Chapter 450: The Oddity at the Oscars

As soon as the Spring Festival was over, Sun Honglei could not wait to join the Beijing Special Police Team and began his training experience.

Liu Ye became popular throughout Asia because of "Ghost Blowing the Light: The Ancient City of Jingjue", which made Sun Honglei very jealous, and his expectations for "Operation Mekong" were raised again.

Although this is a purely domestic main theme movie, it is impossible to have any good results in the foreign market like "Youth Yi" or "Ghost Blowing the Light", but this is Shanhe's project, and he is best at creating all kinds of impossibilities.

Since Sun Honglei read the script modified by Shanhe, he was like being injected with adrenaline. This is the most awesome movie script he has ever seen. From the characters to the plot, to the description of various big scenes, he seemed to see himself shining in the movie.

The box office of this play will definitely not be low!

He wished that the movie would start shooting immediately, and he would now become the omnipotent special police captain Gao Gang!

The daily physical training of the special police team gave Sun Honglei a big blow. He was vomited the next day. After all, the script is a script, and it is too different from reality.

A week later, Shanhe brought Liu Ye and several other actors to join the SWAT team and began the experience training phase.

In the next month or so, the actors will start with physical training and receive full military training, including the use of firearms, mastering tactical commands, and simulated combat training.

Liu Ye has more tasks. He must also contact and observe drug users under the arrangement of Zhou Luyao, and even receive some special training for undercover police.

Director Shanhe also participated in the training, but he did not participate in many projects. He focused on observation. He hoped to learn more about the daily life of the SWAT team and try to integrate this reality into the movie.

Shanhe had too many trivial matters. It was impossible for him to experience and train in the SWAT team as peacefully as the actors.

The preparations for "Operation Mekong", his wife's pregnancy at home, and his young son all required him to take care of them. In addition, there was an Oscars ceremony that required the couple to go through the motions.

At the end of February, in the envious eyes of Liu Ye and Sun Honglei, who were embarrassed by Zhou Luyao's training, Shanhe embarked on the Oscars journey after two years.

The lucky Tang Xiaoyu also went to the United States with Shanhe and his wife.

After experiencing the baptism of the Venice Film Festival and the Golden Globe Awards, Tang Xiaoyu has matured a lot. The media's flattery, the spotlight's attention, and the envious eyes around him once made him feel at a loss.

But his mother's admonition and Shanhe's example made him sober up from his arrogance again.

He kept telling himself that his success was just due to luck, and temporary success could not represent future success. To be truly respected by his peers and supported by the public like Shanhe, he needed more learning and hard work.

Perhaps it was because of this sobriety and self-control beyond his age that the young Tang Xiaoyu had a unique temperament different from his peers, with a little calmness in his vigor and a bit of firmness hidden in his confidence.

Shanhe looked at the boy who was growing up day by day, and was extremely satisfied with the male lead of the movie he personally selected.

"Xiaoyu, how are you doing recently? Do you feel tired?"

"Not bad! Sister Yangliu didn't help me get too many endorsements. I have been taking extra classes recently. I will be a senior in high school next year. I plan to apply for the directing department of the Film Academy. I will be a director like you in the future!"

"Haha..."

Shanhe responded with a big laugh,

"I support you. You are more talented than me. You can be the director, screenwriter and actor. But if you want to achieve this goal, you still have to work hard. Being a director is not that easy!"

"I will!"

Tang Xiaoyu clenched his fist towards Shanhe vigorously,

"They all say that I have a trump card in my hand, and I am destined to be extraordinary. I will not let you down!"

"I am looking forward to your future!"

Shanhe patted Tang Xiaoyu poured him a glass of water.

"Xiaoyu, don't have too high expectations for this Oscar trip. Your chances of winning are almost zero. Just go there to broaden your horizons and go through the motions!"

"I understand, Brother Shanhe. I grew up in Los Angeles. The discrimination and prejudice against Chinese people in the United States can be seen everywhere. One day, I will be like you and make them willingly give me awards!"

"You have ambition!"

Hathaway, who was standing by, also had a good impression of the boy.

"Fisher, come to our house more often in the future and take care of your brother Bernier. He is getting more and more naughty now. We are all a little headache!"

"Hehe... I know, sister-in-law!"

...

