Chapter 325: Hold a minimum of respect for Oscar

Hollywood is in chaos, this time it is definitely not because Shao Yingying or Harry Sloan used any little tricks, but because the whole Hollywood has seen the media people spare no effort to praise Shao Yingxing. Everyone who mixes in Hollywood knows the relationship between Shao Yingying and Hollywood, and they teamed up to stage one good show after another for the whole Hollywood, which eventually led to Shao Yingying's rise in Hollywood. What's going on now? Did this group of media people forget the pain of the slap at the beginning, and when they turned their heads, they began to become inflammatory?

No one knows the answer, and perhaps there is no answer to this question at all, anyway, all kinds of articles touting Shao Yingying and MGM's new movie "12 Years a Slave" have come and gone in various media, and even some movie information has commented on this movie.

"This is not a new story, but this is definitely a new perspective, Shao Yingying recreates the joys and sorrows of the slave state before the Civil War from the perspective of a Chinese."

"It was an era that should not be mentioned, there were countless people's pains, and when Shao Yingying re-brought that era in a way that people couldn't refuse, the purpose was not to humiliate anyone, but to let us know that we had to admit that we were wrong, and we couldn't rely on forgetting to avoid it."

"We have not said a word of good things about Shao Yingxing, what we must say this time is that Shao Yingying sent a good movie, and the movie did not explain who was right and who was wrong from the background, but used his usual style to tell us the most real feelings of that era from the perspective of small people."

This time, the big film critics who used to disdain to write film reviews for Shao Yingying have all taken action. From every detail, they began to explain everything in Shao Yingying's movie. They analyzed it very thoroughly, such as when Shao Yingying first became a slave. Completely overwhelmed by a pile of cotton; For example, Shao Yingying faced the demon slave owner and tortured the female slave, but he did evil things; Another example is that in the end, burning down the entire villa, and dying there with yourself is not tragic, but helpless.

The film critic said: "Shao Yingying's arrangement of the script is very precise, if the actor chooses to shirk his responsibilities under the circumstances at the time, he will not be able to escape the punishment of the law, let alone prevent the black slaves from saving the demon slave owner, that is to say." From the moment Shao Yingying set the house on fire, he was doomed to die, even if the demon slave owner was burned to death because the fire was too big. Shao Yingying will also be beaten to death by those black slaves who want to escape responsibility, only then will they have a chance of survival. So Shao Yingying chose to die by himself, so that he could remember the dignity of being a young master when he was in Yuezhou. ”

This is what Shao Yingying thinks. The actor can't be rescued by the weak motherland. There is no hope in front of him, and if he lives like this, he is no different from death in terms of his identity. Man is a creature that is very good at forbearance, so Shao Yingying can endure, he can seek a chance to escape by enduring everything around him, but when he saw the hanged black slave on the escape road, this road was broken, and he didn't know how many people outside this defensive circle were waiting for him to catch the fish. Subsequently. He puts his perspective on the hostess, and wants to use the contradiction between the hostess and the slave owner in exchange for freedom. I didn't expect that the quid pro quo would be to kill the tortured black slaves.

A little bit of impact, Shao Yingying's world should have fallen into complete darkness, even if he became a demon, he would not hesitate to do so, after all, that could be exchanged for freedom. But the appearance of the carpenter illuminates his world like sunshine, making this soon-to-be-demonic man feel warm.

Fate is always unpredictable, Shao Yingying arranged the movie into life, the story is full of twists and turns, this is not the online text routine to fight monsters and upgrade to find a cool point, but with a thinking that foreigners can accept, the dark and light sides of human nature are fully reflected through a reasonable plot. This is the art film recognized by Hollywood, in their minds, art film is not a maverick, it uses film as a tool, uses story as a carrier, and then dissects the most complex creature of man.

There must be two sides of humanity in any non-popcorn movie that is regarded as a classic by Hollywood fans, and even in a simple story like "The King's Speech", there is the ultimate showdown between cowardice and bravery, not to mention movies like "Slumdog Millionaire".

Hollywood's media praise proves that Shao Yingying finally understands Hollywood after so many years of accumulation, and he is also wandering among all levels of Hollywood, touching the doorknob of the Oscars.

"Shao, it seems that the response is not bad." Harry Sloan said this happily when he saw Shao Yingying in his office.

