Chapter 261: Oscar
couldn't get in, Zeng Xiaoxian didn't force it, turned around and returned to his company's dormitory. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After negotiating Li Duohai's affairs, Zeng Xiaoxian did not directly devote himself to the preparation of "My Girl", because Zeng Xiaoxian's long-awaited Oscar finally kicked off.
The Oscars are held annually in Hollywood, USA, and have enjoyed a prestigious reputation for more than half a century. It not only reflects the exhibition process of American film art, but also has a non-negligible influence on film art in many countries around the world.
Now many people take whether they can win the Oscar as a very important criterion, many Chinese people are also keen to let their films participate in the Oscar, the Chinese began to enter the Oscar a long time ago, at that time it was some movies made by the Western Film Studio, but the Chinese have not made much progress in the Oscars, including the previous life "Hero", "Ambush on Ten Sides", etc., until the appearance of Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain" broke this deadlock, and the Chinese can finally breathe a small sigh of relief.
In fact, after learning some of the essence of the Oscar, Zeng Xiaoxian felt that there was no need to take it so seriously, the Oscar is a festival for Americans to reward their own films, but American movies are too strong. Since the beginning of the last century, the Oscars have set up the award for Best Foreign Language Film, leaving a window for films from other countries.
If it weren't for a local American movie, it would be difficult to insert it at all, only silently be a spectator, and that best foreign language film is equivalent to a consolation prize, if it weren't for Zeng Xiaoxian's participation in American film performances or direct directing an American movie like Ang Lee, in fact, don't mind so much at all, after all, this is actually just a consolation prize.
Of course, this is just when I talk to others, in my previous life, when I talk about others, Zeng Xiaoxian is purely standing and talking without backache, but now Zeng Xiaoxian himself has encountered it, it is difficult to say this kind of onlookers' statement again, Zeng Xiaoxian's "Myth" filmed last year achieved very good results, and the high box office of 810 million US dollars made "Myth" the most box office of all blockbusters except for no blockbusters, and in such a good box office background, there are delicate emotional descriptions, which are tear-jerking. So of course, it was shortlisted for the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the 77th Academy Awards, and at the same time, "In Paradise", Sweden, "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", France, "The Destruction of the Empire", Germany, "Deep Sea Sleep", Spain, in general, although five nominations were given, but in fact, the impact on "Myth" was not great at all, and it would not affect "Myth" too much.
But Zeng Xiaoxian didn't dare to take it lightly, although the commercial taste of the Oscars has become heavier and heavier over the years, and the box office results have become more and more important, but it is also a consistent tradition of the Oscars to be unpopular, just like Zeng Xiaoxian crossed over, the box office of "Avatar" swept the world, and with a tough attitude, "Titanic" was driven down from the box office list that had been firmly seated for ten years, and was "Bomb Disposal Unit", a little-known small-budget movie, in a promising situation. exploded at the Academy Awards ceremony.
Zeng Xiaoxian estimated that the director of "Avatar" had the heart to jump off the building, Zeng Xiaoxian himself wanted to really change him, and he was also suffocated to death, so he didn't want to follow in the footsteps of "Avatar" and be blown up in a promising situation, so he would really have no face.
In addition to "Myth", it is "Twilight" that has gained the most, this time "Twilight" won the Oscar with the top of last year's box office list and the third place at the box office of the best-selling movie in history, with best makeup, best soundtrack, best song, best adapted screenplay, best cinematography, best editing, best costume design, and other eleven shortlisted. and another film shortlisted for ten nominations, "The Aviator", became the biggest favorite, this award is closely related to Zeng Xiaoxian's award, among which the best actor opponents include Jamie Fox, "Soul Singer", Leonardo DiCaprio, "The Aviator", Clint Eastwood, "Million Dollar Baby", Johnny Depp, "Finding Neverland" and other strong players, is the most dangerous of the three awards, and the best song, Zeng Xiaoxian won the "God is a Girl" Basically, it can be said that it is nine out of ten.
