Chapter 1275 The Possibility of Winning the Movie King (1)
Seeing the big director Spielberg walking towards him in a daze, Yang Cheng secretly lamented his good luck. Who would have thought that he would turn around halfway to talk to a few strangers, and Yang Cheng knew this I think too much.
"Aren't you going?" Little Li touched his shoulder.
"No hurry, there is plenty of time, how are you doing?"
Lizi took a sip from his wine glass, as usual, "You know, the Oscars are about to start, and I've been busy with public relations recently, so this is the closest I can get to winning."
Yang Cheng almost forgot about it. This year is the most important year for Xiao Lizi. The masters of the college have suppressed him for 20 years, and finally, finally made him dream of it.
Of course, he still can't say that he is sure to win the award, at most he will give support verbally, "No problem, I have seen this year's nomination list, and none of them are the opponents of "The Revenant". When the market comes out, I will buy 5 million support you~"
Xiao Lizi laughed, "Thank you brother, but you know my status in the hearts of those in the academy. Accidents may happen at any time, so don't waste money on me."
Yang Cheng shook his head, "Actually, this year's awards season has already begun. How many awards did "The Revenant" win?"
"I can't count myself~"
"So, the wind direction is so positive, you should have confidence in yourself~"
"But the Academy has always liked to play against mainstream voices to reflect their unique tastes."
Kate interjected, "Jason is right, no matter what, you have to maintain confidence until the result comes out. Besides, in the BAFTA a while ago, "The Revenant" became a big winner again, with five trophies in the bag, and you got it as you wished Get off the film king crown.
I still remember you talking and laughing with director Alejandro Gonzalez at the awards ceremony, and posing in the background for a photo with the masked trophy, your expression was so relaxed, why are you so nervous now? "
BAFTA, commonly known as the "British Oscars", is definitely not comparable to the American Oscars, but in the Western world, it is still considered a mainstream award. To a certain extent, it represents the recognition of Xiao Li's acting skills at the European Academy Party .
Xiao Lizi tilted his head and smiled, "You're right, why should I be nervous? I've already won an award this year and got soft."
Yang Cheng patted him on the shoulder, whether Xiao Lizi can get the little golden man, that is a major event that affects movie fans all over the world, like an old girl raised by her family, who has been waiting in her boudoir for a long time without getting married, with all kinds of charming styles, just Waiting for the sweetheart to come to your door quickly, but every year there is nothing to be happy about.
But this time is different, a happy marriage is close at hand, and the distance between Xiao Lizi and Xiao Jinren has never been so close. We are waiting for the final answer to be revealed at the feast of the global film industry.
Of course, no matter how confident people are, they are not as sure as Yang Cheng, and this year's little golden man will definitely not be left behind.
Taking a step back, even if Yang Cheng has no memory of his previous life, he can say with certainty that Leonardo DiCaprio's name will be engraved on this statuette just by analyzing the situation in front of him.
This is not blind favoritism, but well-founded, unless God, the old man, wants to play a prank on him.
In fact, the awards season before the Oscars every year is the wind vane of the Oscars. Experienced players can completely calculate the market, and this year's results all point to Xiaoli.
One of the Oscar outposts, the winner of the Golden Globe Award, is already in Xiao Lizi's pocket, and the SAG American Screen Actors Guild Award also won the best actor, which is enough for him to take a reassurance. The fastest updated Qiqi novel
The Golden Globes are judged by the Foreign Press Association, while the Screen Actors Guild Awards are judged by insiders, one is an outsider, and the other is a practitioner in the industry.
The Golden Globe awards are complex, covering film and television, and the performance awards are divided into two categories: comedy and drama. The entertainment component is more important, but the reputation is large enough to largely represent the tastes of the masses;
And the jury members of the Screen Actors Guild Awards are mostly Hollywood veteran actors.
Their annual selection is not to earn ratings, they are professional and tricky, and many of the Screen Actors Union members are originally Oscar judges. The fastest updated Qiqi novel
It can be said that if the results of the Screen Actors Guild Awards are used to predict the Oscars, they will definitely be close to each other in the end.
A set of data can be seen, from Jamie Foxx in 2005 to Eddie Redmayne in 2015, in the past eleven years, the coincidence rate of the Best Actor of the Screen Actors Guild Award and the Oscar winner is 100%, and there has never been a mistake However, what is this concept?
You must know that Eddie Redmayne, the actor of "The Theory of Everything" and Michael Keaton, the actor of "Birdman", played well in the awards season last year. The trade union award still chose the small freckles, and finally proved that he had the same vision as the Oscar judges.
