Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but dance as she spoke, Chen Keer looked at him, she was very surprised, what she said just now was just some Buddhist Zen machines, in fact, she didn't seem to understand it, I didn't expect Gu Xiaofan to be able to comprehend the level of performance from such mysterious words?

This man...... Although it seems to have no artist's temperament at all, the artistic acumen is terrifying. 【】

After figuring this out, Gu Xiaofan excitedly pulled up Chen Ke'er: "Let's go~ Deputy Planner Chen, I invite you to eat." ”

Fifteen minutes later.

In the staff cafeteria of Phoenix Satellite TV, Chen Keer and Ah Ye saw that Gu Xiaofan was holding chopsticks, in an extremely slow and relaxed state, holding the dishes one by one, and then putting them in his mouth, as if in slow motion.

"Chen~ What kind of nerves did he have...... Did you fall for some zombie virus? Ah Ye felt funny and asked Chen Keer with a giggle.

Chen Ke'er shook his head faintly: "He's practicing concentrating on eating......

"Do you still need to practice eating?" Ah Ye's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, and then couldn't help but shake his hand in front of Gu Xiaofan's face.

Gu Xiaofan was interrupted, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "Eat, don't make trouble!" ”

"I heard you're practicing eating?" Ah Ye looked at him curiously.

"It's about practicing to concentrate on eating." Gu Xiaofan emphasized with a holy face, and his heart was full of the pursuit of supreme acting skills.

"Concentrate on eating?" Ah Ye suddenly couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud: "Do you want to become a pig?" ”

"What does this mean?" Gu Xiaofan is sacred, seeing Ah Ye smiling like this, she feels that she is too serious about art!

Ah Ye lay on the table and laughed so much that her stomach hurt, "Have you ever seen a pig eat food?" Chen Keer elegantly put the vegetable salad in her delicate little mouth with a fork, and explained while eating with a very temperament: "When the pig eats, it is like you who has no distractions and concentrates on eating. ”

“……”

A day later, Gu Xiaofan announced on his Weibo that Zhou Yunfa officially joined the crew of "The Undertaker".

As soon as this news was announced, it immediately aroused the conjecture of fans, and almost everyone saw Gu Xiaofan's intentions, and Weibo was boiling again.

"Fa Ge joined, to play the old mortuary Lao Zhou, Gu Xiaofan seems to be aiming for the Oscar this time."

"Fa Ge cooperated with Ang Lee in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and took a lead in Hollywood, Gu Xiaofan also wanted to draw a gourd this time, and he also wanted to take Zhang Ziyi's route to enter the overseas market."

"However, this time it's up to Brother Xiaofan to take the lead by himself, Brother Fa plays a supporting role, I don't know what the effect will be."

"Miracle Fan really challenged Oscar with great fanfare this time, and he really sweated for him."

A day later, when the news was officially confirmed by Zhou Yanfa's spokesman, Sina, Sohu, as well as "Southern Evening News" and "Yangcheng Evening News" all published the news.

"Zhou Yunfa joined "The Undertaker", and Gu Xiaofan wants to hit the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film."

"Can the success of Zhou Runfa in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" be replicated in "The Undertaker"? Gu Xiaofan's first challenge to literary films, can he reach the height of Ang Lee. ”

"Yangcheng Evening News" is not optimistic about Gu Xiaofan's blatant impact on the Oscars, and commented in the article:

For the Oscars, Chinese filmmakers have always had a persistent pursuit, from 1990's "Ju Dou", the following year's "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and 1994 and 1995's "The Wedding Banquet" and "Eating Men and Women", all of which have been nominated for Best Foreign Language Film.

In addition, 1993's "Farewell My Concubine" was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Cinematography, and in 1996, "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma's Bridge" was also nominated for Best Cinematography.

But after so many nominations, it wasn't until 2001 that Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the award.

After that, in 2003, 2005 and 2007, "Hero", "Ambush on All Sides" and "Full of Golden Armor" were only nominated but did not win.

Although both Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige have already conquered Europe, they still can't conquer the picky American filmmakers.

Although Gu Xiaofan is a representative of China's cutting-edge directors, and has the title of 'billion' director, he has never set foot in a film with serious artistic themes.

Think about Feng Xiaogang two years ago, the transformation and want to enter the Oscar work "Night Banquet", this work was born out of Hamlet, the dialogue is completely Westernized, and the artistic level is also very good, but as a result of this kind of hot face sticking to the Oscar's cold ass, Gu Xiaofan is probably very likely to repeat the same mistakes......"

