Chapter 262: Oscar II
However, this kind of award basically belongs to the consolation prize, there is nothing to worry about, except for awards such as the Golden Melody Award and the Golden Melody Award, the others are all received by Fang Qing on his behalf, if this is not the case, then Zeng Xiaoxian alone is really soft to receive the award, so now Fang Qing is already a little numb to whether Zeng Xiaoxian can win the award, even if it is an award such as the Golden Melody Award, Fang Qing has no doubts about whether Zeng Xiaoxian can win the award, but now it is the Oscar, as an international award, Many of its rules are still incomprehensible to the Chinese, just like the heroes before them, who were ambushed on all sides in the optimistic situation of the countrymen, but folded their wings and returned!
"Who knows, Oscar is not owned by my family, how do I know if he is happy to give it to me!" Zeng Xiaoxian laughed, and didn't seem to take this matter to heart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At the beginning, he really cared about this matter, and he said that he didn't care about the honor of the Oscar, it was a lie, but the problem is that no matter how worried he is now, it is impossible to change the list of Oscar winners that has been decided, so what are you worried about, it is undoubtedly a waste of time.
Zeng Xiaoxian's statement made Fang Qing happy, and said with a smile: . Is there anyone like you? We are worried about co-authorship, but you yourself are not worried at all, do you still have a little conscience? ”
Zeng Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, it wasn't he who made Fang Qing nervous, now that he pushed the matter on him, he was wronged or not, and besides, this kind of thing depends on himself.
"I want the tea to win the grand prize!!" After Zeng Xiaoxian got a set of custom-made black dresses, tried them on a little, and after making sure that there was no problem, he and others went to the Hollywood Kodak Theater in California, USA, and the 77th Academy Awards will officially start at 5 pm.
When Zeng Xiaoxian and others arrived in Hollywood, it was only half past twelve at noon, after putting down their luggage and other things at the hotel where they stayed, it was almost noon, but it was noon in the United States, but everyone's jet lag had not been reversed, and they were still making up for sleep to adjust the jet lag, after all, it was only a few hours before the official start, and the time they could rest was quite limited, so they had to seize every moment to rest as soon as possible, only Zeng Xiaoxian was running around the world for a long time, what jet lag and the like, he has long been used to it.
Although it is late at night according to the time in Asia, Zeng Xiaoxian still put down his luggage with great interest, took a shower, and went down to the lobby of the hotel to prepare for lunch.
Now this is ten, but he is hungry, he still has to eat a good meal before going to the Oscars, otherwise when the Oscars start, Zeng Xiaoxian doesn't know when it will be, then he will be really hungry!
Zeng Xiaoxian walked down the lobby and was about to order something to eat, when a strange call sounded from behind him: "Hey, you are Zeng!" ”
Zeng Xiaoxian turned his head and saw a black middle-aged man waving his hand at him, Zeng Xiaoxian frowned slightly, who is this? So he asked, "Excuse me, are you?" ”
The black man laughed: "Hey, Zeng, you don't know me, but I know you!" ”
Zeng Xiaoxian smiled slightly, just as his fan, at least he is quite well-known in the United States, it is not strange that someone knows him, and it is strange that no one knows him.
"Didn't expect to see you here, just came to the United States?" The black man asked.
Zeng Xiaoxian was not ready to hide anything and said, "En, yes! You are? ”
The black man laughed and said, "I forgot to introduce myself, well, I think you must not have seen my work, my name is Chris Roque!" is a comedian and the host of this year's Academy Awards! ”
Zeng Xiaoxian suddenly turned out to be the host, as the host of the Oscars, it is not surprising that Zeng Xiaoxian, who is very popular in this award, knows a little about it.
Suddenly, Zeng Xiaoxian remembered a rumor about him before, ten days ago, Chris Roque, who was the host, said in an interview with an American media that he had been asked to host the Oscars many times before, but he politely declined, because he thought the Oscars were "too old-fashioned", and he also said that the Oscars seemed "silly." "The mouth is full of cannons, and there is no cover.
