The Chinese celebrities who have seen this movie in the United States have sighed, and the famous real estate developer Pan Shiyi commented: "I don't understand, why the same director will only shoot kitsch themes like "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" in the mainland, and when he goes to Hong Kong and the United States, he becomes an art master, Gu Xiaofan's artistic cells are simply growing explosively abroad, but those frameworks in our country limit him, I can't help but ask, is this something wrong with our national system?" ”

And in another real estate tycoon, Ren Ziqiang, who has a city of cannons, said directly:

"Now China can't bloom the flower of high-pressure art, Gu Xiaofan used Japanese novels, plus Hong Kong actors, and American productions, which gave birth to the best Chinese movies in the past ten years, "The Undertaker" is definitely the best domestic movie I have ever seen, very connotative, and humanistic, I dare to say that if Gu Xiaofan does not return to China, then he will definitely be able to surpass Ang Lee's achievements. [Reading Network]"

In this situation of rave reviews for watching big V in the United States, there are countless fans complaining and wailing on various forums and websites:

"What's going on~~ "The Undertaker" is not yet released in China~!"

"Yes, I've been waiting for it to death, and now it's still "Don't Disturb" and "Let the Bullets Fly" in the movie theater, I'm annoyed to watch! I want to watch "The Undertaker"~"

"I hate Jiang Wen now, Shangying postponed the release of "The Undertaker" just to protect "Let the Bullets Fly", this is simply picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon!"

The domestic public opinion about "The Undertaker" was suddenly pushed to a peak in the face of good news, and the movies on the same period were all compared with "The Undertaker", and reporters asked Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen: "Director Gu went to the United States to release the film this time, and did not participate in the New Year, do you feel much less pressure?" ”

Jiang Wen was depressed all day, and scolded Gu Xiaofan on the phone: "Xiaofan~!" I wanted to know that you let me schedule, I was scolded like this, and I can't let you postpone the release even if I kill me! ”

And Gu Xiaofan was also on Weibo at this time, reposting the video of his previous announcement that he was going to the United States to teach the United States to make movies, and then added a "smiley" symbol below, which was regarded as a reply to his original promise, and this message immediately triggered more than 120,000 comments, and has been forwarded more than 10,000 times.

This time, not only the fans of the "Billion Director" cheered excitedly on the Internet, but even those film critics who were not optimistic about him before were convinced by Gu Xiaofan, those who looked down on Chinese films very much, did not believe in their own vision, and only admired Americans, "The Undertaker" triggered a series of crazes in the United States, making them finally feel that they are awesome filmmakers!

At this time, Gu Xiaofan also registered a Twitter account and called on fans on his Weibo: "Hey, friends, I registered on Twitter, if you like me, I hope you will also leave a message on Twitter to support me." ”

As soon as the "billion director" spoke, Chinese fans immediately flocked to the Chinese version of Twitter, and after downloading the app, they all replied with the same word under Gu Xiaofan's first tweet: "gu~!go・to・oscar~!"

Now, fans all over China are waiting for Gu Xiaofan to realize that his original promise was the first time in the mainland to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film~!!

At this time, the lobbying work of the Oscar judges for this year's popular films has been completed, and the shortlist for the first theory has come out, just waiting to be announced on this day.

Tens of millions of Chinese viewers have been waiting for the day when the nominations will be announced, and for the first time in history, CCTV has broadcast the Oscar nominations live, with simultaneous translation.

At 7 o'clock in the morning on January 23rd, Gu Xiaofan, Liu Shishi, Chen Keer, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhou Runfa, Gao Xiaosong, Zhang Shuping, photographer India Mei, deputy director Xu, and the main members of Black Feather Studio, military fans Liu and Dong Ge, set up a table on the grass of the Ramada Hotel in Universal Studios Hollywood, drank wine, ate breakfast, and waited for the announcement ceremony of the nomination to begin.

The morning sun rises from the horizon, shining on the entire meadow covered with a thin layer of frost, and everyone's wine glasses reflect the slightest hint of sunlight, which is particularly dazzling.

While eating breakfast, there was also a projector and a white screen on the side, projecting the live video of CBS TV on it, and this morning was the big day for the Oscar nominations to be announced.

"How about it, Gu Xiaoshu, do you think we can be nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film?" Liu Shishi took a glass of red wine and said, looking at Gu Xiaofan and asking.

Gu Xiaofan was eating fish-flavored shredded pork bibimbap with relish, he was too busy during his time in the United States, eating hamburger steak every day, and he was about to vomit every day, so it was easy to have a good meal when he was free, and he felt very comfortable.

Listening to Liu Shishi's question, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Of course, the nomination is definitely no problem, and I think other technical awards are also promising." ”

"Hey...... Xiaofan, you are really optimistic. Gao Xiaosong, who was eating lobster next to him, heard this, and also picked up his fan and shook it to laugh at himself:

"Then I, the music director of the movie, can't I still mix a nomination for the best soundtrack, hahaha~"

Everyone also laughed, this time the soundtrack was composed by Gu Xiaofan, all of which were made by Gao Xiaosong as the music director, rearranged and followed the soundtrack of the picture, Gu Xiaofan was not professional in this regard, it was completely Gao Xiaosong's skills.

It's just that although Gao Xiasong thinks that Gu Xiaofan's composition is really powerful, he always thinks that he can't be compared with foreign soundtrack masters after all, this is not because Gao Xiaosong's appreciation level is a problem, but because he is in the Lushan Mountain, if someone tells him that the cello song "Memory" is made by Hisaishi, he will immediately feel that this music is simply too good.

Facing Gao Xiaosong's lack of confidence, Zhou Yunfa next to him smiled and said: "I think there is really hope for the soundtrack this time." ”

Gao Xiasong shook his fan again and again and said embarrassedly: "Brother Fa, don't joke with me, I can't afford this." ”

Although Gao Xiaosong likes to brag on weekdays, he is also a great talent with a movie dream, he has been working at the bottom for movies in Los Angeles for so many years, and even made restricted movies.

Now if he wants to say that he can be shortlisted for the Oscars, he really doesn't believe it, Gao Xiaosong always feels that he is still ten Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards between him and the Oscars...... Now he hasn't even touched a Chinese award
