Chapter 301: Going Abroad
Everyone was shocked by the news......
Eleven nominations!
This is a Chinese film!
And, most crucially, there is an unprecedented situation where a person is nominated for both Best Actor and Best Director at the Academy Awards. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's really incredible.
However, this involves a problem between the director and the actor......
In fact, in this world, there are still many directors who became actors at the beginning and then slowly became directors, whether in China or abroad, there are several, but such people are often actors before, and then slowly transferred to the director industry, when they become directors, the previous actor career is basically put down.
This is obvious to be like Zhou Xingchigang, Zhou Xingchi also worked as an actor before, and he was also the uncrowned king of comedy, but when he later became a director, he did not continue his career as an actor...... Otherwise, he will definitely have something to play in this.
After all, Zhou Xingchi is still very handsome in terms of appearance, even if he is old, he can feel the handsomeness of his youth, there is no doubt about it.
There are many such examples in foreign countries.
Because, after all, people's energy is limited, and it takes a lot of energy to take care of both their own director and actor careers, and many people feel that they are unable to cope under such pressure, so they finally choose to specialize in one of them, rather than wanting to step on two boats and meet the two careers......
As a result, it is rare for a colleague to be nominated for an award as a director or actor...... Basically never even appeared!
Of course, there are still many self-directed and self-starred people in this world who are also very famous, and there are also some, such as Jay Chou, you can think that his movies are not interesting, and that his performance is a stake, but at least, his films are done very carefully, and he has been working hard to make his own movies, and he is also trying to seek a kind of progress in movies.
The best example in China, in addition to Chen Ge, is Mu Hai, Mu Hai has always tried to direct and act, and Mu Hai is very successful as a director or as an actor, as a director, under his control, there are always many good films, as an actor, his performance is also very successful, since "The True Color of Heroes", his acting skills have been more and more affirmed......
In foreign countries, there are also people like George Washington, who have directed and acted in movies that are quite standard......
It's just that they are not as powerful as Chen Ge's movies, and they don't have the ability to impact the Oscars like Chen Ge's films......
In this way, up to now, in the whole world, in the decades that the Oscars have been held, Chen Ge is the first person to win both the Academy Award for Best Actor and the Academy Award for Best Director......
This has a lot to do with both subjective and objective reasons......
Now Chen Ge has won these two awards, making him the first person in history, and at the same time, Chen Ge's current popularity in the world and recognition by everyone has also increased a lot! In fact, at this point, Chen Ge's popularity is already very high, but the icing on the cake to the next level is sometimes necessary.
In this way, Chen Ge's two awards caused an uproar around the world.
On the Chinese side, everyone is naturally very excited, after all, Chen Ge is Chinese, is a Chinese director, in the past, he has always been able to say that he is the pride of the Chinese film industry, and now he can get such an unprecedented nomination, Chinese film fans will only be happy for Chen Ge, of course, I also hope that he can take both awards and take both awards into his arms.
But in foreign countries, everyone's feelings are different......
As the country that likes "Hero" the most, the audience in Taiben expressed strong concern about Chen Ge winning two awards at the same time, and at the same time sent many blessings.
In the United States, Chen Ge's "Hero" has been nominated for 11 Oscars, and the news that Chen Ge has also been nominated for Best Director and Best Actor at the same time has just spread, and it has really caused an uproar, and many American people are discussing this matter and expressing their views on this matter on the Internet.
The people of the United States also have mixed opinions about this matter......
I think it's pretty good, and of course there are arguments to support it, and they think that "Hero" is really a pretty powerful movie, and such a film has a lot of power and can cause a strong response in the whole world. "Hero" has achieved the pinnacle of all human films so far in the restoration of ancient buildings, and perhaps no one has been able to surpass it for a long time......
The film "Hero" uses a cold third-person perspective to describe the magnificent wars and history that took place in China during that period of time, such a process has attracted everyone's attention, and the flat and straightforward plot has historical tension, so that everyone can know that history imperceptibly and have their own thinking......
