Chapter 587: Building Momentum
"When I wake up, am I going to be crowned Oscar?"
"When will the voting channel open, you must give me a few votes for Chu Shen!"
"Brother Chu still needs to swipe tickets, Oscar winner, it must be my Brother Chu's!"
"The Oscars are professional judges, not our Hundred Flowers Award."
"What bullshit professional judges? If it weren't for me Chu Shen who won the award in the end, the judges would still be professional fart! ”
"Have you heard of it, the Golden Globe Award is the vane of the Oscars, and the Golden Globe of Chushen is crowned, and the Oscars should be nine out of ten!"
"What a weather vane, this is all an old yellow calendar! However, if Chu Shen doesn't win the award, heaven will not allow it! ”
The news that Zhang Chu was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor spread back to China, and the Internet exploded again.
On the forum, as long as there is a post discussing this matter, at least four-digit comments can be swiped below, and everyone is almost one-sided in support of Zhang Chu.
Occasionally, there will be cold water poured on them, but they will soon be drowned out by countless comments.
More and more people are discussing this matter, and some netizens directly went over the wall and left a message on Oscar's official website to build momentum for Zhang Chu.
Many insiders also participated, and some old friends related to Zhang Chu also expressed their support for Zhang Chu when facing reporters.
Li Ping: "When Zhang Chu was nominated for the Golden Globe Award last year, I was taken aback by the news, not that Zhang Chu was not qualified, but ...... It's too fast, sometimes, I feel like filming "Huanzhu Gege" together, as well as "Deep Love and Rain", it seems that just yesterday, Zhang Chu was still a newcomer at that time, but I didn't expect him to be recognized by Hollywood so soon. ”
Yuan Heping: "Chu Zai, of course we are friends!" He has been working hard, to be honest, I have worked with so many actors, it is really rare to see such a good talent and congenital conditions like him, his success is naturally achieved through hard work, of course I hope he can win the award and become the first Oscar Chinese actor. ”
Liu Dehua: "If Chu Zai finally wins the award, I won't be surprised at all, he has this strength, I have seen the movie "Octagon Cage", I feel very shocked, Chu Zai's performance is also impressive, everyone's impression of him in the past has always been to watch him keep fighting, keep doing some dangerous things, this time, he is really acting in a drama with his heart. ”
Feng Xiaogang: "He is a good actor, if he finally wins the award, he deserves it, I hope we will have the opportunity to work together in the future!" ”
As the idol of a new generation of young Americans, Zhang Chu also has a huge fan base in the United States.
Zhang Chu's fans don't care about cultural output, or anti-export, their idea is very simple, they just hope that their idols can get the honor they deserve.
Irving. Turner took advantage of the situation to add fuel to the fire, and now Zhang Chu's call for being crowned the actor is getting higher and higher.
At this time, even the Oscar jury felt inexplicable pressure.
Obviously, Zhang Chu was not in their consideration at the beginning, even if he was put on the shortlist, he was at best an escort.
They really don't want to see a Chinese make a big splash at a high-profile awards ceremony like the Oscars.
Long before the list of nominees was announced, the final result of the jury's discussion was that among the other four candidates, Zhang Chu's name was never mentioned by them.
But not now, the Oscars have always advertised fairness and justice, and the box office results of "Octagon Cage" will always be an unavoidable factor.
If "Octagon Cage", which ranked first in the North American box office list last year, is finally empty, it really can't be explained.
The six awards nominated for "Octagon Cage", regardless of the technical category, the best picture, best director, and best original screenplay will always be given to "Octagon Cage".
However, no matter which award is awarded to "Octagon Cage", Zhang Chu, the biggest hero of this movie, cannot be ignored.
It seems to be in a strange circle.
The honor of actor is given to Zhang Chu or not, it seems that he will be scolded.
If you don't give it, you will be scolded by Zhang Chu's fans, and if you give it, you will be scolded by the above.
Zhang Chu, as a party to the party, seems to be planning to stay out of the matter, go to the studio to film as usual every day, go back to the hotel to rest after work, and occasionally be photographed appearing in the Staples Center arena to watch the Lakers game.
In the face of the media's request for an interview, Zhang Chu chose to refuse.
The other candidates, after the announcement of the nomination list, have long begun to participate in the recording of various programs to increase their exposure.
In comparison, Zhang Chu feels a little too Buddhist.
Could it be that Zhang Chu didn't plan to fight at all?
"You are such a strange person, you can be so calm in the face of such a big temptation!"
On the set of "Angry Seas", during the break, Wen Ziren took the initiative to find Zhang Chu.
Wen Ziren, who was nominated for Best Director, was frequently interviewed by reporters during this time, but the most asked questions were about Zhang Chu.
