Chapter 66: The Nominees Gather

Gao Gang asked, "Captain, you are so good at kung fu, why don't you go to boxing?" The captain asked rhetorically, "Why should I go boxing?" Gao Gang said: "In terms of money, you are always careful, isn't it faster to make money by boxing?" The captain said: "In my hometown, everyone knows kung fu, they are all farmers, but no one uses their fists to make money, and they practice martial arts, not for boxing." Gao Gang asked again: "When life forces you, you always have to make a choice." ”

The captain sighed softly, "Do you know why you got injured in that fight with Street Fighter?" Gao Gang was a little inexplicable, and the captain said: "Because the more you fight, the worse you get, you fight for money, you fight for war, and you lose yourself in battle, how can a person who can even lose himself can gain insight into the opponent?" Martial arts training is to strengthen the physique, temper the spirit, and let yourself have the courage to get out of the predicament when facing the predicament, rather than using kung fu to fight black boxing and use kung fu to make profits in the face of predicament. ”

Wu Jing thought carefully for a while, recalled the past battle clips, and found that as the captain said, he was getting worse and worse, and according to the previous level, he should not be injured: "I have been taught, but captain, I hope you can help me prepare for the last battle and pay me 100,000 US dollars." ”

As soon as he talked about money, the captain's eyes immediately lit up: "Okay, good, 100,000 dollars, great." Gao Gang couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Captain, why are you so excited when it comes to money?" The captain sighed softly and talked about the situation at home and the purpose of his own money.

Through such a dialogue, the spirit of kung fu is explained, and in the later fight scenes, Wu Jing can think of these words in the predicament, open his heart, and defeat the opponent, and the film will have a soul.

In a blink of an eye, it entered February, on the 5th, Liang Xiaolong was merciful and gave the crew a day off, because today is a very important day, the Oscar nominees luncheon, all the nominees will be present at that time, and some of the company's senior executives will also come, for the sake of that little golden man, Liang Xiaolong has no reason to be absent from this important party.

And, interpersonally, it's also an opportunity for him. One thing is very important in the mixed entertainment industry, that is, connections, without Julia's original support, there would be no success for Liang Xiaolong; Without Julia joining "The Cops and the Thieves" for free, there would be no current Yanhuang Film Company; Without Shirley's help to squeeze out of the theater, the box office of "Cops and Thieves" was not so high, all of which is the role of connections.

But how long has it been since Liang Xiaolong debuted? The most lacking thing is connections, for example, if Liang Xiaolong wants to shoot a film with a strong artistic atmosphere and invite those first-line superstars, those superstars will definitely refuse without hesitation, because the two sides don't know each other, they don't understand, they won't put the star journey in the hands of Liang Xiaolong. And if Julia is invited, the big mouth must be very happy, because they are friends and know each other well.

Therefore, the purpose of Bruce Leung's trip is to make more friends with movie stars, as an emotional investment, and when it is time to make a new film, it may be much easier to invite these big names.

"Hi, hello Captain." Hearing such a voice, a black line immediately surged up on Liang Xiaolong's forehead, but when he saw the owner of the voice, he really couldn't get angry. Sophie. Marceau, the most beautiful goddess of the surname in France, has an angelic appearance, especially those clear, melancholy big brown eyes that can make men all over the world fall in love with it; She also has a devil-like figure, one meter seven three, and the ratio of 34-24-34 can make the blood of men all over the world swell; She has both a Westerner's sense of surname and an Oriental mystery, like the chanel number five, exuding an unshakable charm.

It is worth mentioning that she is the heroine of "Braveheart", and "Braveheart" is the strongest opponent of "The Sun Is Like Me" and "Never Compromise".

"Hi, hello French." Since the other party was joking, Liang Xiaolong planned to accompany him to the end: "The makeup artist of "Braveheart" is very bad, and a good beauty made him look like that, and failed." Sophie giggled: "Young man, the sycophants are good, but unfortunately I'm already at an age where I'm immune to sweet talk." Liang Xiaolong rolled his eyes: "Women, down to sixteen, up to sixty, it is impossible to be immune to sweet words. ”

Sophie smiled: "The little guy is eloquent, no wonder he can pick Rachel's English rose." But Captain, now that our movie is a mortal rival, do you have the confidence to beat "Braveheart"? Liang Xiaolong smiled bitterly: "I can only pray that the jury is biased towards me a little." Sophie smiled: "Our director also has an idea with you, but I think you should be able to win the best screenplay." Liang Xiaolong said with a smile: "Borrow your auspicious words, and when the time comes, I will lend you the little golden man to play for two days." Sophie laughed, "Then I'll definitely sneak it home." ”

While chatting, Liang Xiaolong saw Mark waving to him, and hurriedly said goodbye to Sophie: "I'll go over first." In his heart, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this woman is like a beautiful work of art, a man can't help but appreciate it, and a man has the urge to push her down, but face to face, his eyes can't always be stared at randomly, right? can only endure pretending to be a gentleman, the taste is like the night of Hui Yanagishita, Liang Xiaolong is wondering, is Hui Yanagi a man, can he bear it?

