Chapter 624: He Wants to Work With You

In 1989, the 61st Academy Awards were held on March 29 in Los Angeles, the Great Hall of the Holy Citizens.

At this year's Oscars, judging from the list of nominees, the competition is much more fierce than last year, and the results are more unpredictable than last year.

In the last Oscars, the awards were mainly focused on the competition between "Rain Man" and "The Last Emperor", and everyone expected from the beginning that only "Moonlight" could beat these two films in Best Actress.

In fact, in addition to the Best Actress than Cher in "Moonlight", other important awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, etc., were divided between "Rain Man" and "The Last Emperor".

But this year is different.

Of the films nominated this year, four films received seven nominations. In addition to "The Silence of the Lambs" directed by Chen Ping'an, there are also "Dangerous Liaisons", "Mississippi is Burning" and "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". "Working Girl" followed with six nominations.

Who will be the biggest winner of this year's Oscars, who will win the most awards, and who will win several high-profile awards, no one can say clearly.

On the day of the award ceremony, dressed up Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong arrived at the Holy Citizens Auditorium, and were soon surrounded by reporters, and various questions were constantly thrown. In addition to asking him if he was confident in The Silence of the Lambs, more questions were about the comparison of the Oscars and Golden Globes.

A reporter even deliberately asked him if he deliberately said that because the Golden Globes repeatedly turned him away, and whether he was suspected of currying favor with the Oscars.

Chen Ping ignored this, and at the same time wrote down the other party's newspaper and name.

This is the United States, he can't do it openly, he will be arrested. But privately, he will not tolerate such provocations. Anyway, there are many slums in the United States, and most of those places are very chaotic, if this guy dares to go there...... Hum!

As for saying that the other party is not going, that is impossible. As long as there are enough news clues and enough opportunities for him to become famous, you should never underestimate the courage of a reporter.

got rid of the reporters, walked across the red carpet, and came to the auditorium, Zhong Chuhong whispered: "If you don't accept the argument, you dare to say anything!" ”

"Am I wrong?"

"Sometimes I envy you, I can say whatever I want, and I don't have to worry about the impact at all. This is true in Hong Kong, but it is also true in the United States. ”

Zhong Chuhong is the best-developed Chinese star in Hollywood, but many times he has to be very careful when he speaks and does things, so as not to be caught by others and attacked and affect his image. Fortunately, the company supports her, and many people in the entertainment industry doubt her relationship with Chen Ping'an, and Chen Ping'an is notoriously difficult to mess with, so no one will deliberately make things difficult for her.

Chen Ping'an smiled and waved his hand to Eddie Murphy, who was not far away, and whispered at the same time: "Because I didn't say anything wrong." ”

Celebrities arrived one after another, and Chen Ping'an's acquaintances and friends were many and greeted and chatted with each other.

With the arrival of Anthony Hopkins and Lin Qingxia, reporters were much more interested in them than Chen Ping'an.

A "The Silence of the Lambs" made both of them nominated for Best Actor and Actress. Both are veteran actors in the UK and Hong Kong, but they are out-and-out "newcomers" to Hollywood.

However, these two "newcomers", the first film made in Hollywood, the domestic box office in the United States exceeded 100 million, and the global box office was close to 200 million, and they were nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor and Actress in one fell swoop, which was enough to shock Hollywood.

It would be a miracle if one of these two could win the prize!

The reporter naturally paid great attention to their appearance, and they were blocked by the reporter for a long time before walking across the red carpet and into the auditorium.

When walking the red carpet, I kept greeting people on both sides, and after seeing Chen Ping'an and Zhong Chuhong, the two walked over together.

"Hi Chen!"

Anthony Hopkins gave Chen Ping'an a warm hug.

The movie "The Silence of the Lambs" has made him beautiful since last year. He was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, an Academy Award for Best Actor, a BAFTA Award for Best Actor and a Saturn Award for Best Actor.

A total of four nominations, which is a miracle.

Although the Golden Globe Award did not win in the end, there are still three film awards waiting for him to compete for. Even if he ends up empty-handed and all four nominations fail, he doesn't care. His portrayal of Hannibal was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the film caused a strong response after its release in the United Kingdom.

At this year's 45th British Academy Film Awards, he and Lin Qingxia are the favorites for Best Actor. Although he is the protagonist, he has appeared on the screen for less than twenty minutes.

Lin Qingxia also said hello to Chen Ping'an, and then pulled Zhong Chuhong, and the two daughters chatted happily.

They are all Hong Kong actresses who work hard in Hollywood, and they were good friends when they were in Hong Kong, and of course they have to support each other when they come to the United States.

"Chen, I need to make sure again, you don't care about the newspaper reports, do you?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Ping'an looked at Anthony Hopkins and Lin Qingxia in astonishment, and the latter threw him a look of self-begging.

