"From the standpoint of an American, as the producer of the film, do you think this film can show the connotation of Chinese culture very well?" Another reporter stood up and asked such a question, and Lin Mingyang wondered in his heart how Hollywood could make a movie in China and have something to do with Chinese culture.

He didn't immediately answer the other party's question, but turned his head and whispered in Zhang Xianliang's ear to ask about the situation, what he didn't expect was that this matter actually caused such a big wave, and even went online to a major event related to the life and death of the national film industry.

"I think you may have misunderstood!" Lin Mingyang felt the need to explain this matter clearly, "This film is only filmed in China, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with Chinese culture. I can tell you a little bit about the plot of the film, which tells the story of several foreigners who come to China to explore. At most, this film is geographically related to China, and the cultural connection is not very large. Because the ancient city in the film is fictional, the civilization it represents is also my personal imagination on the basis of referring to the ancient kingdom of Loulan. ”

"At the beginning of the last century, there were many foreigners selling Chinese cultural relics in the name of archaeology, and most of the collections in European museums were smuggled out of China at that time. Mr. Felix, the story of your script should be based on this history, so how do you feel about this history? Another sharp question popped up, Lin Mingyang didn't have time to answer, but Zhang Xianliang next to him couldn't sit still, looking at the formation of reporters under the stands, looking at the questions they raised, where is this still like holding a live press conference for entertainment news?

He was so anxious that his brain was sweating, if such a reporter really annoyed Lin Mingyang, the other party brushed his sleeves away, it is difficult to say that the cooperation between the two sides will be affected this time, I knew that I could invite a few newspapers with good relations to give Lin Mingyang an exclusive interview, and now it is like this, there seems to be some riveting energy on and off the stage, Zhang Xianliang has begun to think about how to find a decent step for Lin Mingyang and end this press conference.

"One day, two robbers broke into the Old Summer Palace, one robbed and the other set fire to it, and it turned out that the 'victory' was to divide the spoils equally among the two conquerors who carried out a sack." Lin Mingyang recited a paragraph in a calm tone, and the audience suddenly became very quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"I believe that everyone in the audience is familiar with Hugo's words, Hugo's view of the Anglo-French expedition to China, that is, my view of that period of history. There is no essential difference between stealing and robbery, although I firmly believe that not all of the explorers who came to China during that period were greedy and selfish, but in fact they still did a wrong thing, without explaining or covering up, this is my attitude. ”

"Will this sentiment of yours be reflected in the script of this film?" When the reporter asked the next question, the address had changed from "you" to "you", which probably represented a change in the attitude of most people at this time.

"There will be!" Lin Mingyang nodded affirmatively, "The clue character in the film was because of a disagreement with the members of the expedition team on whether to take away the cultural relics in the ancient city, which led to the failure of his first expedition." There will also be teasing Stein's dialogue, but I'm not sure that Chinese audiences will be able to enjoy the full version of the film! While Lin Mingyang made a promise, he also ridiculed China's film censorship system.

-- Lin Mingyang's "astonishing speech" at the Zhenbeibao Western Cinema has aroused a lot of discussion in the Chinese media circles, but the Hollywood media have not taken this matter to heart at all, and the upcoming 78th Academy Awards Ceremony has attracted the attention of the media from all sides. After the list of nominees was announced, "Blood Diamond", which was released last year, received two nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor. Only then did the media remember that Lin Mingyang seemed to have not appeared in public for a long time.

Knowing that they were nominated for an Oscar, Lin Mingyang and Kate's trip to China is not over yet. He was the first to learn of the news, but Kate learned the news when she saw an expired English newspaper in her hotel room.

When she knocked on the door with the newspaper, Lin Mingyang was surfing the Internet in the hotel room. The two of them were next to each other, Kate didn't have time to change clothes in a hurry, the tulle nightdress outlined the lines of her surname body almost perfectly, Lin Mingyang stood at the door and swallowed saliva, not noticing the newspaper in Kate's hand at all.

glared at Lin Mingyang angrily, Kate tightened the neckline of her nightdress with her other hand to stop the spring from leaking, and then stuffed the newspaper into Lin Mingyang's hand, "You have two nominations for this year's Oscar, do you already know about this?" ”

Lin Mingyang nodded indifferently, his eyes still very dishonestly glancing at the part that Kate covered with her hands, "Today's nightdress is very beautiful, do you like to wear it like this when you sleep?" ”

Kate's face turned red as soon as she brushed it, and she wanted to run back to her room to change her clothes, but Lin Mingyang hugged her waist and carried her into the room without saying anything. On the bed, Kate did not refuse Lin Mingyang's hot kiss, but when Lin Mingyang was about to lift her nightdress, her hand suddenly covered the corner of her skirt and whispered in a vague tone, "Felix, don't!" ”

Lin Mingyang obediently retracted his hand, but still held Kate in his arms, unable to taste the pleasure of passion, and it was also good to quietly enjoy the wonderful feeling of skin to skin.

