Chapter 713: Asian Plays White

Gu Xiaofan nodded as a matter of course, and everyone looked at him with laughter, thinking that this news could be regarded as an anecdote, and this was even more sensational than the previous declaration. 【Reading.com】

"Then Director Gu, have you already chosen your own role in your next work? What type are you going to play, the main character? ”

N's reporter's words obviously have a bit of a provocative flavor.

Gu Xiaofan knew that the other party was provoking him, but he didn't care, but smiled:

"No, do you think that in this day and age, American audiences will accept an Oriental face as the lead role? Don't we in Asia think we Asians should be thugs, comics, or techies? ”

As soon as he said this, many reporters were a little embarrassed.

Gu Xiaofan turned to smile and said: "This time, of course, I want to play a supporting role, but I am not an Oriental, I want to play a white man." He emphasized, "Pure white characters." ”

What the!?

Chinese play white!?

The people who interviewed Gu Xiaofan all let out a burst of exclamations, and everyone was stunned by this unbelievable statement.

...... this "villain" himself plays a white role? This guy is simply insane.

"In China's most famous film and television drama "The Legend of the New White Lady", women can play men, and I don't think there is anything wrong with me playing white people." Gu Xiaofan said with a smile.

The "wow" reporters were excited for a while, and then exchanged their heads and ears, recording this passage, they liked this high-profile Chinese too much, and even said that it was not a problem for them to play the "white role", but also the Oscar Performance Award, which is too interesting~!

"Director Gu, if you agree, how about I use this as the title of the report?" Simpson, a reporter from "Hollywood Letterman", also took a deep breath and was surprised by Gu Xiaofan's audacity.

"Of course, freedom of the press is yours." Gu Xiaofan got up and shook hands with him, and after this simple interview, surrounded by flashes and lenses, the whole day of the Oscars ended.

To Gu Xiaofan's great surprise, at this celebration banquet, Edward did not mention anything about the acquisition of Warner from beginning to end, but only mentioned that the "X-Men" series was choosing actors and intended to recruit them.

The two sides agreed on next week, and while discussing the details, Liu Shishi said excitedly: "Lily has already told me that as long as we gain a foothold in Warner, they will definitely support us." ”

Gu Xiaofan didn't express an opinion on this, he always felt that things were not so simple, but one thing was for sure, as long as they could get status at Warner, then Fox would definitely try his best to win them over.

For the weakest, it is not a bad thing for them to be among these two huge forces.

The day after the Oscars ended, major newspapers and media across the country printed Gu Xiaofan's photo on the cover.

"The 81st Oscars are over, and the three films "Slumdog Millionaire", "The Undertaker" and "Rejuvenation" will share the award equally!" ―The Los Angeles Times.

"Chinese director Gu Xiaofan's work "The Undertaker" broke the record and became the first mainland film to win the Academy Award" - "People's Daily".

"Gu Xiaofan claimed that he would win the Chinese Award for Best Performance next year, while he himself chose to go into battle in person." - The Guardian.

"Chinese director and actor Gu Xiaofan claimed to play a white role, and said that Chinese actors can dress up as men and have no problem acting across skin tones." -- The New York Times.

Dadada! Stacks of printed newspapers were put on the shelves, and the entertainment pages of the big newspapers, the entertainment gossip newspapers, etc., had different covers, but almost all of them were people in black suits and beautiful evening dresses.

They raised the trophy with an excited smile on their faces, and one of the black-haired young men occupied almost the pages of a few ordinary newspapers, far more eye-catching than the British director Danny Boyle, who won two awards for best director and best picture.

Of course, this is not only because he won 3 awards, but more importantly, his age of 22 years old, and the incredible publicity of "playing white" to win the Oscar.

This remark not only caused people to laugh, but also made many fans angry, they felt that Gu Xiaofan insulted them, and no Asian person in the world has ever played the role of a white person.

This notorious "villain" is simply challenging the bottom line of the American people!

Almost all film critics are very unhappy with this "villain" who speaks wildly, and almost collectively bombarded his remarks.

"To be honest, I definitely support "The Undertaker" to win the best foreign language film, in terms of oriental charm, Zhou Yunfa did show something extraordinary, and Gu Xiaofan's directing ability is also remarkable, but he said that if he wants to play a white man to win an acting award, it is ridiculous.

Gu Xiaofan himself is still far from the top actors, not to mention, Asians who have successfully played mainstream film and television works in North America are only action actors such as Chen Long and Sammo Hung, and Asian actors want to play the charm of white actors, which is simply ridiculous! ”

CBS film critic Howard Grooming commented on the show.

On various entertainment websites, Gu Xiaofan's remarks were scolded, mainly Brad Pitt in "Rejuvenation", a fan of David Fincher, and Wilt, a netizen whose avatar is a young white man, commented:

"The Undertaker" only won the award with the support of the previous Chinese, and the Oscar judges were under pressure from public opinion, but this is only in the unpopular awards, if it is the best picture, director, or acting award, the judges will definitely not be affected.

The villain obviously overestimated the abilities of the Chinese actors, and even more so himself. ”

Movie fan Mark Hess commented: "All of them won three awards, why is all the coverage on the 'villain'? Why didn't Brad Pitt even mention it in "Rejuvenation"? ”

Johansen wrote: "'Scoundrels' are nothing big about it, the Oscar judges are just afraid that they will be saddled with a racist name!" That's why he chose him, the Chinese guy! Go to hell! ”

The mainstream public in the United States simply hates Gu Xiaofan, and in Yahoo's vote, "What do you think of "The Undertaker" winning 3 Oscars? ”

81% of people chose "Ridiculous, unbelievable, "The Undertaker" and "Villain" don't deserve this honor at all!" ”

Only 17% of people chosen: "Deservedly, "The Undertaker" is a legendary movie. ”

And choose: "Gu Xiaofan is right, "The Undertaker" should still be worthy of an acting award. "It's only 2 percent.

But no matter what the public opinion is, Gu Xiaofan has become the most concerned and topical person after the results of this Oscar are announced, and fans all over the world know this "villain".

And Gu Xiaofan will also start his own performance path under everyone's scrutiny.

Everyone is curious, what will be the white character that this 'villain' is talking about? And what was his first work in English?
