Chapter 887: The Faces of All Beings on the Oscars (I)
The seven major arts recognized in the world are literature, drama, dance, music, fine arts, architecture, and film, and television, which has the widest audience in the 21st century, is not considered art. The mainstream view in Europe and the United States is that television is a kind of communication medium, which disseminates knowledge or more entertainment information, or it can be said that art is transmitted through television. This is also the reason why Hollywood movie actors look down on TV drama actors, and TV drama actors have to drill into the big screen after they sharpen their heads after they become famous.
However, in recent days, ESPN has broadcast a TV series promotional video, which completely subverts the views of the vast majority of viewers.
Mysterious and quaint music, grand palaces, elegant gardens, exquisite costumes, elegant dances, and even more incredible dishes are endlessly fascinating on the small screen of Guò TV.
"O God, "Maid/of/legend"? This is the life of the ancient Chinese court? ”
"Oh, my/god, Marco Polo wasn't a liar? China was indeed a paradise in ancient times, compared to medieval Europe! ”
……
Thanks to ESPN's promotional film that exudes oriental charm, Lee Young-ae, who is wearing an oriental dress, as the actress of "Maid/of/legend", really murdered a lot of film on the Oscar red carpet, and even Sun Ziming next to her did not completely suppress her light. Actors are sensitive to the camera, and Lee Young-ae can clearly feel that this time it is not the red carpet like before, but that photojournalists are chasing her, and she can't help but feel a real sense of accomplishment.
I am finally not the little Asian actor who stands next to her boyfriend and attracts the attention of others with his light!
On the 60-meter red carpet, Lee Young-ae felt as if it was only six meters, but at the end of the red carpet, Jimmy Kinmo, a famous entertainment news reporter from ABC (ABC), the seemingly beautiful and elegant white woman, immediately gave her a slap in the face.
"Miss Lee, Young, Ae, is the world's greatest film director, how did you become a TV actor? Could it be that your acting skills have not been recognized by him? ”
It is estimated that the TV actors in front of the TV will hate Jimmy Kinmo to death, but he has to admit that there is a huge gap between himself and the big screen actors. The most direct manifestation of this gap is that the most popular TV actor is only paid $200,000 per episode of the TV series, while the symbol of Hollywood A-list stars is $20 million plus box office share!
(For example, big-name star Tom Cruise got more than $46 million in "The Last Samurai"!) What is even more eye-catching than this is Hong Kong Fa, whose total personal income from "Sniper TV Booth" and "Shawshank" invested and starred in has exceeded 300 million US dollars! )
Lee Young-ae, who was still immersed in joy and happiness just now, was also very embarrassed by this white woman's question. Now, except for Hong Kong, film actors in other parts of Asia are not much different from TV actors, and they even know film and television songs, which are called Sansheng stars, but these are not professional in the eyes of Westerners!
Fortunately, Sun Ziming has a lot of experience in dealing with entertainment news reporters, and knows that ABC is deliberately finding fault with himself, because their TV series and variety shows have been completely suppressed by ESPN, so he quickly took over the topic and said: "Jimmy, you are too outdated!" Didn't you pay attention to last month's Berlinale? Did Ae's "Joint/Security/Area" get nominated for the Berlin Golden Bear? ”
"Really?"
Jimmy Kinmo, who is used to paying attention to entertainment news in her own country, is no exception, and she really doesn't pay much attention to the specifics of the Berlin Film Festival, except that "Magnolia" won the Golden Bear, how can she pay attention to other films that have been nominated at the same time?
"Yes, oh God, ABC's gold medal reporter, doesn't you even pay attention to the Berlinale?"
Sun Ziming's-for-tat ridicule made Jimmy Jinmo also have a trace of embarrassment on his face, and at this time, the crew of "Magnolia" came over. Director Paul Thomas Anderson, who had just won the Berlin Golden Bear and Silver Bear Awards, opened his arms to Lee Young-ae, hugged her and complimented: "Ae, your performance in "JSA" is so wonderful! ”
"Thank you"
Tom Cruise and others also came up to hug and congratulate Lee Young-ae, ignoring Jimmy Kinmo next to him. The group of people greeted each other for a while, and Sun Zi Mingcai smiled and said: "OK, the interview seat is given to you, I wish you success!" ”
"Ming, are you giving comfort to the loser?"
Paul Thomas Anderson, who is about the same age as Sun Tzuming, feigned anger and jokingly tried to kick him, drawing laughter from the audience in front of the television and fans not far away.
Jimmy Kinmo let go of the embarrassment in his heart and began to interview the crew members of "Magnolia", but the ABC gold medal reporter suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart, and finally experienced the feeling of ten years ago again - what is Hollywood? In the eyes of these big stars and directors, he is just a reporter who depends on them for food, and the person he wants to embarrass himself is a big man in their eyes.
