Accidentally became a great director

Chapter 233 Which is the best 230

The Independent Spirit Award was officially established in 1984, and its members include all independent film producers (including small ones) other than the eight major film companies in the United States, which is equivalent to the Oscar of the independent film industry.Most of its selection objects are independent films, but it also has a certain influence on the Oscars.

On March 3, the 1th American Independent Spirit Awards were held near Santa Monica Beach, California.

Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Rosario Dawson, Angela Bassett, Andy Samberg... earned cheer after cheer as they walked the red carpet But when Lin Runze and Xu Xian appeared, although there were sporadic cheers, compared with the ones in front and behind, it seemed too shabby.

"Hey, I wouldn't have come if I knew it earlier. This is a domestic film festival in the United States. What do you think we are here to draw?"

Finding a place to sit down, Lin Runze couldn't help complaining.Xu Xian patted his hand lightly, and said: "Since we are here, of course we have to go back with the prize."

As he said that, he raised his eyebrows: "Ouba, this is the promotion period for our album. The company specially gave me three days off. If Oppa can't win the award, then he will be sorry for me."

"Ah, just a 'best international film', or the whole world (except the United States) competing together, do you think I can win the award?"

Lin Runze smiled wryly, he didn't have such great confidence in himself.

"Of course I can. How can "Black Swan" with me be worse than others?"

The corner of Xu Xian's mouth curled up, and she said something that she would never say normally.Lin Runze was dumbfounded when he heard that, is this still his upright and modest sister Zhuxian?

Seeing Lin Runze looking at her like this, Xu Xian also blushed, but then glared at him again: "Ouba, you are the director, screenwriter and leading actor of this movie, you have to be brave!"

"Yes, I have to be brave."

Lin Runze nodded hastily after being trained, like a student taught by a teacher.

In fact, he was not like this before. When I met this girl yesterday, Lin Runze immediately put on his obsession. I didn't expect that Xu Xian didn't like him at all. Instead, he had plausible words and criticized Lin Runze. Nothing.

Lin Runze felt that the girl Xu Xian was rejected by him because of love and hatred, so she didn't feel good about herself now.

Seeing Lin Runze's reaction, Xu Xian couldn't help puffing out, Ouba is really annoying, why did he choose Sikaoni as his girlfriend, even if she wanted to grab it, she couldn't, she could only watch them show their affection .If it were someone else, she would be able to fight for it, but unfortunately, this is her own Sikaoni.

The two were talking, when suddenly a female voice came in: "Hello, Director Lin."

As soon as the two looked up, when they saw this woman, they both stood up quickly and greeted each other.

"Hello, Miss Gong."

"Senior Gong Li, hello."

The woman in front of them is Gong Li, the first Chinese film actor.

"Hello."

Gong Li greeted Xu Xian again, and then looked at Lin Runze: "Congratulations, Director Lin, "Black Swan" has been nominated for the Oscar for 'Best International Film' (formerly Best Foreign Language Film)."

"What's the use of being nominated? The national teacher has been nominated so many times, isn't it still not welcomed by foreigners? I should have the same experience this time."

Lin Runze didn't feel much. Nominations are not awards, and Chinese films have been nominated so many times. Except for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", who brought the awards back?
"Hehe, being nominated is a victory. As for whether to win an award or not, that's a matter of operation."

Gong Li is very clear about this issue. She has been a judge at the three major European film festivals. She was the chairman of the judges at the Shanghai International Film Festival in June this year. It is because of this status that she greeted Lin Runze proactively. Otherwise, Lin Runze Asking her to take the initiative to say hello was a little too much.

"Yes, a nomination is a victory."

Lin Runze also agrees with this sentence, just like Feng Xiaogang's "1942", which was preparing for the Olympics this year, was passed in the primary selection stage, but "Black Swan" was squeezed into the list of 5 people, which is already powerful enough Well, you know he competes with every movie except the US.

"Then I wish Director Lin the best of luck tonight."

Gong Li will be presenting the Best Director Award together with an American star tonight, so naturally she can't say much at this time, leaving a word of congratulations and she has to go to work.

"I also wish Sister Gong a good result in her new movie."

In fact, Gong Li came here this time to promote her new movie, "Return" with Chen Daoming, and the director is Zhang Yimou.

