Chapter 473 Go to Hollywood Again
This year's Oscars are attracting much attention, especially in the three places across the Taiwan Strait, because two Chinese directors have been nominated for heavyweight awards.
What’s very interesting is that people like Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang all wanted it, even in their dreams, and some even launched attacks several times. But except for Lao Mouzi, others couldn’t even get a nomination. On the contrary
It's those two "half-hearted" directors, but they got the nomination "very easily".
But that "half-heartedness" is still more or less a joke.
Just like Li An, after he won the award for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he felt that the process was extremely difficult. He couldn't help crying and vowed on the spot in front of reporters: "...It's too difficult! I will never compete for an award again.
.”
Facts have proved that this is just a matter of speaking out!
Later, Li An won two Academy Awards for Best Director. Especially the film "Life of Pi", with its fantastic and beautiful images and unhurried narrative style, it is definitely a visual feast.
By the way, Li An's directorial style still tends to be artistic. In this field, he is definitely one of the top masters in the world. But when it comes to commercial films? Think of the "Hulk" in which he rushed to the street and lost blood.
Forget it!
…
"Photon!" Yuan Quan pushed Rong Guang listlessly on the flight. Just after the Spring Festival, the two of them rushed to Hollywood again to attend this year's Oscar ceremony. "Didn't you already hold the title of richest man? How come we can't even get the first prize?"
There are no cabins?”
At the end of last year, the Mainland China Rich List of the two major lists was updated, with Rong Guang retaining the top spot with a wealth of 31 billion. Among them, the biggest contributor is Hao Miaomiao. The current stock price has exceeded 120 Hong Kong dollars, directly bringing Rong Guang to the list.
He is worth tens of billions.
Ranked second is Zhang Yin, the richest woman in history. Her Nine Dragons Paper Co., Ltd. is also very powerful and has become the leading paper-making king in China. On the mainland's rich list, the proportion of female richest people has always far exceeded the world average.
Moreover, the proportion of people starting from scratch is quite high. In this regard, China’s gender equality is actually quite good.
No matter how much you brag about the high status and wealth of women in your country, you can’t deceive people, right? That’s the development opportunities given to women by the entire society. Can you see any discrimination? Is there a glass ceiling?
Regarding Yuan Quan's complaint, Rong Guang was also helpless: "How do I know that I can't buy a first-class ticket? This society is too dark. Everyone is so rich now. Sooner or later, there will be a class struggle and fight against their rich people!"
It coincides with the Spring Festival, and flights between China and the United States are particularly tense. It's not that Rong Guang doesn't want to fly first class, and he doesn't lack the money now, and it's not like he's being pretentious or stingy. But he really can't afford it if he wants to catch up with the award ceremony.
A first class ticket?
Yuan Quan squinted his eyes: "Hit the rich! The first one on the list is you, right?"
Rong Guang was happy, but he had forgotten his status as the richest man: "I am different, I am the income from labor, and I have never exploited the hard-earned money of working people!"
"Bah! You're a black-hearted capitalist! You're not even willing to pay for a first-class flight?"
"Anyway, I am unlucky, and you are equally unlucky. We are just grasshoppers on a rope. Can you, Xiao Quanquan, escape?"
"Of course I will... When the disaster comes, we will all fly away! Cluck cluck..."
The two males and females talked some useless words and even made fun of them from time to time.
Yuan Quan simply started to act rogue: "You are just stingy anyway. It would be unlucky to follow you. Humph."
"Isn't it just to buy a private jet? Can you use your money to buy it?" Rong Guang said cheerfully.
"Why?" Yuan Quan glared.
"My money is all useful. You just eat and sleep every day, like a pig, and you have no place to use your money. Whose should I use if I don't use yours?"
"Okay, Rong Guang! I'm blind, all your hair has caught up with me!"
"Hahaha!"
Speaking of this year's Spring Festival Gala, Uncle Benshan and Song Dandan's Baiyun Black Soil finally appeared and immediately contributed a lot of golden words.
Then the two of them chatted for a while about interesting things during the Spring Festival, including some programs in the Spring Festival Gala. At this moment, someone suddenly asked: "Sorry, Rong Sheng, Rong Tai, are you also going to attend the Oscars?"
When Rong Guang turned around, he was immediately startled. I don't know when, many reporters had appeared around him, and they were all looking at him eagerly.
"Haha, are you paparazzi?" Rong Guang said happily.
"Yes! We are the paparazzi!"
Rong Guang said in his heart, "Fuck". This reporter from Hong Kong and Taiwan is hopeless. They have already said, "I am a paparazzi and I am glorious"?
"Ahem." He coughed a few times, "Then you are also going to interview Oscar?"
"Yes! Rong Sheng. If it's inconvenient, can I interview you with a few questions?"
"Uh...okay!"
Anyway, I have nothing to do, and there is nowhere to escape in the cabin, so I might as well answer a few questions casually. Moreover, there seem to be a lot of reporters on this flight. In addition to the paparazzi from Hong Kong and Taiwan in front of me, there are also more reporters behind me.
Slowly gather some mainland reporters?
"Rong Sheng, Rong Tai, this time you have been nominated for an Oscar, and Rong Tai has even been nominated for Best Actress. How do you feel?"
"If we say we are very sad, do you also believe it?"
Amidst the laughter, all the reporters were refreshed. The two people in front of them seemed to have little interest in such a non-nutritious question.
In the media, Rong Guang's reputation has always been very good. Apart from scandals, he is basically a news maker. And he has always been brave enough to speak out and can easily create some front-page headlines.
"Guang Shao, who do you think has a greater chance, you or Li An?"
"It should be Li An." Rong Guang told the truth, "I have always liked his works. I hope we both win Oscars, right?"
Li An belongs to the direct line of directors from the Hollywood Academy, so when it comes to awarding awards, the Oscar judges are somewhat biased. And this is also true. He won the Best Director Award this year.
Rong Guang is actually the same. Rong Guang is a direct line director at Cannes, so he has benefited from the Cannes Film Festival several times. In this regard, it is the same all over the world. It is not a gift to give to anyone, it is better to give the grand prize to one of your own.
"Have you seen Li An's "Brokeback Mountain"? What is your evaluation of this film?"
One thing to say, Rong Guang actually saw it, but it was before he was reborn.
A gay-themed film like this will definitely not be introduced in China. And pirated discs will not appear on the market until after the awards. Even if Rong Guang wants to watch it now, he can't find a place?
"I haven't seen it yet, but I heard that the film was very good." Rong Guang came up with a snake oil answer, "I think "Brokeback Mountain" has a good chance of winning the award!"
Chapter completed!