After the "Little Flying Bear" arrived at the Los Angeles airport, the arrival of Shanhe and his wife and Tang Xiaoyu could not be concealed by the powerful paparazzi in Hollywood. The three of them were soon surrounded by a large group of reporters at the airport gate.

The three of them are the biggest topic and hot spot of this Oscar.

Shanhe missed two consecutive Oscars. When everyone thought he would miss the third time, he unexpectedly came, and brought his wife who was just pregnant.

Hathaway is also the most popular actress this year. She set off a wave of feminism in Europe and the United States with an interview, which has not subsided yet. She is the biggest Hollywood feminist spokesperson.

Tang Xiaoyu is also a hot chicken. He just won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor at the Golden Globe Awards. At a young age, he was recognized by the two major European and American film festivals. A movie "Young Easy" made him famous all over the world and became the world's most famous teenage superstar. His popularity among European and American teenagers cannot be underestimated!

Reporters flooded them with questions of all kinds.

"Qiu, have you reconciled with the Academy? What guarantees did they give you to let you return to the Oscars?"

"Qiu, if "Yi Yi" is deliberately suppressed by the Academy again like last year's "Joker", will you say goodbye to the Oscars completely?"

…

"Annie, Bruckheimer said that you have booked the Oscar for next year's Best Actress Oscar. What do you think of this?"

"Annie, the wave of feminism you started is still going on. What suggestions do you, the protesters, have?"

…

"Fisher, how confident are you about winning an Oscar? Will you return to Hollywood in the future?"

"Don, you have turned down almost all invitations to major Hollywood productions. Can you tell me what you think?"

…

"There is no conflict or guarantee between me and the Academy. It is the Academy's right to award the award. I respect their choice. The Academy invited me and I came. It's as simple as that!"

Shanhe responded to the reporter and protected his wife from speaking.

Hathaway plays the role of a concubine and doesn't talk as loudly as usual.

"I did not instigate the feminist marches. The reason American women took to the streets to protest was discrimination and injustice. We are not protesting for the sake of protesting. We want to see change! As for who will be awarded the statuette next year, that is God's work, Jerry His words only represent himself, thank you for his expectation and recognition! ”

Tang Xiaoyu’s answer was simpler,

"I'm still young and need to calm down and study. Being nominated is just a temporary luck. I have no intention of Oscar!"

The three were able to get away from reporters and get into the car under the protection of airport and Disney staff.

The arrival of the Shanhe couple became the biggest entertainment gossip in Hollywood the next day. Various entertainment media put them on the headlines. The various grievances between the Shanhe couple and the Oscar Academy were widely reported by reporters.

Whether Hua Xia Qiu and "The Young and the Restless" can sweep the Oscars, and whether the Academy will let Hua Xia go home empty-handed again, has immediately become a hot topic among people around the world.

The popularity of the Oscars ceremony has suddenly increased a lot.

This made the Oscars broadcasters and the old men and women of the Academy finally put aside their worries.

Unlike the media and broadcasters who welcomed Shan He, the Oscar Academy judges had very mixed feelings about Shan He.

They have always regarded themselves as the creators of global film standards, setting a set of rules for Hollywood and even global films. Filmmakers around the world are proud to participate in the Oscars, and even win the Oscar statuette, the highest honor.

But there happened to be a Chinese Qiu. He broke their rules again and again. A Chinese man could actually run invincibly in Hollywood. The most important thing was that suppression had no effect on him. They had to admit that this alien achievements.

But he still shows disdain for the Oscar. He was absent when he won the award and was still absent after winning the award. The entire Oscar Academy was helpless towards this Chinese talent.

In order to maintain the global influence of the Oscar Academy, they need to lower their stature to accommodate this outlier, and even make guarantees to him in advance. This is really a bit frustrating for the arrogant Oscar Academy!

Alas, something must have gone wrong with God. Why isn't Qiu from M country?

Shanhe didn't care what the old-timers at the Oscar Academy thought. He came to the Oscars ceremony just to go through the motions and give the Academy some face. After all, his movie needs the North American market, and he also needs to fulfill his promise to his wife.

As for whether "Young Boys" will win or how much it will win, he really has no sense of expectation.

As usual at the Oscars, Shanhe and Hathaway walked the red carpet amidst cheers. After being interviewed by the host, they did not stay in the square to take photos like other guests and prepared to go directly to the venue. wait.