There is no doubt about the commercial value of Gu Xiaofan's films in China, but the director's transformation work has an attempt to favor the Oscar, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

After all, since "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", almost every year, those costume blockbusters have been moving closer to Western audiences, "Ambush on All Sides" and "The City is Full of Golden Armor", "Night Banquet", "Wuji", almost all of them have a foreign flavor that is unfamiliar to Chinese fans.

The attempts of China's great directors to flatter Hollywood and break into the North American market are disgusting.

You lie on the ground and flatter, the key is that you lose face, and you don't get the award in the end, and people still look down on you, which is the most annoying place for Chinese fans.

Now, does Gu Xiaofan also want to be like the previous directors, and become a follow-in of kneeling down to Hollywood to beg for food?

The dignified "billion-dollar director", and China's "torch hero", is it so self-worthy?

Many old fans who came over with Gu Xiaofan posted in "Xiaofan": "Brother Xiaofan, don't be like other directors, kneel down to Hollywood, if you want to make money, make money in China, we support you!" ”

"If you want to know Brother Xiaofan, if you want to flatter Americans, just watch "The Undertaker" is filmed so that we can't understand it."

In these rumors, the media also began to be curious, what Gu Xiaofan's plan was this time, contacting Shanghai Film Group and Gu Xiaofan himself, but they did not get any clear answer, many media could only dispatch reporters from the Hong Kong station, rushed to the Phoenix Satellite TV office building, and waited for Gu Xiaofan's appearance at the door every day.

Every day at the door of Phoenix Satellite TV, in addition to Gu Xiaofan's fans, there is another circle of people guarding outside, which makes the employees of Phoenix Satellite TV smack, this mainland director is simply any wind and grass, which will arouse the huge attention of public opinion.

Gu Xiaofan hasn't been practicing "no distractions" in the past few days, but he keeps hearing people talking about it, pointing fingers at him, and coming to work on Phoenix Satellite TV every day to organize the crew, but also to avoid the harassment of reporters, which makes him feel a little irritable, mother's ...... Can't you stop it?

Gao Yuanyuan also reminded when he saw this scene: "Recently, the outside world has been hyping up you to hit the Oscars, don't admit that Chinese audiences hate people who worship foreigners the most." ”

Gu Xiaofan rolled his eyes when he listened, thinking about it, these reporters would never leave if they didn't take something, so when they got off work, they went downstairs directly to the gate, as soon as he went out, fans and reporters were very excited, and they were crazy crowded.

The reporters held the microphone to his face one by one, and hurriedly asked: 'Director Gu, the outside world has to say that you are filming "The Undertaker" to hit the Oscars, is it true. “

"There are also film critics who accuse you of compromising with Hollywood with Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang in previous years, regardless of the Chinese audience, what do you think of this point of view."

Fans on the periphery shouted angrily: "What are you talking about? Xiao Fan Ge is not such a person! ”

If you change to other directors, you ask Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang a hundred times, they will say: "Of course my film is not made for Americans, I don't care about the Oscars at all, it is a small circle award in the United States... It's not world-class. "Yunyun's shirk.

But when Gu Xiaofan was an audience, he was most annoyed by the directors' attitude of wanting to admit it, he looked at the camera and said directly and calmly: "Yes, I wanted to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film when I filmed "The Undertaker" this time. ”

At this moment, not only the reporters were stunned, but even the fans were stupid, they never thought that Gu Xiaofan would say this...... How dare he say that!? This is simply a big shame in the world.

A young reporter from Hunan Satellite TV suddenly became a little angry, he shouted: "Director Gu, you are an outstanding representative of the Chinese film industry and a business card of Chinese people around the world, how can you bow your head to Hollywood and compromise!?" You've lost your national dignity! Shame on Chinese filmmakers across the country! ”

After hearing this, Gu Xiaofan, the torch hero, turned his head to look at him, showing a hint of surprise, and then turned to laugh again:

"I didn't compromise with anyone, what this movie conveys is China's own excellent culture, where we are culturally higher than Europe and the United States, why should we hide it, why don't we show it, I also want American filmmakers to see what top performances they have, participate in the Oscars and win an award, I don't think I'm begging them for anything, but giving them some opportunities to learn, so that they can see how a good movie should be made, and what the best performance is."

Everyone present was stunned when they heard these arrogant remarks, and all of them opened their mouths wide......
