directed by Ang Lee, who studied in the United States............

Many people think that Chinese films are naturally unsuitable in the United States.

In the Internet era, rumors spread the fastest, and Gu Xiaofan's unbelievable wild words startled everyone.

Many media outlets who were so angry with Gu Xiaofan before finally seized the opportunity to start sneering at Gu Xiaofan's arrogance after seeing this report.

"Southern Metropolis Daily" published a commentary article saying:

"Maybe Gu Xiaofan is the most box office appeal director in the mainland, but whether he can make a high-level art film, it is unknown, maybe he regards himself as Ang Lee, after collecting Zhou Yanfa, he began to look forward to recreating the glory of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but he forgot that before and after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the countless failures in the Olympic Games...... Mainland directors and actors have not won an Oscar once, we want to know, where does Gu Xiaofan's confidence come from? ”

Online film critics also commented: "This is the most outrageous of all Gu Xiaofan's predictions, although the Oscar declaration he shouted early was promoted, but it was too unrealistic and provoked the audience's emotions without a bottom line, this kind of propaganda method is disgusting."

However, Gu Xiaofan's fans don't see it that way, after Gu Xiaofan realizes his language again and again, everyone has no higher expectations for the box office, and this time the Oscar announcement once again made everyone very excited.

This is their idol, when he was just a rookie director, he dared to compete against Hollywood blockbusters in the summer file, challenge China Film Huayi in the Chinese New Year, and change the film ecology of the entire mainland, now, Gu Xiaofan is already the first "billion director" of the Chinese people, is there any problem with him being confident that he will win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film?

It's no wonder that there is no such confidence, fans are frantically waving their fists, immersed in Gu Xiaofan's rhetoric.

And Gu Xiaofan's argument that Chinese actors and directors are not inferior to Hollywood actors, although fans have two diametrically opposed attitudes, but they have also been supported by almost all mainland actors and directors.

The famous actress Zhou Xun was asked what she thought of Gu Xiaofan's words during a live interview at a cosmetics press conference, and the top Chinese actress said very directly:

"I don't think there is any gap between Chinese and other countries' actors, maybe we can't act in romantic movies like "Titanic" and "Forrest Gump", but for example, if I start filming historical themes like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty", will there be any foreign actors capable of playing those complex characters?"

There are also Liang Jiahui and Jiang Wen all expressed their support for Gu Xiaofan's words, and Jiang Wen even said directly:

"American actors should watch Renyi's drama "Teahouse", I have watched movies and television, dramas, and stage plays all over the world, and I always feel that in terms of performance, no one can surpass Teacher So."

To everyone's surprise, Gu Xiaofan also received the support of many Oscar-winning directors in the circle, and Wu Yusen, who also edited the next episode of "Red Cliff" in Beijing, also accepted an interview with a TV station, in which he talked about some of the content of the next episode of "Red Cliff", and also talked about Gu Xiaofan's remarks about "teaching American actors to act".

The Hong Kong director, who once filmed the top Hollywood blockbuster "Mission Impossible 2", laughed on the spot:

"Director Gu Xiaofan is really a person who dares to think and speak, in fact, I thought so for a long time, but I didn't have the courage to say it, when I filmed "Mission Impossible 2", I didn't think that the actors in it acted better than in "The True Color of Heroes", to put it bluntly, this is just a cultural issue, if our actors change their skin color and speak English well, I'm afraid half of our list of actors shortlisted for each Oscar will be Chinese."

And when the same question was asked to Feng Xiaogang, Feng Xiaogang answered better, and he commented in a hoarse voice:

"I'm not sure who you say has better acting skills between Chinese actors and American actors, but I know that if the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards are opened for American actors to be shortlisted, I don't think they have much hope of winning the award."

The controversy caused by Gu Xiaofan swept almost the entire Chinese literary and artistic circles.

Whether it's attending a premiere, a ribbon cutting in a shopping mall, or an advertising campaign, reporters will ask all the actors and stars the same questions.

The result is surprisingly unanimous, although everyone is not sure whether this "billion director" can win the Oscar as he wishes, but on the principle of "who is good at acting skills of Chinese and foreign actors", without exception they all support Gu Xiaofan's views.

It seems that in the face of the long-standing Hollywood superiority theory, Chinese actors and directors are holding back a sulk, and finally vented it out of Gu Xiaofan's mouth