Whether it is as Zhang Chu's partner or friend, Wen Ziren naturally supports Zhang Chu unconditionally.
But Zhang Chu didn't seem to care.
"What do you think I'm going to do?"
Zhang Chu leaned back in the chair and stretched out his arm for Wen Xiaorui to re-bandage his hand.
I think?
Is this something I should be worried about?
Even if he has to worry about it, Wen Ziren should worry about whether he can achieve a counterattack this time. Eastwood snatched the Oscar for Best Director.
"Don't you really have an idea of Oscar?"
That's the Oscars!
The ultimate temple for filmmakers around the world.
"Of course there is!"
"If there is, why do you still ......"
Zhang Chu smiled, raised his re-bandaged hand, and clenched his fist hard, which did not affect his sitting action.
"What else? Do you think I should waste my time on TV shows and increasing exposure, and this drama can be put aside for the time being? ”
Whoever said it, who said it, Lao Tzu fought hard with him.
What are you kidding, how can the filming work be stopped, which is more important, Wen Ziren can still tell the difference.
Belch......
Only then did Wen Ziren react, Zhang Chu was clearly hinting that he was nosy.
Get!
Kindness is still regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs.
"I'll add a set of prison scenes later."
After saying that, Wen Ziren left.
Zhang Chu was stunned for a long time, looked at Wen Ziren, and couldn't help but laugh angrily.
The grandson was clearly taking revenge.
The script says that in this prison, as long as the prisoners leave the cell, they must bend over when they walk, and when they stop, they can only squat on the ground.
It doesn't taste good!
Five minutes later, Zhang Chu squatted on the ground, looking at the BIG Show not far from him, he could only half-kneel, and his huge body made him unable to squat at all.
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the group actor who played the prison guard began to hold a water hose and spray water on the "prisoners" below, spraying and laughing at the same time.
If it weren't for watching the surveillance video on the prison of that aircraft carrier, it would be really hard for Zhang Chu to imagine that in modern society, there would be such a hellish place on earth.
After the filming of a scene, everyone was soaking wet.
Wen Ziren was looking at the screen on the monitor with a satisfied expression, still thinking about the surveillance video tape in his head.
It doesn't feel much different.
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.
The "prisoners" who were tossed and miserable, under the leadership of Zhang Chu, rioted collectively, directly lifted Wen Ziren and threw him on the ground, and then snatched the water pipe in the hands of the "prison guard" and sprayed him violently from all directions.
When the water ran out, Wen Ziren lay on the ground, as if he was dead, only his mouth kept opening and closing, proving that this person still had a breath.
"Call it a day!"
Zhang Chu threw down the hose and waved his hand at the group performers.
The crowd immediately erupted in an exaggerated burst of laughter, having been tossed for so long, finally taking revenge.
This feeling is just one word - cool!
On the way back to the hotel, Wen Xiaorui handed Zhang Chu a stack of newspapers, and without waiting for Zhang Chu to speak, she took the initiative to speak.
"The above is all an analysis of the attribution of this year's Oscar awards, Brother Chu, it seems that someone is deliberately cooling down."
Cooling?
Zhang Chu was stunned, and soon understood what Wen Xiaorui meant.
During this time, Warner has been building momentum for him, and it has obviously touched the sensitive nerves of some people.
These people don't want him to win the award, so they naturally want to cool down the situation that is getting worse.
"Who is the most promising winner in media analysis?"
"Clint. Eastwood, and ...... Johnny. Depp! ”
Hearing the answer, Zhang Chu couldn't help but laugh.
"Neither of them has a play!"
Zhang Jingchu on the side asked curiously, "Why?" ”
"It's a clear diversion."
It's just a little trick, launching two candidates to attract firepower.
"And who do you think is more hopeful?"
Zhang Chu opened the newspaper and pointed to a photo on it.
"He has more hope!"
Zhang Jingchu and Wen Xiaorui both looked over, and the photo showed a black man who was not good-looking.
"Jamie. Fox? Why him? ”
Why?
Zhang Chu watched several competitors' works during this time, and the one that impressed him the most was this Jamie. Fox.
If you have to ask why......
In addition to the other party's performance, it should be politically correct.
Now Zhang Chu has the highest call to win the Oscar, but there are many people who don't want him to win the best actor.
I want this matter to have the most perfect ending, so that all parties can accept it.
The best solution is to let Jamie. Fox wins.
First of all, he acted not badly, and secondly, as a black man, if he won the actor, even if some people were not convinced, he couldn't say anything.
Once you open your mouth, it is easy to be labeled as a racist.
In the United States, if a person is identified as a racist, that person is essentially a social death.
Doesn't that sound ridiculous?
It's just a film festival, and to determine the ownership of an award, it is necessary to refer to political factors.
