Chapter 457: The left hand hits the right hand, the awards ceremony begins
If there had been an opportunity to participate in the Oscars in the past, Reba would definitely not miss it, but now she has already participated, and she is also the vice president of Qingtian Entertainment. It is the highest-level task in the entertainment industry, and there is no need to use it at all.
This is a way to increase your exposure.
Therefore, when Zhang Xiao asked her if she wanted to participate in the Oscars, Reba refused without hesitation.
Outside the airport, Fang Tong took everyone to an extended Lincoln car, with Zhang Xiao sitting inside.
As soon as he got in the car, Deng Cao sat next to Zhang Xiao and asked: "Director Zhang, I heard that your new drama has hired the beautiful Hollywood actress Hathaway as the heroine?"
When he asked, everyone turned their attention to Zhang Xiao, especially Reba.
Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, Hathaway fits the role of a heroine very well, and her acting skills are also good. She should be able to win this role."
Reba asked suspiciously: "Brother-in-law, did you really choose her because of her acting skills?"
Zhang Xiao raised his hand and put a roasted chestnut on Reba's head, saying: "You little girl, what do you think about all day? Everyone has a boyfriend."
"Moreover, when she met me for the first time, she even mentioned that there should be no sex scenes, which made me dumbfounded at the time, as if I wanted to take advantage of her."
Reba snorted and said: "That's pretty much it. Brother-in-law, if you dare to find a woman in Hollywood, I will tell my sister and ask her to take care of your son."
Zhang Xiao's eyes widened and he said, "Do you want to be so cruel?"
"Besides, I can't find it in China, let alone in Hollywood."
Zhou Xun said: "Reba, your sister-in-law is so competent at what she does!"
Deng Cao also echoed: "Yes, you are so qualified. By the way, Director Zhang, you'd better tell us quickly, is there anything we need to pay attention to when attending the Oscars ceremony?"
Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "It is similar to our domestic award ceremony. The only thing you need to pay attention to is your words and deeds. In Hollywood, we represent the Chinese entertainment industry. We must not do anything extraordinary just to get more shots.
things."
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Zhang Xiao looked at Liu Haiquan, who had been silent, and said, "Brother Liu, are you ready to give your acceptance speech?"
Liu Haiquan clenched his fists and nodded: "Ready."
The girl in question, Reba, asked again: "Brother-in-law, what are the chances that our "Interstellar" will win the Best Visual Effects Award?"
Zhang Xiao said: "Fifty percent, the only ones capable of competing for this award are us and "Inception."
Zhou Xun smiled and said, "They are all your movies."
Zhang Xiao shrugged and said, "There's no way. Chris is my biggest opponent at this year's Oscars."
Zhou Xun added: "'Inception' is a movie that you invested in and starred in, and 'Across the Stars' is a movie that you wrote, directed, and acted in. What the Internet says is right, you are playing with your left hand and your right hand."
Zhang Xiao said: "But relatively speaking, I still hope that "Interstellar" will win. After all, this is our real domestic film."
Everyone nodded again.
Two days later, the Oscar Awards Ceremony officially began.
Outside the Kodak Theater, the lights were bright, and a two-hundred-meter-long red carpet was laid directly from the entrance to the intersection.
Countless movie fans stood on both sides, holding various light sticks and billboards in their hands, swaying non-stop, crying, screaming, and applauding.
The reporters were even more alert, and the cameras kept clicking.
An extended Lincoln appeared in front of everyone. Zhang Xiao got out of the car first, followed by Zhou Xun, Duan Hong, Zhang Yi, Deng Cao and Liu Haiquan.
This time they walked the red carpet together as a whole crew.
"Wow, this is the crew of "Interstellar"!"
"Bruce Zhang, I love you."
"My Mr. Clown is here."
"Kung Fu Zhang, come on, you are the best."
“···”
Zhang Xiao kept waving to the fans, and every time he waved, he could cause a roaring tsunami.
Seeing that Zhang Xiao had so many fans even abroad, Deng Cao and others felt envious.
After walking the red carpet, everyone signed their names on the sign-in wall, and the host stopped Zhang Xiao alone.
"Mr. Zhang, "Interstellar" and "Inception" are both favorites for this year's Oscars. As an investor and starring actor in these two films, who do you hope will win?"
"No matter which one of the two movies wins, I'm very happy."
"What about best director?"
"Chris is still recognized globally as one of the top ten directors in Hollywood, and I am nothing. I will continue to prove myself with an Oscar, so I very much hope that I can win an Oscar for Best Director."
"Then good luck to you."
"Thanks!"
After entering the Kodak Cinema, Zhang Xiao sat with the crew members of "Interstellar".
Maybe it was intentional by the organizers, but Chris happened to be next to him.
After a while, Chris and the actors from the "Inception" crew walked in.
Zhang Xiao stood up and hugged them, and then said to Chris: "I feel like I did something wrong and I shouldn't have let "Interstellar" be screened so early."
Chris smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, Bruce Zhang, we don't need the Oscar to prove anything anymore."
Zhang Xiao said helplessly: "That's you, not me. I really need a Best Director Award."
Chris said: "For this award, I guess you have an 80% chance."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously: "Why?"
Chris said with a mysterious face: "It came from my strong premonition."
Zhang Xiao simply rolled his eyes and said: "Men's premonitions are never very accurate."
"Hahaha!" Chris laughed.
Soon, this year's Oscars ceremony will begin.
The first award is for best screenplay. Both "Interstellar" and "Inception" were nominated, but the latter won this award.
When Chris gave his acceptance speech, he said: "Actually, the script of "Inception" was not written by me alone. Many of the storylines and dream settings were completed by Bruce Zhang."
"I want to say that he is a genius in the world of screenwriting. He filled in all the holes in the script of "Inception" in just two hours."
"This award is half that of Bruce Zhang."
When Zhang Xiao heard this, he immediately shouted: "Then give me this award."
Chris on the stage didn't even think about it and said: "Dreaming."
"Hahaha!"
There was a burst of laughter.
The best screenplay seems to be just the beginning. The following best photography and best sound effects synthesis were all won by "Inception".
It has to be said that today's Oscar ceremony has almost become a duel between "Inception" and "Interstellar". Other movies pose no threat to these two movies in terms of reputation or influence.
When it came time for the Best Visual Effects Award, I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the organizing committee gave the task of awarding the award to Zhang Xiao and Chris.
Chapter completed!