Among the other awards, "Twilight" has many opponents, but in general it is not, a strong opponent like "Avatar". In fact, it doesn't have much to do with Zeng Xiaoxian, winning or losing is basically a matter of the crew as a whole, and it has little impact on Zeng Xiaoxian's personal honor.
The Oscar as the world's top film award has always been the goal of many Chinese filmmakers, and now Zeng Xiaoxian has been shortlisted for several awards such as Best Supporting Actor, all of which are quite heavy awards, this sensation is simply the same as when Ang Lee was shortlisted for the Best Director Award in the previous life, at that time it was because the Chinese were shortlisted for such a heavyweight award for the first time, as we all know, a film festival, the most high-profile award is undoubtedly the best director, best actor, best actress and several other awards, The finalists for these awards have different meanings for many Chinese, and if they can win the award for Best Supporting Actor in one fell swoop, it will undoubtedly cause a greater sensation.
Compared with this, "Myth", which was shortlisted for the best foreign language film, seems a little dim, but in comparison, although the screenwriter from the original work to the starring actors are Chinese, "Twilight" is essentially an outright American blockbuster, and it cannot be compared with "Myth", a domestic boutique film.
This time, Zeng Xiaoxian's two films were shortlisted for the Oscars, which can be said to have shocked the entertainment industry. Almost all newspapers are analyzing the possibility of Zeng Xiaoxian winning the award, by the way, touting Zeng Xiaoxian, basically it is boasting that there is nothing in the sky and the earth, and there are as many bull forks as there are cow forks, according to them, that is Zeng Xiaoxian won those awards is basically the same as playing, without any difficulty.
Zeng Xiaoxian, who watched it in the end, was a little embarrassed, touted like this, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he would be embarrassed to be blown like this!
Zeng Xiaoxian is most interested in what he is most interested in, in case he loses, then how should they fulfill their previous bragging, after thinking for a long time, it is estimated that it is nothing more than a big cultural difference between the East and the West, Americans don't know how to appreciate it, of course, this is indeed a real problem, but it has completely become a tool for reporters to cover up their shame.
Phew, where is there such a curse for their defeat, Zeng Xiaoxian would rather let those reporters be proud for a while than lose themselves, the media is like this, it can hold you to the sky, or it can throw you to the ground, and now it is my own multiple shortlists, so if you fail, then there will be trouble.
There is also a country where the media is particularly happy, that is, the Korean media, although the producer of the work "Myth" is written in China, and the main creators are mostly Chinese and Han Yin has nothing to do with it, but I can't stand that many of them are Koreans, many scenes are still filmed in South Korea, this time to the Oscars, several Korean actors will also follow, this is simply a big miracle today.
Therefore, even in the mouth of the Korean media, "Myth" has been praised as heaven and earth, and this level is far above the level of Chinese counterparts, and even can't wait to dig out Zeng Xiaoxian's eight ancestors to prove that Zeng Xiaoxian is a Korean talent.
Generally speaking, if a whole movie has a lot of awards shortlisted, it should appear on the red carpet with the entire crew, but now Zeng Xiaoxian has been shortlisted for two movies, which is a bit difficult, if it is said that in terms of importance, it is naturally "Twilight" is far more important, after all, Zeng Xiaoxian was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor because of this, but emotionally speaking, "Myth" is more.
After all, it is Zeng Xiaoxian's painstaking work that he has spent an unknown amount of effort to create, and the deep feelings are naturally not comparable to ordinary works.
And the most important thing is that Zeng Xiaoxian, as the screenwriter, starring, and director of "Myth", is the leader of "Myth", so he naturally has to go with his crew at this time.
And "Twilight" is missing one, and in fact, it is not a big problem, so in the end, Zeng Xiaoxian decided to attend the red carpet with the crew of "Myth".
In order to attend the Oscars, the whole company was busy, and specially invited top costume masters to Europe to create full-body outfits for several people who were about to fly to the Oscars.