And this year, Xiao Lizi has almost been the best in the awards season, without encountering any obstacles, and has never lost the best actor trophy in several of the most critical and important awards ceremonies. It is self-evident how high the winning rate is.
Yang Cheng expressed her own analysis, both Xiao Lizi and Kate relaxed their smiles, the kind of truly relaxed smiles.
"And you can't ignore a problem. Before "The Revenant", Leon, you have been nominated for Oscar winner three times and Golden Globe winner twice, but you have never won the Screen Actors Guild Award. This year, SAG is willing to give You are sure, which shows how outstanding your performance is this time, and it also proves from the side that the reason for your high call for winning this time is not because you have competed too many times in the Olympics and accumulated a lot of sympathy points.
To be honest, although your bitterness index for the Olympic Games is higher, the content of netizens’ jokes is even greater. There are many actors who have been nominated repeatedly. Oscar will not sympathize with you because of this. You have really made a breakthrough .
Also, the Oscars are not what they used to be, and the ratings have been declining year after year. The Academy must do something to reawaken people's enthusiasm for the Oscars. You are a good gimmick.
In other words, no matter in terms of probability, reason, or the interference of various external factors, you will win this time. "
As he talked, Yang Cheng still couldn't help being a prophet. Although his reasons were very good and his analysis was very reasonable, including Xiao Li and Kate, two people in the industry were bluffed, but he was so sure that Xiao Li Li Zi can win the award, even if this is a good expectation, it is too much. . .
Xiao Lizi shook his head and sighed. He really had too much hope in the past, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Every time the feeling of missing out makes him want to die. Only young models can relieve his inner anxiety.
"I'm also optimistic that you can successfully win the statuette, Leon~"
At this time, the famous black super giant Will Smith walked over with his wife and son, and suddenly said.
"Hey, Will, good evening, and Mrs. Smith, little Jaden~"
"I'm not young anymore~" Jaden Smith complained helplessly as he spread his hands with dreadlocks.
After making everyone laugh, Will Smith said to his wife, "Honey, why don't you take Jaden to something to eat? Shall I talk to Leon?"
In front of outsiders, Mrs. and Mrs. Smith still maintain the mask of imitating husband and wife, but they have fallen out long ago in private, and everyone in the circle knows about this matter.
"OK, then drink less and see you gentlemen later~"
"Goodbye, Mrs. Smith~"
Jada Smith took his son to meet acquaintances to say hello, Will Smith was finally relieved, took a glass of champagne and took a sip and laughed at himself, "This kind of marriage is really tiring~"
Yang Cheng and Will Smith are nodding acquaintances. After all, they both live in Los Angeles, and they will always meet on some occasion.
Xiao Lizi was quite interesting, and took the initiative to bring the topic back to himself, "Don't talk about Will, you just said that you are also optimistic about me taking down the statuette? Can you tell me the reason?"
Will showed his signature smile, "Of course, you guys know Goldderby, right? It's a website that specializes in award predictions.
They will give the opinions of "experts", "editors" and "users" for each award. According to the situation of the awards season, these predictions change every day. However, starting from the Oscar nominations, the opinions of these three parties are combined to give a prediction Conclusion, and this year, the results given by the three parties are completely consistent, and everything points to your name, Leon.
Even if this website has more gimmicks, last month the "Hollywood Reporter" also revealed that British bookmakers have opened, one of which was to bet that Leon would not be able to win the actor's handicap, and the odds at that time were already 1 Lose 8-1 and lose 12. Anyway, I bought Leon and you can get the statuette. "
Yang Cheng was surprised and teased, "Will, you acted really fast. I just said that I would buy 5 million Leons and win in the end."
Will shook his head and sighed, "I only bought 500,000 yuan to play with and earn some pocket money by the way. Whether little Jaden can own his first car as soon as possible depends on you, Leon!"
Xiao Lizi shook his head crazily, "Oh my God, don't force me, why don't I pay him for a car~"
"Haha, that's not okay, this car has to make sense."
No matter what, the two consecutively said that Xiao Lizi could win the award, which gave him a lot of confidence. Speaking of which, this year is considered to be the right time, place and people at the same time. If he can't win the award again, Xiao Lizi will really despair.
Of course, from a rational point of view, nothing can be said to be fatal. Oscar may be upset, but the condition for upset is to need a very strong competitor, an opponent who can convince all the judges and audience, but Not this year.
Looking at the nominees for Best Actor this year, there are those who are capable and upright with Xiao Li-Michael Fassbender in "Steve Jobs", Eddie Redmayne in "The Danish Girl", and Trump Bryan Cranston.
None of these three people could fight Xiao Lizi head-on for a few rounds.