But a familiar and familiar Chinese call stopped them in their tracks.

"Shanhe, Annie, wait, we are the hosts of CCTV's Sixth Series of "World Movie Journey"!"

Shanhe looked back and saw that it was really a CCTV camera crew. Naturally, he couldn't refuse the interview from his family. He and Hathaway walked towards the CCTV camera crew.

"The Sixth Princess even broadcast the red carpet ceremony this time?"

"Yes, in response to the strong demand of domestic audiences, our six sets will broadcast the entire Oscar event live this time!"

Shanhe laughed and complained casually:

"Really? This red carpet ceremony is messy and not as interesting as the fair in our hometown. What's so good about it!"

"Shanhe, our live broadcast has started!"

"ah!"

Shanhe reacted to Hathaway's laughter and waved to the camera with a slight embarrassment.

"Hello, all domestic audience friends!"

At this time, there were many viewers watching the live broadcast in China. Shanhe's unintentional complaints and awkward greetings made the people in front of the TV burst into laughter.

On the TV, Hathaway covered her mouth and finished laughing, then helped her husband finish the conversation.

"Hello everyone, in fact, the Oscars ceremony in country M is a gathering of filmmakers. Everyone gathers to communicate with each other and exchange knowledge. We are also one of the participants!"

After the camera crew smiled, they started the interview.

"Shanhe, how many awards do you think "The Young and the Restless" will win at this Oscar? Which award are you most looking forward to?"

"Well, it's all right, as long as there's an award. I think the Best Adapted Screenplay Award should be given to me!"

"Hehe... Best Director and Best Picture, "The Young and the Restless" is the biggest favorite at this year's Oscars!"

"How should I put it? In fact, whether or not to win an award is not the most important thing. It would be the best if I could win it, but I won't be disappointed if I can't. It's OK as long as everyone likes and agrees with me!"

...

"1942, The Grandmaster and Lost Souls represent the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong Island and Taiwan Island respectively in the competition for the Best Foreign Language Film at this year's Oscars. Which one do you think is the best?"

"Uh~ 1942! To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about it. It's difficult for Chinese-language films to win awards at the Oscars. There are many reasons for this, and I won't explain them one by one!"

"Annie, what are you different about? What do you think?"

"I have always been confident in Qiu. His works are always the best in my eyes. I think he can win the Best Director Award. Of course, the Best Adapted Screenplay Award will not be missed!"

"Annie, congratulations on having another angel. It is said that you hope the second child is a girl. Is it true?"

"It is true. I think it must be a girl, because the reaction this time is much greater than when I was pregnant with Bernier. And I especially like spicy food. Sour boy and spicy girl. The whole family thinks it is a girl..."

"Have you named her?"

"The English name has been chosen. I want to call her Diana. The family is still discussing the Chinese name!"

...

Shanhe looked at the host and smiled. This host is a bit interesting. He didn't ask about the Oscars ceremony, but directly turned the topic to gossip!

Don't mention it. The host asked the most popular questions for the domestic public.

Whether Shanhe won the award or not is just like that to everyone. Just like he said, if he can win, everyone will be happy and proud. If he can't win, everyone will not be too disappointed.

The grievances between Oscar and Shanhe have been reported by Chinese and foreign media. The biggest attraction of this Oscar is how the grievances between Shanhe and Oscar will continue to develop. Whether or not they win the award is a topic to discuss. Everyone is just watching for fun!

After Hathaway became pregnant with her second child, she did not accept any interviews. Compared with the Oscars ceremony, everyone is more curious and gossipy about the baby in her belly!

The online discussion has been rolling densely since the beginning of the interview.

"Haha... Shanhe is out of touch again, complaining that the Oscars are not as interesting as the market in his hometown. He really doesn't like Oscars!"

"I like his true nature. Oscars are really useless to him. He has won all the awards he should have. His movies really don't lack the popularity of Oscars!"

"Is Anne's second child a girl? I am so looking forward to it. Xiao Xiong will have a sister. I especially hope to see him with his sister!"

"Hathaway is really no different from us Chinese now. She can even say sour boy and spicy girl so fluently. The couple is really a model of love, which makes people envious!"

"By the way, aren't people naming the little princess of the Qiu family on the Internet? Shanhe, take a look. The wisdom of the masses is endless!"