Shao Yingying smiled very simply, whether it was in his thoughts or on his face, there was no more complexity than before, if people were complicated, their acting skills could not be natural: "I also think it's good, I don't make enemies of anyone, I only treat myself as an enemy and surpass it step by step, which is actually more enjoyable than surpassing others."

"Ha, it seems that you have really grown, but our most critical moment has just arrived." Harry Sloan said: "We got the tickets to the Cannes Film Festival and advanced to the competition without the slightest thought, and Shao, if you can take this opportunity, you will be one step closer to the Oscars. ”

Shao Yingying looked at Harry Sloan a little incomprehensibly, because the United States has its own art film festival, many American fans think that Sundance is the standard definition of art, and other film festivals in Europe are below the standard, even if Sundance is not as famous as those film festivals in Europe.

Facing Shao Yingying's inquiring gaze, Harry Sloan explained: "It's true that Hollywood may not care about film festivals like Cannes and Berlin, but have you thought about a question? If you are recognized by the whole world, or when the whole of Hollywood wants to talk to the Huaxia Film Bureau through you, do they want to make some friendly gestures? Just like the Oscar's gesture to films all over the world, if it weren't for the Oscars opening up the 'foreign language film' award for films from other countries in the world, perhaps the Oscar would not be as high as it is today. If, at the moment when they need you the most and you are fully recognized, you win the Oscar, it proves Hollywood's generosity, and at the same time, I think that the birth of the Chinese Oscar winner will promote the Oscar and Hollywood movies to completely occupy the Chinese film market. ”

"At that time, the culture, history, connotation, and educational background of the United States will spread to every corner of China like a plague with the spread of the movie, which is the best situation for the United States."

Shao Yingying shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly: "Harry, are you misunderstood like those people, I really don't have that much energy." ”

"It doesn't matter if you have that much energy, Shao, as long as the Hollywood and Oscar crowd think you have it, doesn't it? It's not a deal, they don't come to you under the banner and say, 'Shao, I'll give you this, can you give me that?' The process of this has now become that Hollywood wants to give you something first, and then come up to you and ask, 'Shao, can you do me a favor?' That's what is happening now. Harry Sloan said lightly, "We must all admit that when you are in a certain position, if your country is strong enough, you will get infinite benefits, just like the opposite direction described in your movie "12 Years a Slave". ”

Huaxia is indeed getting stronger and stronger, but Shao Yingying really doesn't know if Huaxia's strength can make him win the Oscar, at this time Harry Sloan's voice sounded in his ears: "Shao, if you can get the best actor at the Cannes Film Festival, I guarantee that you will at least be nominated for this year's Oscars and Golden Globe Awards, if you even win the Golden Globe Award, then the Oscar must be yours; Well, but you also have to be mentally prepared, this country is by no means the Qing Dynasty in the movie, if all this is just our wishful thinking, maybe, maybe, maybe......" Harrislon said three maybes in a row, but did not find the right words to connect.

Shao Yingying nodded and said: "Don't worry, what I said on the day of the test screening was from my heart, I didn't think I would definitely win the Oscar, and no actor in this world would dare to boast that he would definitely be able to win the Oscar." I have the least respect for the Oscar, and I fight for the Oscar for the sake of ......" Shao Yingying pondered for a while and said: "It may not matter to you what I am for, so it doesn't matter much whether I say it or not." ”

Since that day, Shao Yingying has been busier, after the test screening, the day of the premiere is getting closer and closer, for the box office, Shao Yingying did not have too high expectations, at least this movie did not hit a high box office like "Slumdog Millionaire", but won the Oscar Best Picture with a mediocre box office, and disappeared from people's sight with ordinary results after the second release. These are all normal phenomena for Shao Yingying, there are no super special effects in the movie, and there are no superstars other than himself, and there is no need to look forward to the situation of Hollywood's 'king touching king', at least in terms of universal attraction. How could the box office reach a certain shocking height, this is simply impossible.

Shao Yingying still remembers that he felt a little bored in the afternoon at that time, although his mentality at the moment has been put into the best state, but when he is waiting for the world premiere like going through the motions, he still has a feeling of worrying.

The premiere, which cannot be stopped in this case, is about to appear, if the box office is really not high, I am afraid that the voice of Hollywood will fall before...... (To be continued......)

PS: I was shocked by the song "Maybe Tomorrow", and then I realized that I didn't know anything about you, thank you, you reinterpreted the song with your voice, I hope you are all right, in that world where you don't feel sickness, pain, cold, keep singing - your fans.