Black movie stars who say that the Oscars are originally white people's "turf" are rarely nominated, so there are only a handful of black viewers who tune in to this show.
Zeng Xiaoxian had a funny feeling on the spot when he heard it, it is true that what he said was the truth, in fact, Oscar said that it was a white man's "territory", and there was nothing wrong with it, look at the more than 70 sessions of the Oscar, among which the number of black people who won awards was counted on one hand, and the yellow race, even to Zeng Xiaoxian's previous life, there was no one. More than ninety percent of them are white people who have won awards, but he is a little impulsive to say it so aggressively, maybe a little suppressed for a long time, don't talk about him, even as a superstar in the music world, he seems very helpless when facing the problem of racial discrimination.
Because he lives in China, it is actually difficult for Zeng Xiaoxian to put himself in the shoes of this racial antagonism, in the United States is not only the superficial things that Chinese usually read on paper, it has penetrated into all aspects of American life, and the status of yellow people in the United States is not as good as that of blacks.
Sure enough, Chris Roque's words caused an uproar, and some angry members of the awarding party have privately begun to call for Locke to be replaced, saying that his words and actions will damage the reputation of the Oscars.
Thankfully, one of the Oscar leaders, Gil Kates, is still strong behind Lock, saying: "Some of what Chris has said in the last few days is meant to make people laugh, because a lot of people think that Oscars are too orthodox and even a little boring, and Chris wants to change people's perceptions." ”
Oscar said that as the first time to host the Oscars, Locke's impromptu interview style couldn't be more in tune with the Oscars' ongoing form transformation.
Because of this, he was almost replaced, it can only be said that it is a disaster from the mouth, and the Oscars are not expected to find him in the future, after all, he has already had an amazing move, who knows what else he will do, the Oscars are old film awards after all, although there have always been calls for them to reform, so that the awards ceremony can be more in line with the current form, but they don't want to reform in the direction of jokes, in case the end it becomes a joke every year like the Golden Sour Plum Awards.
"Oh, I know you, well, I've seen it in the newspaper before!" Zeng Xiaoxian said with a smile.
"Hey, don't you think I'm wrong?" Chrisley said, "Aren't we blacks and you Chinese in the United States discriminated against? Look at how many times we, the disadvantaged groups, have won the Oscars over the years! ”
Chris's voice grew louder and louder, and Zeng Xiaoxian couldn't help but cough twice to interrupt Chris's words.
Although he was right, Zeng Xiaoxian didn't want to make extraneous branches at this juncture, after all, there are some things that everyone knows, there is no need to make them all clear, and why Zeng Xiaoxian has always felt that he is pulling him and even pulling overseas Chinese in the United States to go into the water to support him.
Although there is no one near here now, but to be honest, Zeng Xiaoxian doesn't believe in this comedy uncle who dares to say anything, in case he accidentally reveals what Zeng Xiaoxian said in an interview, then Zeng Xiaoxian's trouble will be big, it's not that Zeng Xiaoxian is afraid, it's just that he doesn't want to waste his experience on this kind of indifferent thing.
"Of course, you have a point, don't you?" Zeng Xiaoxian shrugged his shoulders and learned the posture of the Americans, "But I personally agree with it!" ”
Subsequently, Chris also saw that Zeng Xiaoxian didn't want to get involved too deeply on this kind of issue, and then thought that although Zeng Xiaoxian also belonged to the disadvantaged Chinese in the United States, he was a complete foreigner in terms of identity, and he could count on Zeng Xiaoxian to support him completely on this issue, even if it was only verbal support. He's really crazy, or maybe he's just hoping for a way to vent.
However, he was still a little happy, at least from Zeng Xiaoxian's body, he could see that he was still cheering for the Oscar organizing committee like Zeng Xiaoxian.
"Oh, maybe I'm talking too much!" Chris shrugged indifferently and said, "Good luck, this time you seem to have two movies shortlisted, yes, I've seen both of your movies, it's really good, good luck, I'm optimistic about you!" After saying that, Chris said goodbye to Zeng Xiaoxian.