For such a movie, everyone thinks that it is normal to get 11 nominations, and if they don't get a lot of nominations, it will make them feel that the Academy Awards are very unfair. Of course, the fact that Chen Ge was nominated for Best Director and Best Actor at the same time in this movie really surprised everyone, but it was only surprising - who made this movie directed and acted by Chen Ge? Since he directed and acted himself, it is also very appropriate for him to be nominated for both the starring and directing projects.
Those American people who think like this are also very optimistic about "Heroes" and feel that there is no problem with the Oscar nomination......
But for some people who have excessive self-esteem, they will feel that such a nomination is very problematic! Why, why can Chinese films get 11 horrific nominations at the Academy Awards? You must know that even if it is a Hollywood film, it is difficult to get such a high nomination, but "Hero", as a Chinese film, actually did it...... Isn't that?
What made them even more crazy was that Chen Ge was nominated for Best Director and Best Actor at the same time! What is this? What is this called?
Such a Chinese people are very angry, and feel that Oscar has no scruples about their emotions......
But in fact, such an extreme number of Mi people are still a minority after all, and most of them still support "Hero", after all, art has no borders, and film, as the seventh art in the world, has a strong sense of commonality in many places, in this case, "Hero" can conquer the whole world, so it is natural for it to get so many nominations at the same time, and it is not interesting to keep holding on to this matter......
Therefore, in the United States, "Hero" has caused a strong debate -
"I still can't tolerate it, I can't tolerate that a Chinese film can be nominated for so many nominations, and it has been nominated for Best Director and Best Actor at the same time! I admit that I've watched Heroes, I've watched them all, and I admit that I love the movie...... But at the same time, I have to say that I don't feel like this movie has that kind of magic...... Because it's a Chinese film! ”
But someone will soon refute this view: "This kind of thinking is too narrow, since you also admit that you like this movie, then you should think of more things, I think the film "Hero" is very shocking, I have never seen such a shocking movie, nor did I think that there could be such a shocking martial arts film in the world." If such a movie can't win an award, then for the people who made this movie, isn't it a kind of hard work that can't be rewarded? What's more, if this movie can get an award, it can only show that we are inclusive in these aspects, as long as it is good, we will advocate it! ”
"I agree with that, yes, what we need is this kind of inclusiveness, we need to make progress in that tolerance, and for the whole year of last year, we certainly couldn't have found a better movie than 'Hero,' and that's what we found all over the world...... So, why can't we give the best award to such a best Hero? Isn't that a complement to each other? ”
…… On various forums in the United States, the 11 nominations for "Heroes" and the unprecedented two simultaneous nominations have caused huge controversy, and all kinds of discussions have never stopped. It is in the midst of such endless voices that more and more people are paying attention to the Oscar journey of "Hero", and everyone is looking forward to seeing the final performance of "Hero" at the Oscars. In the midst of the discussion, Chen Ge is also ready to go, soon, this year's Academy Awards ceremony will be held soon, Chen Ge also needs to arrive some time in advance, for public relations, but also to get acquainted with some people in advance, which is also something that every time you participate in the Oscars.
After all, the Oscars are not just the Oscars, there are a lot of things involved, and there will be many things waiting for everyone who wants to get something at the Oscars.
Chen Ge was actually quite familiar with this process, and he just had to repeat it again.
Recently, people in the United States have been arguing about so many nominations for "Hero", and Chen Ge is not unaware of this.
However, from his point of view, he feels that this matter is quite normal, and it is strange that there is no such argument in terms of the kind of urine sex of the people of the United States, Lao Tzu is the best in the world! But there are also many people in the United States who feel that "Hero" can indeed deserve such an award, so this kind of controversy will inevitably arise.
Chen Ge is not worried about such a controversy, and judging from the information he has seen so far, although there are a lot of arguments, there are more people who support Chen Ge than those who do not support him, and there are a lot more...... Of course, this is talking about the people of the United States.
Since this is the case, Chen Ge is not afraid.
The next thing is to deal with the Oscars, if he can win either of these two awards at the Oscars...... For Chen Ge now, it is really the feeling of being crowned a god.
If you can be crowned at the Academy Awards, then a lot of things are really set directly.