Mark smiled, "Young man, you had a great time chatting with the beautiful woman." Liang Xiaolong glanced at him angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, everyone is a child's mother." Mark laughed: "If you go forward, you will definitely be able to defeat that old Polish man and take this bewitching rose home." And, don't you think young women are more flavorful? Liang Xiaolong had a black line on his head and scolded angrily: "Evil old man." ”

After chatting with Mark for a while, Julia also came: "Hello captain. Liang Xiaolong said depressedly: "I really want to sew up your big mouth." Julia smiled: "Captain, there are many surnames, and most people don't dare to take this name." Liang Xiaolong smiled bitterly: "Come on, why don't I help you p a few photos another day, so that you can also taste this taste?" Julia glared at him, "Then I promise you're worse than Carl." Liang Xiaolong was quite speechless, Hollywood beauties are more narcissistic than the other, but they are also more cautious than the other, and they can't be offended.

As time went on, the nominees gradually came, and Liang Xiaolong's eyes were sharp, just in time to see Susan. Sarandon whispered in Julia's ear, "Sister Big Mouth, your biggest opponent is here." Susan is the heroine of "Death Row Prisoner Walking" (aka: Atlantic City), she has been in the arts for more than ten years, but her acting skills are very exquisite, if it weren't for Liang Xiaolong, she would be this year's Oscar queen. However, even if "Never Compromise" is released early, she is still a favorite for Best Actress, and whether Julia can win back the Golden Man depends on whether she can beat Susan.

Julia just smiled faintly: "The five nominations, in fact, everyone's acting skills are not much worse, and their performances are all excellent, but which one of them won the little golden man in the end is not because of his best performance, but because of his influence in all aspects." Liang Xiaolong still agrees with this, the influence of the film, the influence of the actors, and the hype of the media can subconsciously influence the thoughts of the judges, so the competition for the golden man must not only use the movie to compete, but also fight outside the film.

In terms of fame, Julia took advantage, the two were not much different from each other before, but last year's "Never Compromise" box office was 280 million, and "Police and Thieves" box office was 350 million, which caused a strong response in society, and Julia almost sat on the throne of Hollywood's first actress in 95 years. In terms of the social repercussions of the film, Julia is even more advantageous, putting aside the absolute advantage of "Never Compromise" at the box office, "Never Compromise" successfully created a modern, realistic hero, and in "Death Row Walk", although the heroine is great, but the religious overtones are too heavy, but it is not as good as "Never Compromise".

In addition, Julia also has some advantages in performance, although Susan plays the role of Sister Helen very well, but the definition of this role limits Susan's play. The character of Erin is different, Erin has faced too much, has a variety of life, and a variety of mindsets, which can allow Julia to play to her heart's content.

So, no matter how you look at it, Julia has the upper hand. Of course, in the end, whether or not you can win back the little gold figure is still in the hands of the jury.

Up and down the crew of "The Sun Is Like Me", up and down the crew of "Never Compromise", Liang Xiaolong suddenly found that he knew a lot of people, Robin first came over to say hello: "Captain, I was miserable by you last year." Liang Xiaolong couldn't help laughing, originally the box office of "Escape from the Magic Age" directed by him could exceed 100 million, but because of Liang Xiaolong's remarks, the box office plummeted, and in the end, the local government only got 80 million, which can recover the cost. However, the overseas box office was not affected, and it still won $160 million strongly.

But Liang Xiaolong doesn't regret it, who let that arrogant person provoke himself first? "Then compensate you with a little golden figure this year." Robin smiled bitterly: "That's so easy, five nominations, that one is not eyeing the little golden man." Liang Xiaolong smiled: "Have confidence in yourself, you will definitely be able to defeat them." Robin said: "I hope so, it's you, who almost booked the little golden man." Liang Xiaolong is not so optimistic, although the two nominations have a better chance of winning the little golden man, but as long as there is the obstacle of "Braveheart", everything is unknown.

The Oscar nominees gathering is also a grand event for industry elites to communicate, so the nominees will be present, and such a grand event, the media will naturally flock to report, it can be said exactly, as long as you come, you will inevitably be interviewed, Liang Xiaolong is no exception, of course, the reporter is most concerned about his captain's door incident. In this regard, Liang Xiaolong was very depressed, but for the sake of the promotion of the film, he could not deny that he was spoofed, so he could only vaguely say: "That's pretty much it, when the film is released, everyone is welcome to come and see me show my acting skills, you know, the captain is very strong." ”

At the end of the party, all the nominees will take a group photo, also known as the Oscar family photo. ended this feast in the film industry, Liang Xiaolong immediately went into filming again, striving to end the literary drama as soon as possible and enter the martial arts stage, but at this moment, Liang Xiaolong suddenly received a strange call: "Hello, I'm Liang Xiaolong, may I ask who you are?" The other end of the phone said, "Hello Mr. Liang, I'm Wu Yusen." Liang Xiaolong was stunned, he had been friends with Director Wu for a long time, but he had never had a chance to contact him, what would happen if he suddenly called this time?
