Chapter 704: Unstoppable

Yes, if "The Undertaker" is excellent, the most advantageous point is in the actors' performances, although the artistic direction and soundtrack are excellent, they are not as good as Zhou Yunfa's amazing acting skills......

Gu Xiaofan has never asked himself a question, why Zhou Runfa was not shortlisted for the Best Performance Award this time, could it be that the actors shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor this time are better than Zhou Runfa?

If it's because of the language, why was Marion Cotillard best actress last year for a French-language film "La Vie en Rose"?

Does she speak French? And how many Americans understand French?

Even if Zhou Yunfa may not be able to win the Best Supporting Actor, then isn't he even qualified to be shortlisted?

Gu Xiaofan repeatedly asked himself this question in his heart, and there was only one answer - that is, habit, because no Chinese had ever won an acting award, so no jury had to choose so. [Full text reading]

It's like, long ago, when a black man got on the bus, it would attract criticism, and in the hearts of the 6,000 Oscar judges, Chinese should not be brought to win the acting award......

You know, Chinese has won almost all the major film acting awards in the world, but there is no acting award at the Oscars...... Not even a nomination.

Gu Xiaofan remembered the wild words that Abel Warner said to him with his skull, and looked at the American counterparts around him.

He knows in his heart that although there are many ugly things in business, the group of American filmmakers is still very noble, fair and rational, they are not affected by commercial factors, and choose movies completely by their own inner thoughts.

Because of this, "The Undertaker" was able to win two technical awards.

However, it is precisely because of this that it is even more terrifying...... Zhou Yunfa in "The Undertaker" cannot be nominated for the Performance Award, which Chinese can be nominated?

All this is going to be changed, it must be changed! Gu Xiaofan's desire in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but turn his head, and said to Zhou Yan in a stubborn voice: "Brother Fa, you wait for two more years, when I gain a firm foothold in Warner, and I wait for me to gain enough influence, I will let you stand on that stage." ”

Zhou Yanfa glanced at him in surprise, and seemed to notice the persistence in his eyes, nodded gratefully, patted the back of his hand with his hand, and said softly: "Director Gu, don't worry...... Take it easy. ”

Gu Xiaofan had a strange light in his eyes, and he couldn't see what he was thinking in his heart.

After "The Undertaker" won two trophies in succession, the atmosphere in the entire Dolby Theater became very peculiar, and the average filmmaker was discussing what the film was sacred, and for some of the high-level executives present from the six major companies, as well as the core people in front of the TV, they could no longer describe it as shock.

In the past two months, in order to prevent the "villain" Gu Xiaofan from appearing in the mainstream media, it can be said that they have exhausted all kinds of methods, although the competition between the six major is fierce, but in this matter, they have reached a rare tacit understanding, that is, this damn Chinese opponent must not be allowed to show his head in Hollywood.

But now, the award for "Best Foreign Language Film" is about to be announced, and once "The Undertaker" wins this award, no one can stop him from showing his face in front of fans all over the United States and even around the world......

This means that the influence of the "villain" Gu Xiaofan in the film and television world has officially entered the North American and even the world market from China......

This is the last thing Hollywood's six film and television giants want to see.

Can ...... now Who can stop him? Which foreign language film can compete with "The Undertaker", which won two technical awards?

In the mainland, all domestic fans and filmmakers are also staring at the screen, and they also vaguely feel that "The Undertaker" is about to win the third award, and everyone is looking forward to that moment.

After Hugh Jackman and Beyoncé performed the song program, the Dolby Theater played with light violin music, and the golden humanoid sculpture on the big screen slowly swirled from the sky.

"Today, as bright as the North American filmmakers, are the important foreign filmmakers who have come to us to make our film world shine brighter, and then welcome Irish actor Liam Neeson and Indian actor Freida Pinto ......"

In the golden audience, there was a warm applause and a "whirring" voice, Gu Xiaofan looked at the somewhat complicated eyes of everyone next to him, but his eyes showed a trace of displeasure, those hostility, curiosity, and surprise, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Wearing a black suit and tie, holding an envelope, Irish actor Liam Neeson, holding Freida Pinto, the beautiful actress of "Slumdog Millionaire", smiled and slowly walked to the microphone in front of the stage, and said with a smile:

"I'm very grateful to be here, and it's a great honor that I've met a lot of friends from all over the world...... In my opinion, it is really very difficult for foreign filmmakers to win the favor of Hollywood, unless they have a beautiful look like Miss Freida Pinto next to me......"

Amid laughter, Liam Neeson pointed to the big screen behind him and said, "Now look at the finalists." ”

At this time, the big screen is playing the shortlisted films, and the names are read out one by one.

"This year's nominees for Best Foreign Language Film are: "Badr and Meinhoff" Germany, German - Uli Eide, "Between the Walls" France, French - Lojon Kangtie, "The Undertaker" China, Chinese - Gu Xiaofan.

Badr and Meinhoff (German, German - Uli Erder); "Revenge" Austria, German - Gertz Spearmann; Dancing with Bashi, Israel, Hebrew - Ali Foreman, "

At the time of the video clip, "The Undertaker" was less than 2 seconds, while the popular Israeli film "Dancing with Bash" was as long as 5 seconds......

But at the scene, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at it, just Gu Xiaofan, who was brought by a camera.

Everyone knows who is the real biggest hit at this moment......

If it wins this award, "The Undertaker" will become the big winner of the three golden figures, along with "Rejuvenation" and "Slumdog Millionaire...... And this winner turned out to be a force other than the Big Six?

At the scene, the six senior executives in front of the TV were praying with their hands together, they no longer prayed that their company's film would win this award, and their prayer was only one: "Don't be "The Undertaker", never "The Undertaker"!" "Anyone can do it, as long as it's not an undertaker!

"It's going to be announced...... It's going to be announced......" Liu Shishi's hand squeezed Gu Xiaofan's palm tightly, trembling, and the people in the crew of "The Undertaker" next to him all held their breath, waiting for this moment to come.

The applause in the auditorium stopped, and the guests were all in different moods waiting for the name, and Freda Pinto on the stage slowly opened the white envelope with the little gold figure, and everyone looked at him silently.

On the other side of Warner's seat, Ali Foreman, the director of "Dancing with Bash", nervously quivered his lips slightly.

In Warner's office in front of the TV, Moki and Abel were waiting with frowns on their faces, "mortuary" and "Gu Xiaofan" were the terms they were most unwilling to hear now.

"Gu Xiaofan, Gu Xiaofan......" In Neil's office, Old Jett's group were clasped their hands and prayed.

In the mainland, Yanying, Shangying, and even fans all over the country, countless fans are supporting the same person in front of the movie and TV screens.

Han Sanpin of China Film, Wang Zhongjun of Huayi, and even the leaders of the Film Bureau, all the Chinese filmmakers even leaned forward and held their breath nervously:

"The winner of the 81st Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film, as selected by the jury, is ......"

Liam Neeson looked at the results of the envelope and looked up, his lips moving.

"China ~ Gu Xiaofan ~ "The Undertaker" ~~!"