The two were surrounded by a group of reporters at the door just now, and in order to get out, Anthony Hopkins had to throw heavy news to reporters.

At that time, when the reporter asked him if he was confident in tonight's Best Actor, he told the reporter what Chen Ping'an had said to him.

"Before filming 'The Silence of the Lambs,' I asked the young but talented director, if I was the main character? If so, why is it that a movie is almost 120 minutes long, and my scene is less than 20 minutes. I've also complained that I'm probably the least leading actor ever in the history of cinema. Guess what, what does that Chinese Chen say with me? ”

The reporters were very interested in this answer, prepared to take notes, and then heard Anthony say loudly: "He said, you are the actor with the fewest scenes of all time, and you will be the actor with the fewest scenes of all time!" ”

"Hahaha, they're stupid! Hey Chen, what's wrong with you? ”

"I'm stupid too." Chen Ping'an didn't know what to say. "You're selling me."

"Giggles!"

Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia chuckled on the side, and Wu Yusen and Zhou Yanfa, who had just arrived, also came over and asked them why they were so happy to talk about.

Lin Qingxia recounted the matter, and Wu Yusen and Zhou Yanfa also laughed.

Zhou Yunfa joked: "Boss, you're going to be famous!" Tomorrow's newspapers will be full of yours, and by the time Anthony lifts the Best Actor trophy, you'll probably be on the front pages of most newspapers. ”

"Am I not famous now?" Chen Ping'an feigned anger, "Do you think I won't be able to make the headlines tomorrow?" Or do you think I'm fooling the old fellow Anthony? ”

Everyone was stunned, and so was Anthony: "Chen, don't you really think I can win the award?" I lost the Ballon d'Or. ”

"Che, don't compare that street stall to Oscar."

Wu Yusen nodded and said meaningfully: "Anthony, have you prepared an acceptance speech?" ”

"Wu, are you kidding me?"

"No, I'm serious. I'm sure my boss, you're going to win tonight. ”

"Director Wu, it's rare to see you laughing!" Zhou Yan laughed, Zhong Chuhong and Lin Qingxia also thought that Wu Yusen was joking.

"You don't understand the boss." Wu Yusen sighed not much, Chen Ping'an happily held his hand: "Old Wu, confidant!" I'll bring another script this time, do you want to? ”

"You've written another script? How did I not know? As soon as Zhong Chuhong spoke, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

But no one cared. Anthony Hopkins didn't understand, and the others had already known or guessed her relationship with Chen Ping'an, so it was not strange.

Anthony asked: "Chen, I remember Lin told me that you have to shoot several plays in Hong Kong every year, and the scripts are all written by yourself, but I didn't expect you to be a prolific screenwriter!" ”

"I'm not very productive, and there are people in Hong Kong who are much better than me."

"Yes, yes, that fat man is even more powerful, and he's a fast gunner." Wu Yusen echoed, "Boss, what script?" ”

"Mission Impossible. I'll go to the company tomorrow, and we'll talk about the script in detail. ”

As time went on, more and more celebrity guests came to the auditorium to greet each other. Since "Rain Man" won the award last year, Dark Horse International has become bigger, and Chen Ping'an's status in Hollywood has become higher and higher.

"Hello Mr. Chen, I'm Tom."

Chen Ping'an didn't expect that after Tom Cruise entered the arena, he actually took the initiative to come over and greet him. smiled and shook hands with each other: "Hello Tom, I'm your fan, and I like your movies very much." ”

"Really? Then we should find a time to talk. Honestly, I also love your directing style, and the movies you make are all great. ”

Wouldn't it be great?

Chung Chuhong and Whoopi Goldpow in "Ghost Love", Dustin Hoffman, Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts in "Rain Man", Whoopi Goldpow in "Nuns Are Crazy", Anthony Hopkins and Lin Qingxia in "The Silence of the Lambs".

Every movie has a box office of more than 100 million, and every star has reached a higher level in his movies.

Since last year's Oscar, Dustin Hoffman won the emperor for the second time with his excellent acting skills in "Rain Man", there are rumors that if he accepted Chen Ping'an's invitation to star in "Rain Man", he is likely to win the Oscar actor crown last year.

Chen Ping'an was a little surprised.

Isn't it, can't you hear that buddy is just a scene, how can you pick it up?

"Okay, no problem, I should still be in Los Angeles for the next two days, and I have time at any time."

"That's it. Miss Zhong, you are beautiful tonight. ”

After Tom Cruise left, Zhong Chuhong whispered, "Tom may not be able to help it." ”

She has a good relationship with Tom Cruise, and the first new film to be filmed after "Human Ghost" is to partner with Tom Cruise, and there have been scandals, and the two are friends.

"What can't you help but have?" Chen Ping'an asked rhetorically.

"I think he wants to work with you, he wants to win an award. Don't look at me like that, I'm not a lobbyist, every actor wants to win an award, what's wrong with that? ”R1152
