Chapter 348: Classic script, Oscar opening
Half an hour later, Chris finished watching Zhang Xiao's revised version of "Inception" and was completely dumbfounded.
Perfect!
So perfect~
Zhang Xiao's revised script is at least one level higher than before.
The plot is intricate and the settings are perfect. The dream settings are layered one after another, especially the ending where the top is still spinning. Chris was absolutely amazed.
Chris looked at Zhang Xiao who was playing on his mobile phone and said, "Zhang, your talent makes me feel extremely shocked."
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "It should be your script that gave me endless inspiration, and I was lucky enough to capture all these inspirations. Director Chris, I give this script 9.5 points. How about you?"
"Ten points!" Chris blurted out without thinking, and then said with excitement: "I can't find any loopholes or flaws, full marks, absolute full marks."
"Then when do you plan to start shooting?" Zhang Xiao asked.
Director Chris said: "I will start immediately after the Oscars. In fact, I have already determined the location of the movie and the special effects team has also practiced it."
"I believe the remaining work can be completed within a month."
"Great." Zhang Xiao said happily: "Director Chris, I would like to recommend an actor to you."
Chris was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Who?"
Zhang Xiao raised his finger and pointed at Yang Mi and said: "She, I am Asian, it is best to find an Asian woman in the movie to be my wife, and my wife is undoubtedly the most suitable."
Chris looked at Yang Mi carefully and said, "Zhang, there are no problems with Miss Yang's conditions in all aspects, but the key is her acting skills."
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Wait a moment, I will send you a movie, you can see her performance in it."
Chris admired Zhang Xiao's talent and person very much, so he would try his best to help Zhang Xiao with anything he raised.
Otherwise, he would definitely not let anyone recommend actors casually. After all, the current script of "Inception" is too perfect.
So he nodded and said: "As long as there is no problem with the acting skills, then it's OK, Zhang, are there any other actors you would like to recommend?"
For the script of this movie, Chris just made a rough sketch like building a house, while Zhang Xiao was the one who turned the house into a work of art. He knew the character settings of the antagonists and so on very well.
"No more!" Zhang Xiao shook his head and said, "You still have the final say on everything about the crew."
"Happy cooperation!" Chris said, extending his hand.
“A pleasure to work with.”

The next night, the Oscar Awards ceremony was held as scheduled.
As the biggest favorites for this year's Oscars, Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi were arranged to walk on the red carpet on the third to last spot.
Different from last time, when Zhang Xiao walked on the red carpet, the fans on both sides immediately went crazy.
"Truman, I wish you good morning, good afternoon, and good night..."
"Truman, I wish you good morning, good afternoon, and good night..."
“···”
Countless fans shouted classic lines from the movie in unison, and the atmosphere was heated to the extreme.
Zhang Xiao looked back and kept thanking him.
A fan asked in surprise: "Hey, brother, do you know who the beautiful lady standing next to Truman is? I think I saw her last time."
"Brother, you have to believe your eyes. This is Zhang's wife, and she is also a big star in China."
“···”
After walking on the red carpet, Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi wrote their names in Chinese characters on the signature wall, then walked into the hall and sat in their seats.
At eight o'clock sharp, the Oscar Awards ceremony begins on time.
The host Al is a very famous talk show host. He has clear thinking and humor. He can make the audience burst into laughter without saying a word.
In just two minutes, he used humorous language to ridicule several nominated actors, and finally it was Zhang Xiao's turn.
Al looked at Zhang Xiao and said: "Last year, I was most impressed by the imaginative movie "The Truman Show."
"This movie is classified as a comedy, but I don't think so. I think it should be a thriller."
"Because I was scared by The Truman World. Oh my God, everything in my life is actually fake."
"If I were Truman, when I knew what I really wanted, I might go completely crazy."
"After watching "The Truman Show", I became a super fan of Zhang and discovered that he is actually a powerful kung fu master."
"Zhang, can you go on stage to perform Chinese Kung Fu tonight?"
Zhang Xiao took the microphone from a staff member and said with a smile: "Performing kung fu requires an opponent. If Mr. Al is willing to be my opponent, I will definitely not shirk it."
Al quickly shook his head and said: "Forget it then, I still want to live a few more years!"
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha~"
The scene immediately erupted into bursts of laughter.
Soon, the Oscar ceremony entered the awards ceremony, and the atmosphere at the scene became tense.
Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design and other awards were accepted one by one. Unfortunately, "The Truman Show" failed to win the Best Screenplay Award.
Yang Mi patted the back of Zhang Xiao's hand and said: "Honey, don't be nervous, the big prizes are all behind you.
Zhang Xiao felt that Yang Mi's little hands were cold, so he immediately covered them with both hands and said with a smile: "Honey, I think you are the most nervous. Even your hands are cold. Relax, this is just a small scene."
Yang Mi nodded and said, "Well, I'll try my best!"
After the Best Screenplay award, the second award for "The Truman Show" was the Best Supporting Actor award. When the award presenter called out the name of the winner, Harris, the middle-aged man who has been nominated for the most Best Supporting Actor awards, he
They couldn't help crying.
That's right, the winner of this year's Oscar for Best Supporting Actor is Harris.
Zhang Xiao stood up and hugged Harris tightly.
"Thank you, Director Zhang, thank you!"
Harris said with tears streaming down his face.
Zhang Xiao smiled and comforted: "Mr. Harris, you earned this."
After walking up to the podium, Harris took the trophy, kissed her deeply, and said, "I remember very clearly that on the first day of filming for "The Truman Show," Director Zhang announced to the crew that the film would be
The goal is an Oscar."
"At the time I was a little disapproving, thinking how could this be possible?"
"Later, Director Zhang used his perfect acting skills to convince me that maybe this was really possible, and now it has finally become a reality.
"Thank you to Director Zhang for choosing me among thousands of actors in Hollywood to star in his movie. This allowed me to win this coveted Oscar trophy."
Chapter completed!
