As the creator of the global box office champion, Zhang Xiao is definitely the dream partner of all actors.

Not to mention the classic movies such as "The Truman Show", "Interstellar", "Source Code", and "Frozen" that he directed and starred in, his status as a shareholder of Disney alone is enough to make many actors want to work with him

Get in touch.

···

Zhang Xiao was nominated for a total of four awards at this Oscar, the last one being Best Director.

Whether it was "Source Code" or "Frozen", the content was obviously not enough, so Zhang Xiao failed without any surprise.

But soon, something extremely surprising happened.

Cheng Long, who has never been nominated for an Oscar, actually won the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Not only Zhang Xiao, but also Cheng Long himself was a little confused when he heard the news.

After being stunned at his position for a long time, he stood up, thanked the congratulators around him, and then walked onto the podium with a smile.

No matter what the reason was, Zhang Xiao was naturally very happy to see a Chinese actor win the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award.

When Cheng Long walked over, Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi stood up at the same time and hugged him.

After Cheng Long gave his acceptance speech, the entire Oscar ceremony was over.

The news that Zhang Xiao won two Oscars and Cheng Long won the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement soon spread back to China.

Netizens who had been waiting for the news immediately became excited.

"Getting an Oscar is as easy as eating and drinking. This is Xiao Shen."

"In less than three years, Xiao Shen may win all the Oscars except for the Actress Award."

"It's normal for Xiao Shen to win awards. What surprises me is that Brother Cheng Long actually won the Lifetime Achievement Award."

"I'm also wondering, can anyone explain it a little bit?"

"I guess this is the Oscar organizing committee showing goodwill to China. There is no other way. Who made China the second largest ticket bank in the world?"

"You guys upstairs, stop talking nonsense! Xiao Shen has won so many Oscars, and they still need to give him a Lifetime Achievement Award to show off?"

"Xiao Shen relies on his own strength, it's not a show of kindness!"

"In any case, it is a good thing that Brother Cheng Long received the Lifetime Achievement Award and deserves congratulations."

"That's right, that's right. Congratulations to Xiao Shen and congratulations to Brother Cheng Long."

“···”

After the Oscar awards ceremony, Zhang Xiao accepted interviews with reporters as the winner.

"Mr. Zhang, are you disappointed that you didn't win the Oscar for Best Director?"

"No, this is all what I expected. It would be weird if I won the award!"

"Mr. Zhang, when you gave your acceptance speech, you said that your next movie will be "Forrest Gump". The name sounds like it is a literary film. Are you doing it to compete for next year's Oscar?"

"'Forrest Gump' is a liar that combines business and literature. Whether it's box office or Oscar, I want both."

"Mr. Zhang, do you think the box office of this film can surpass "Interstellar"?"

"Friend, you really know how to joke. The production cost of my "Forrest Gump" was less than 100 million U.S. dollars, and you made it have a box office of more than 3.6 billion U.S. dollars. Do you think it's possible?"

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think about Cheng Long receiving the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award?"

"Of course I'm happy for him!"

Gu Si

"But Mr. Cheng Long has never been nominated for an Oscar. Don't you think he deserves it?"

When Zhang Xiao heard this question, he shook his head and said: "What you said is too narrow-minded. The Lifetime Achievement Award should not be measured by whether it is nominated for an Oscar."

"Before I was born, Brother Cheng Long had already started filming action movies. Some of his dangerous moves, I dare say no actor in the world would dare to do. This is really risking his life."

"We actors always say that we are feasting with our lives, but in my opinion, those who truly feast with our lives are action actors like Brother Cheng Long. As long as you don't pay attention to one shot, your life may really be gone." Already."

"You are right. Brother Cheng Long has indeed never been nominated for an Oscar, but the biggest reason is not because he is not qualified, but because he is restricted by the Oscar's subject matter."

"For an actor who dares to risk his life in pursuit of film quality, I think it's not that he doesn't deserve this award, but that this award is simply not enough to prove his excellence."

What Zhang Xiao didn't know was that when he said these words, Cheng Long happened to be not far behind him, and he could hear clearly what he just said.

At this moment, Cheng Long was filled with gratitude.

He knew very well that after Zhang Xiao's words just now, the outside world's doubts about him would be much smaller. Zhang Xiao had done him a big favor.

After the interview, Zhang Xiao went to attend the Oscar dinner.

As soon as I entered, I was surrounded by many actors.

Without exception, they all came to him to get the opportunity to audition for Forrest Gump.

Zhang Xiao collected all the photos and before he knew it, he already had more than 20 business cards in his hand.

At this time, Yang Mi came over, held his arm, and said: "Husband, it seems that there are many actors who want to participate in your movie. What are you going to do?"

"Cast a wide net and select carefully." Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "No matter who comes to join in the fun, I agree that when the time comes, let them compete and whoever performs the best will be on."

Yang Mi leaned into his ear and whispered, "Aren't you afraid that people won't want to act after reading your script?"

Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes angrily and said, "Come on, you think they are all as blind as you!"

Yang Mi snorted and said, "Then we'll see."

After attending the dinner, Zhang Xiao returned to the hotel and gave Chen Li the list of auditions for Forrest Gump and the first half of the script, asking her to send them to these interested actors.

The next day, Leonardo DiCaprio received an audition invitation and half of the script for "Forrest Gump" and couldn't wait to read it.

After more than ten minutes, Xiao Lizi put down the script, with a determined light shining in his eyes.

At this time his agent asked: "Leonardo, what do you think of this script?"

Leonardo took a deep breath and said, "I smell Oscar."

The agent was stunned at first, and then asked in disbelief: "Is it really that good?"

Leonardo said with excitement: "This Forrest Gump is an imbecile, but he has perseverance, loyalty, perseverance, kindness, and almost all the moral qualities that the Lighthouse Kingdom has."

"I bet that as long as there are no problems behind the script, this film will detonate the whole world."

"Genius, Mr. Zhang is really a great genius. It's really hard for me to believe how a Chinese can have such a deep understanding of the culture of the Lighthouse Country."

The agent asked tentatively: "Can you show me the script?"

Leonardo shook his head and said: "No, Terry, we don't have time. You have to follow me to find Mr. Zhang now. I want to see the entire script."

The agent smiled bitterly and said: "The question is, will Mr. Zhang give it to us?"

Leonardo pursed his lips and said, "How will you know if you don't try?"