As long as Chen Ge's current great achievements in business are counted, all of them add up, and it is really difficult for Chen Ge to count.
…… Chen Ge will soon step on a plane to the United States.
This time, the celebration banquet of "Hero" will not be eaten until he returns from the Oscar in the United States...... Otherwise, the accumulated global box office of $4 billion would have been enough for a celebration banquet with a big feature......
Chen Ge's ambition is to be able to count the awards he gets and the super high box office he gets together to eat this celebration banquet, which makes it seem more domineering, and the gold content is also quite high, the celebration banquet of box office + awards, I feel awesome when I think about it.
However, before leaving China, many reporters came to Chen Ge's side, and the long guns and short guns directly surrounded him, all wanting to hear some of his views.
After all, such an opportunity is still rare...... Now "Hero" has received so many Oscar nominations, and there are two such controversial mid-list nominations, and the most important thing is that these awards have caused major controversy in the United States, and when will it be until Chen Ge is not given some interviews at this time?
If you wait until the dust has settled on Chen Ge's awards and returns to China to give an interview, the role at that time will be much smaller than now.
That's why everyone is very concerned about the current situation.
Chen Ge did not turn down such an interview, because he also understood everyone's feelings, and knew that many people wanted to ask something from him, so he accepted the interview generously.
"Director Chen Ge, this time, "Hero" was able to get 11 Oscar nominations, and you also directly got two nominations for Best Director and Best Actor, becoming the first person in history, what do you think of this? Have you ever thought of it? A reporter asked directly.
"To be honest, I really thought of it." Chen Ge smiled, with a little shyness in his smile, and then he said, "However, this kind of thought is also a little bit of my own thoughts...... It's completely my own obscenity, so when I suddenly heard the news, I was really stunned......"
"As for my thoughts on the nominations, all I can say is that I'm grateful to have been nominated so much, it's a reward for the sweat that has gone into our team, and we've given so much for Heroes, so these nominations are also an affirmation. The other people who were nominated this time, including Huang Xiaoming and photographer Qi Huan, all of them gave too much...... I hope we can have a good harvest. ”
"I believe it will be possible!" When some reporters heard this, they couldn't help but cheer for Chen Ge, of course, they also hoped that "Hero" could have a pretty good harvest in this Academy Awards, after all, this movie is very attractive, and it is a Chinese film...... It is also the best Chinese film in history, it was shot by Chen Ge, and it has received so many super nominations for the first time in history......
"Thank you." Chen Ge nodded and smiled.
"So, director Chen Ge, recently, because "Hero" has received so many nominations at the Oscars, there has been a lot of controversy in the United States, and many people will think that so many nominations should not be given to a Chinese-language film, what do you think about this?" The journalists asked.
Chen Ge paused slightly, and then said, "I actually don't agree with this point of view...... Because in my heart, film, as an art form, should have no borders, so when judging a movie, I hope that everyone will not judge it by the film area of which country, but judge it by using good movies or bad movies. So I don't want too many people to support this statement, not only because of "Hero", not only because of Chinese films, but also because of the whole world's films, because of the art form of film. ”
"Then do you have any confidence that "Hero" will win the award this time? If Heroes were to win some of the 11 nominations, what would you most like to win......
Chen Ge smiled, and then said, "Of course I still have confidence...... After all, our film has a particularly long production cycle, and there are so many years of hard work in it, such a movie, if it wins some awards, it should be and deserved. As for my hopes, ......" Chen Ge smiled, and then said: "Of course, I hope to get the best director and best actor ...... most."
After a pause, he added: "Of course this is a joke, if it's just hope, I really hope we can get all the nominations, I hope this trip to the United States is smooth......"
"I wish you success!"
With the voices of the reporters, Chen Ge was almost leaving, and it was almost time to board the plane.
Some reporters watched the plane leave, although they were not sure whether it was Chen Ge's, but in their hearts they still silently blessed him, as a Chinese movie fan, in this matter, basically everyone will bless Chen Ge and their journey.
Sitting on the plane to the United States again, Chen Ge gently closed his eyes. (To be continued.) )