Zeng Xiaoxian was slightly stunned, looked at Chris's departing back, and shrugged his shoulders slightly, even if he made a connection!
He turned around and asked the waiter to bring food to his room, but now he didn't have the heart to continue eating in the lobby.
After Zeng Xiaoxian got ready again, he first went to meet the crew of "Twilight", although walking the red carpet is a trivial matter, but it is better to ventilate with them.
For what Zeng Xiaoxian said, Catherine was also very generous and agreed to come down immediately, in fact, there is nothing to agree to this kind of thing, even if Zeng Xiaoxian is willing to go alone, there is no problem, Zeng Xiaoxian obviously respects her more like this, and she is also very happy about this.
"Oh, that's totally fine, my dear, now you're also a director, your "Mythology" is indeed a good movie, but it's a pity that the background is too oriental, if it's a little more Western, it's not impossible to pass "Twilight"!" Catherine said with a regretful face, although "Myth" can be regarded as the opponent of "Twilight" last year, but as a director's position, she regrets it.
Zeng Xiaoxian smiled indifferently, shrugged his shoulders, and didn't say anything, obviously when this kind of oriental culture is obviously at a disadvantage, it is useless to say anything!
"Hopefully one day. To be able to see your name on the list of directors at the Oscars! Catherine said that she was complacent to be shortlisted for the Oscars this time, although she was only nominated, but this is an Oscar after all, if the shortlisting is an affirmation, then there is nothing wrong with it, it is a very great achievement to be shortlisted, and she is only the second film.
According to what he said, Zeng Xiaoxian is even more remarkable, as the first film he directed, he can be shortlisted for the Oscars, but it is really no different from a miracle, as for what Catherine said later, I hope to see Zeng Xiaoxian's name in the director's nomination list in the future, but I am afraid that it is impossible for the time being, but it will be difficult to say in the future.
"All three of us were shortlisted for the Oscars this time, God forbid, hopefully we can all win!" Catherine pointed to Zeng Xiaoxian, Dela, and herself.
Della smiled funny and said, "Well, I think other people are praying like God at this time, so whose prayer should God obey, it should be nerve-wracking!" Della's funny made everyone who was originally a little nervous relax a little.
"I guess God doesn't care about it in order not to bother, let's let the goddess of fate decide!" Zeng Xiaoxian said with a smile.
"The goddess of fate will definitely keep us!" Catherine made a sincere appearance, causing everyone to laugh again.
Well, may the goddess of fate bless us! Zeng Xiaoxian said.
Since 1929, the Oscars have been held for 76 years. It can be said that it is a fairly old award. Every year at this time, countless filmmakers from all over the world gather here.
Every year, the Oscar red carpet is a grand fashion show, and it is an excellent stage for stars to show themselves. It is also the most talked about part of the year in Jinskar. The stars who were able to walk on this red carpet did everything they could to attract the attention of the media.
In fact, it's not just the Oscars, it seems that all awards ceremonies have to come before such a set, otherwise, it can only be said that your award is unprofessional, at least it doesn't look very formal.
Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei and others were arranged by the Oscar Organizing Committee early in the morning, as the time approached, the car started slowly, when the car door opened, Zeng Xiaoxian took the lead in leading everyone down, Zeng Xiaoxian was only one afternoon, Li Jian remembered the earth-shattering shouts, the screams of the fans made Zeng Xiaoxian's eardrums slightly vibrate, compared to Zeng Xiaoxian's battle-hardened fans in Asia, the fans of Zeng Xiaoxian's newly captured position in Europe and the United States are not so rational, and more of a kind of madness, This kind of madness is something that many Zeng Xiaoxian's fans didn't have before.
Everyone else is also a little used to it, after all, they are undoubtedly much less famous in the United States than Zeng Xiaoxian, but when they walked to the middle of the red carpet, there was a noisy and uneven shout, and everyone saw that they were their fans. (To be continued.) )
