Chapter 594: Undisguised Disdain

"Damn political correctness!"

After a short period of stunned, Wen Ziren also understood the joints.

It is obviously a country with the most serious racial discrimination, but it still wants to hold high the banner of freedom and democracy, and all people are created equal.

There is quite a kind of absurdity of being a biaozi and setting up a memorial arch.

This phenomenon has been brought up countless times in the field of propaganda as a self-proclaimed version of the country.

For example, in Hollywood, black actors must occupy a certain proportion of any movie, and sometimes, even the appearance rate is strictly limited.

Note that it's not the upper limit, it's the lower one.

In other words, any production company in Hollywood has an obligation to provide work for black actors, regardless of whether there is a real need for black faces in a film.

Otherwise, they will be labeled as racist, and even when the film is submitted for review, it will be banned because there are not enough black actors.

For example, last year's epic film "Troy" produced by Warners, anyone who knows a little bit of history knows that this movie is about the war between the ancient Greek city-states.

At that time, where did the black people come from in ancient Greece, but because black actors were not used, Warner was also fined a huge amount of money by the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild.

Later, he was asked to rewrite the script and add some shots of black actors.

For this reason, Warner also started a lawsuit with the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild, although a series of evidence was produced to prove that in that ancient era, there were no blacks in ancient Greece.

But......

Political correctness!

Sometimes there is no reason at all.

In the end, there was really no way, Warner had to reconvene the crew, make up a few shots, and pay a fine at the same time before the film could be released.

and Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan", in the original script, the rescue team did not have the role of black soldiers.

But for the same reason, Spielberg had to rewrite the script and add a black soldier of Capazzo to it.

Everyone knows that during World War II, although there were also black people in the United States, they suffered from severe racial discrimination and were subject to a segregation policy, and it was absolutely impossible for black soldiers to carry out missions with white people.

This is still political correctness.

"Take it easy!"

Zhang Chu said with a smile, looking at his reaction, he felt that Wen Ziren was the one who needed to be comforted.

"Zhang, can you accept this result?"

What if Lao Tzu can't accept it?

And, to be expected.

Some people don't want a Chinese actor to be too prominent in the territory of the Americans, especially if the Chinese actor is still regarded as an idol by the current young Americans, so it will be even more suppressed.

If Zhang Chu is willing to move closer to the United States, the situation will naturally be different, but Zhang Chu is an extreme nationalist in their eyes, just look at the clothes he wore at the two award ceremonies.

Such a person will never be assimilated into American society, and his sense of national identity will never be shaken in the slightest because he is in the United States.

When the person himself is very strong, repression will follow.

Jamie. Fox was already on stage at the moment, holding the golden man in his hand, and was making his acceptance speech.

After reading a long list of thanks, Jamie. Fox abruptly mentioned four other candidates.

"Thanks also to Clint here. Eastwood, who is a very respected actor, and Johnny. Depp, he's always been my idol, Leonardo. DiCaprio, my family loves his performances very much, it's an honor to be alongside him, Zhang, for him, I just want to say ......"

As he said this, the microphone suddenly emitted a screeching sound, completely covering his voice.

Jamie. Fawkes was also stunned, and when the noise subsided, he wanted to continue, but a shrill voice also sounded.

Zhang Chu's position is very close to the stage, although I can't hear what he says, I can guess some by looking at his mouth shape.

"This guy is crazy!"

Wen Ziren looked at Zhang Chu with a frightened face, for fear that Zhang Chu would suddenly burst out in the next second, rush to the stage, and kill Jamie. Fawkes killed.

If Zhang Chu really moved this thought, Wen Ziren wouldn't be able to stop it at all.

"Let that idiot go down, let that idiot go down!"

The Oscars were broadcast live throughout the whole process, and in this situation, whether it was the director team in charge of the live broadcast or the organizer of the Oscars, they were all dumbfounded at the moment.

After reacting, the chairman of the jury immediately roared angrily to let today's host Chris . Locke came to power to stop it.

"Sir! Jamie is still giving a speech and I can't interrupt him! ”

Despite not being able to hear Jamie. Anyone can guess what Fox was saying.

"Listen, if you don't want to be banned by Hollywood, you'd better do what I say."

Just Chris. Locke provoked Zhang Chu with racist words, and many people were already dissatisfied.

Although they wanted to suppress Zhang Chu, they couldn't ignore Zhang Chu's influence and his powerful ability to absorb gold.

Some things can be done in private, but if they are put on the surface, no one can afford the consequences.