In the crew of "The Last Samurai", which has opened Sun Ziming and the others more than ten meters, there is one more Fa Ge who came over to join in the fun, and he followed Li Yu and Li Zhi to brush up on the sense of zài. In recent years, he has not been happy in Hollywood, although his acting skills have been recognized, but he has played some supporting roles. finally took on a "Anna and the King" and played the leading role, but the box office failed miserably so much that he couldn't even get his book back. If it weren't for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" wanting to take the summer schedule, he would rather stay in Hong Kong to shoot "Dark War" than come here to join in the fun.
Ken Watanabe's sense of loss may not be visible to others, but Fa Ge, who has achieved great acting skills, can see it. Fa Ge, who likes to play around, rarely didn't joke with him, but sighed: "Bian Qianjun, this is Hollywood!" If you don't take it too seriously and only use it as a place to make money, your life will be more mixed. ”
Ken Watanabe, who was deeply baptized by Buddhist culture, is like an initiation, this great god can see it, what else is he missing?
"Thank you Zhou Sang for your enlightenment, I'm fascinated."
After sighing, Fa Ge immediately showed his true face, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I don't read much, and I don't know if I don't know each other." But I know it's a lot of money! If we were in Asia, we would be considered a top star if we could get two million dollars, and we could get five or six million casually! ”
"Yo Xi, I think so too! Liu Sang has a saying, what do you say? ”
That sentence was not said by Ah Qiang, it was said by Ziming, but Fa Ge did not hesitate to let Liu Weiqiang carry the black pot, "There are many people who are stupid here, come quickly!" ”
"Yo Xi, secluded!"
Liu Weiqiang, who was already seated in the seat next to him, saw that Fa Ge was planting a false accusation again, and scolded with a smile: "Immortal Fa, you have to change your name to 'Ba Po Fa'!" ”
"Viagra? Wow, you're mighty! I've got my eye on a Lamborghini, next time you're filming The Matrix, be careful, don't crash too badly, and dispose of it as garbage? ”
'Viagra' is said in Chinese, and most people here can't understand it, but Li Yu and Li Zhi can understand it, and the man laughed, and the woman turned her face and pretended not to hear.
In the midst of a burst of laughter, the host of the 72nd Academy Awards, Billy? Christo, when he began to walk on stage to make jokes about gags, Sun Ziming was late and sat in the crew seat. "The Last Samurai" received ten nominations, and the crew members were all seated in the front row, and Lee Young-ae did not have this treatment, so she could only sit in the family seat and be accompanied by Li Meixian.
"What did you just say, laughing so hard?"
Ken Watanabe, who was next to him, had completely adjusted his feelings, and whispered with a smile: "Zhou Sang gave Liu Sang a nickname, called Viagra (commonly known as 'Viagra'). ”
"Oh, he really wants to eat more Viagra, it's been too bad in the past few years!"
Sun Ziming's unintentional ridicule made Watanabe Qian a little panicked, Zhou Sauna was called Xun with a salary of 8 million US dollars, so what is it called if he only got 200,000 yuan to star in "The Last Samurai"?
The person who is panicked in his heart is not only Ken Watanabe, but also Tom? Cruise, who was happy on the surface, had mixed feelings in his heart.
When Nicole Kidman divorced him, he tried his best to finally preserve his image, but the truth is best known to several parties. Even if Sun Ziming still regards Nicole as a friend regardless of his feelings in the future, he has no intention of complaining, he just regards it as his Chinese friend.
But he never expected that Nicole finally turned into a butterfly after starring in "Forrest Gump", and has been nominated for Golden Globe Awards and Oscars in recent years, and the movies she starred in have done well at the box office, and she quickly changed from a vase to a recognized first-line star with both acting skills and beauty.
This time, Nicole Kidman once again starred in Universal's "Boys/dont/cry", playing an eighteen-year-old boy at the age of thirty-two, not only acting vividly, but also using her acting skills to prop up a film with an average director, an average script, and an average other actors, and won the Best Actress nomination again, and has already won the Golden Globe Award.
It's over, if Nicole gets the little golden man this time, even if she wins the best supporting actor, she will be compared to those reporters who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
As if sensing the troubles of her ex-husband sitting not far from her, Nicole Kidman, dressed in full costume, triumphantly talked to director Kimberly? Pierce laughed. That bastard paid out of his own pocket for the public relations of "Magnolia", others don't know, but she doesn't know when she becomes friends with Alexander? Even Sun Ziming thought she didn't know what she didn't know, she knew everything, such as the truth of those two photos. She is not a fool, whoever is the final beneficiary is the most suspicious, this is a wise saying!
However, Nicole Kidman no longer has the same tendons as she used to be, and knows that in Hollywood, there are some things that you have to learn to play stupid, especially from an outsider like her. That's why she slept with Sun Ziming on the one hand, relying on his vision of selecting films to sit on the throne of a first-line star for herself, and on the other hand, she also made a lot of contacts, so that she would be regarded as an outcast again in the future. Nicole, who has been accustomed to seeing all kinds of people in the past few years, has long understood that if you want to mix well in Hollywood, you should never rely on a certain person, even if he is her husband or lover.