This time, the company is going to the Oscars, including Zeng Xiaoxian, Hu Yifei, and Lu Ziqiao, the three main actors who play a heavy role in the movie, and they will go to the Oscars with Korean actors at that time.
But at this time, he was dealing with some personal matters, Zeng Xiaoxian had always felt that the assistant was a little less than Fang Qing, and many times he couldn't take care of it, so he applied for one more from the company, and the company's role was a matter of course, but Zeng Xiaoxian never said it, and he got along with Fang Qing quite well, and it didn't seem to be more of a main force, and now Zeng Xiaoxian applied to the company, and the company sent a newcomer Huang Yishuang who had just come to intern.
"Hello, my name is Huang Yishuang, and I was sent by the company to serve as your assistant temporarily!" A big boy in his early twenties came to report to Zeng Xiaoxian, his voice was a little excited, he was able to be assigned to Zeng Xiaoxian's side as a newcomer who had just arrived at the company's top practice for less than three months, which simply flattered him, you must know that generally in order to take the best care of these artists, so generally the best artists are the best supporting services, and newcomers generally do not get such opportunities.
And now Zeng Xiaoxian is going to the Oscars, and he, as an assistant, naturally has to follow, he just entered the industry and went to the Oscars. This is a chance that many people do not have in their lifetime, even if he only follows him as an assistant.
Zeng Xiaoxian smiled slightly, this big boy is younger than himself, but he is basically the same age, the other party has just entered the society, and he has been in the entertainment industry for several years, people say that society is like a big dye vat, very complicated, but in fact, the entertainment industry is more complex than society.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Zeng Xiaoxian, and I'm going to have to worry about my affairs in the future!" Zeng Xiaoxian said with a smile, "In the future, if you cooperate with Sister Qing a lot, I will forget to take care of myself many times, and I will need you to help me a lot at that time!" ”
"That's for sure, I've just entered the industry, and I'll definitely learn from Sister Qing!" Huang Yishuang said that as a newcomer, he was naturally much worse than Fang Qing, a deep assistant, and there was still a lot to learn.
"Oops, finally someone can help me, you guy doesn't know how to take care of himself at all, but I'm tired to death!" Fang Qing said with a smile.
"Hey, Sister Qing, why do you say that it seems that I have abused you!" Zeng Xiaoxian shook his head and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go, I've worked hard for you for so long, it's a big deal to give you a month's vacation now." ”
"I don't want to be angry!" Fang Qing snorted lightly and said, "I'm going to the Oscars soon, if I miss it, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!" ”
The Oscars are a very honorable thing for many people.
Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled and said, "Allah, I don't know how many times I'm going to go to the Oscars in the future, and you will have a good place to go in the future!" Zeng Xiaoxian is naturally very confident in this, after all, not counting his current ability, even the information asymmetry brought about by his rebirth is enough to make him proud at the Oscars.
"That's the same, this is your first time shortlisted, and if you go in the future, it won't make such a sense, if you want to go in the future, you won't go if you don't want to go, only this time I must go!" Fang Qing said.
Everything is the first time is the most nostalgic, and the second and third times, no matter how wonderful they are, they can't be compared with the first time, just like no matter how many times you talk about love, the first love is always the most unforgettable.
"I didn't say I wouldn't let you go!" Zeng Xiaoxian pouted and said. "Oh, let's talk about the Oscars, it's nothing to look at, in case I don't win the award, then I'm not a cup, right?" Zeng Xiaoxian joked, although this possibility is very good, but it is not impossible, if that is the case, then Zeng Xiaoxian will really become a joke.
"Impossible, right?" Fang Qing said questioningly, before Zeng Xiaoxian said before the Golden Melody Awards, if he prepared a small showroom in the future, he would put the trophy in it in the future, and if he could fill the showroom one day, it would be the time for him to retire.
In the past few years, Zeng Xiaoxian has won numerous awards, and at the end of each year, he has won awards softly, and basically has received any strange awards. (To be continued.) )