Chris. Locke wanted to say more, but in the face of the cold gaze of the chairman of the jury, he reluctantly stepped onto the stage and stopped Jamie. Fawkes muttered a few words over his shoulder, then took him away from the microphone.

The noise immediately went away, and Chris. As if nothing had happened, Locke attributed what had just happened to technical reasons.

"It's a pity, because of time, this is the end of Jamie's speech, let's look forward to the next time he wins the award, and then continue today's unfinished testimonials!"

Chris. Locke laughed, followed by a few jokes, and finally managed to get the matter done.

But Wen Ziren knew that this matter could not be passed, and he knew from Zhang Chu's expression that at the dinner after the award ceremony, someone would definitely be unlucky.

"Don't come nonsense, if something really happens, you'll get into big trouble!"

Zhang Ziyi also whispered.

Zhang Chu didn't respond, just looked at the stage expressionlessly.

Next up was the Best Original Screenplay, and this time "Octagon Cage" had the last laugh.

Wen Ziren took the stage as the first screenwriter and the crew representative to accept the award.

Although he is not the best director he wants the most, this is the first golden man in his life after all.

But soon, Wen Ziren ushered in disappointment again.

The Best Director trophy was awarded to Clint. Eastwood.

and Hillary. Swank, Clint. Eastwood also achieved a double harvest of the Golden Globe and Oscar.

There is the last and most important award left at the moment - Best Picture.

Wen Ziren's expression was also nervous. Turner didn't show up at the ceremony today, and if "Octagon" wins, he will be on stage.

"If our film wins, will you join me on stage?"

After Wen Ziren finished speaking, Zhang Ziyi was stunned for a moment, and then her face was full of anticipation.

She didn't get any nominations, but it would be an honor to be on stage as a representative of Best Film.

The most important thing is that she can be seen in front of the world, which is a rare opportunity for her.

But Zhang Chu didn't speak, and it was inconvenient for her to speak.

After all, Zhang Chu is the core of "Octagon Cage", if he doesn't go on stage, what's the matter if he goes up by himself.

She probably forgot that when she participated in the Berlin Film Festival with the crew of "My Father and Mother", she secretly followed Zhang Yimou and took the stage to receive the Jury Prize.

Zhang Ziyi looked at Zhang Chu expectantly, but Zhang Chu didn't seem to notice it at all, and he still looked expressionless.

The award presenter has already drawn the card from the envelope at this moment, and the final result will be announced.

Zhang Ziyi's attention also shifted to the stage.

"I was a little surprised by this result, but this work deserves this award, I personally like it, and it was ...... who won the best picture at the 77th Academy Awards."

"Octagon cage!"

it!

Wen Ziren jumped up, turned around and wanted to give Zhang Chu a hug, but found that Zhang Chu was sitting and didn't move.

"Zhang! We won, Best Picture, we're the biggest winner! ”

Because of his excitement, Wen Ziren was a little incoherent at the moment.

At this time, Zhang Chucai got up slowly, ignoring Wen Ziren, who was still jumping up and down, but looked at Zhang Ziyi.

"Together?"

Zhang Ziyi was stunned for a while, she didn't understand what Zhang Chu meant, and by the time she reacted, Zhang Chu had already walked towards the stage with Wen Ziren.

This bastard!

Wait a minute!

Zhang Ziyi hurriedly followed, how could this opportunity to be in the limelight be without her Zhang Ziyi.

Take to the stage from Chris. As Locke passed by, Zhang Chu raised the corners of his mouth and looked at him as if he was aiming at a dead man.

Chris. Locke suddenly felt a chill in his back, and he couldn't tell why for a while, his big mouth often offended people, and what he had just said, he might have forgotten it at the moment.

Wen Ziren, as the director, took over the little golden man from the award presenters, and then began to give a speech.

It's nothing more than some words of thanks, but in his acceptance speech, Zhang Chu was mentioned a little too often.

When Wen Ziren stepped back, Zhang Chu had to walk to the microphone under his repeated requests.

"Hopefully there won't be any more technical problems!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene burst into laughter. Locke was full of embarrassment.

Bullshit technical problem, just fortunately, the technical department of the director team reacted quickly and covered Jamie with noise. Fox would have become the laughing stock of the world if it hadn't been the Oscars with decades of history.

And at this moment, everyone is praying that Zhang Chu will not be rash.

"Thank you!"

Just one word, after finishing speaking, Zhang Chu took two steps back.

As at the time of the Golden Globe Awards, a "Mulberry died of thirst" was solved.

Looking at Zhang Chu's unconcerned expression, he directly engraved the words "disdain" on his face without disguise.

The dignified Oscar was actually despised.