Feeling that Lin Mingyang's breathing gradually stabilized, and there was no further action to "violate" herself, Kate slowly relaxed her heart, and she put her head on Lin Mingyang's chest. Lying in Lin Mingyang's arms, Kate had an indescribable sense of steadiness in her heart. The two chatted on Lin Mingyang's bed in such an intimate gesture, and the topic at the beginning was naturally related to this Oscar.

"You already knew you were nominated?" Kate curled up in Lin Mingyang's arms like a kitten, letting his fingertips gently caress her hair.

"Anyway, you've got a surprise for me!" Lin Mingyang said very scoundrelly lying on the bed.

"You lied, when you heard the news just now, you didn't have a surprised look on your face, and you didn't even look through the newspaper I brought!" Kate exposed his lies at once.

Lin Mingyang smiled hesitantly, "The surprise I mean doesn't mean that incident!" ”

Kate blushed, and in order to hide her embarrassment, she turned the subject back again. "Others are so excited to be nominated for an Oscar, don't you feel anything about this?"

"It's just a nomination, and it's not really an award, so what's there to be excited about?" Lin Mingyang said nonchalantly.

"But the media is very optimistic about you, after the release of "Blood Diamond", the audience and the media have a good evaluation, and it is a movie that exposes the inside story of the high secret industry, this kind of theme has always been the favorite of the Oscar judges, especially the best actor, your performance is really in place, I think there is a lot of hope for winning this award."

"When I feel like I'm out of play!" There was no loss in Lin Mingyang's tone, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him, "In terms of acting skills, my performance in "Blood Diamond" is not as tense as Hoffman in "Capote", as for the script, I have to admit that "Crash" is better than me in terms of subject matter and depth of content. ”

Kate raised her head that was close to Lin Mingyang's chest, she propped herself up, and looked at Lin Mingyang with a curious expression: "I can't believe that you would say such modest words." ”

"My arrogance is always based on an accurate understanding of myself, if the Oscar judges didn't have a problem in their brains, then I would never have won the award!"

Lin Mingyang's determined tone made Kate a little unconvinced, "Then you can predict that some of the shortlisted films this year will have the last laugh!" ”

"Is there any reward for guessing all right?" As soon as Lin Mingyang heard the bet, he immediately became interested.

"If everything you say is correct, I'll promise you one thing!" Kate gritted her teeth and offered a condition that seemed tempting.

Lin Mingyang's eyes immediately lit up, "Really promise everything?" ”

Seeing Lin Mingyang's appearance of gearing up and eager to try, Kate kept an extra eye this time and didn't say too much, "I'll tell you when you win!" ”

Although he was not very satisfied with this answer, Lin Mingyang still agreed, he pointed to the shortlist in the newspaper, "The biggest dark horse this year should be "Crash", I'm not sure about anything else, but it is the best picture and the best original screenplay!" ”

Kate found a pen and marked the two plays indicated by Lin Mingyang in the newspaper.

Lin Mingyang tilted his head and thought for a while, "The best director should be Ang Lee from "Brokeback Mountain", and the best actor is Hoffman from "Capote". ”

Kate ticked two more strokes in the newspaper, Lin Mingyang looked at the shortlist, in his memory, about the other award winners, the impression was not particularly profound, he thought about it for a while, and the tone of the next answer was no longer so affirmative.

"The award for Best Adapted Screenplay is still "Brokeback Mountain", Peter Jackson's "King Kong" should win three awards in the technical sound, sound and visual categories, and the best art direction, best cinematography, and best costume design should be Spielberg's "Memoirs of a Geisha." These are all relatively deep in Lin Mingyang's memory, and they are all relatively famous, even so, many of them are determined by him with half guesswork.

This is not all said yet, but Lin Mingyang can't remember the others. Kate saw that there were already a lot of marks left on the newspaper, and as long as one of them was wrong, Lin Mingyang would lose. Kate didn't believe that Lin Mingyang could really guess everything, so she was very "generous" and let him go.