Lin Runze also wished casually, he had no hope of winning the award, and today he was just going through the motions.Over the years, only two films have won this award, one is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and the other is "Brokeback Mountain", and the directors are both Ang Lee.

As for Ang Lee, heh, it's too wonderful to say, too wonderful to say.

"call……"

Seeing Gong Li leave, Xu Xian couldn't help but let out a breath.

"Why, are you still afraid of her?"

Hearing Xu Xian's exhalation, Lin Runze was a little surprised. If anyone in Girls' Generation had the best calming skills, Xu Xian would be the first choice. I didn't expect her to be so afraid of Gong Li.

"If only I could have half the achievements of this senior."

Xu Xian did not answer Lin Runze's words, but murmured to express his admiration.

"Then why don't you hurry up and curry favor with me, if I'm happy, maybe I'll ask you to make a movie again."

Lin Runze couldn't help teasing her.

Xu Xian returned to his senses and rolled his eyes at him, then turned his head and ignored him.

"Yeah, how dare you roll your eyes at me, Xu Zhuxian, where is your politeness?"

This girl seems to have really changed a lot. She used to chase after her, but now she dares to roll her eyes at her.

"Ouba, tell me who will win the Best Director and Best Actress awards tonight."

Although there is resentment towards Lin Yunze's choice of Jung Soo-yeon, Xu Xian still hopes that Lin Yunze will win the award, but unfortunately, except for "Best International Film" which is given to foreigners, other awards are given to American films.Of course, sometimes there are exceptions, such as Ang Lee.

"I don't know who will win the best actress, but the best director should be Steve McQueen."

Steve McQueen's "12 Years a Slave" is based on Solomon Northup's biographical novel "12 Years a Slave". It tells the story of a free black man living in New York who was tricked into Washington. After being a slave for 12 years, the story of regaining freedom depends on a kind person.

Even if he didn't read the story, he knew that this movie was bound to win, and it was the kind of big harvest, because ZZ was right.

Xu Xian obviously also guessed some reasons, nodded, his breath was a little heavy, obviously angry.

"Why are you angry, the world is like this, especially the United States."

Lin Runze could see it, if he hadn't carried the ZZ mission on his back, he wouldn't have come.

In the past, when the country was weak and small, if a domestic film won an award abroad, everyone would scream, especially the three major European awards and the Oscars, especially the Oscars. In the past few years, the number of people shouting has decreased, and everyone feels that it is okay not to win these awards, as if the previous self-confidence has returned.

However, the leader still has to do something, it is still the same sentence, the nest is nothing, and the great contribution is to expand the territory.He knew that Americans didn't want to see Chinese people, but he still spent a lot of effort on the promotion of "Black Swan", and he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of "Farewell My Concubine".

Back then, "Farewell My Concubine" seemed to the Chinese people to be a god against gods and Buddhas against Buddhas, so they didn't carry out too much publicity when they nominated for Oscars. Unfortunately, his competitor "The Lover of Four Thousand Gold" at that time was It was a big event, and then the awards were taken away by others.

The American Independent Spirit Awards can be said to be the outpost and weathervane of the Oscars. If Lin Runze has achieved success in this regard, then maybe he will also have a breakthrough in the Oscars.At that time, both Lin Runze and him have made great contributions.

That's why Lin Runde is sitting here at this time, otherwise he wouldn't come even though he was nominated.

Hearing Lin Runze's words, Xu Xian puffed up his cheeks, let out another breath, and Xu Xian from Girls' Generation came back again.

"Ouba, you said if they allow me to participate in the best actress competition, will I win this award?"

Seeing Kate Brecht, who won the Best Actress and came to the stage to accept the award, Xu Xian couldn't help asking.

"impossible."

Lin Runze's answer was completely beyond Xu Xian's expectation. She originally thought that Lin Runze would comfort her, but she didn't expect to say this. Xu Xian couldn't help breathing heavily again. She felt that Lin Runze was To tease her on purpose.

"Don't you know that there are red sofas in Hollywood? There are red sofas when casting roles, and there are connections when choosing who wins. Otherwise, how could Weinstein have such a big reputation?"

The reason why Lin Runze's attitude towards these awards is "I am lucky to lose my life" is because he has seen through the transactions behind these awards.

After all, it is still the most solid at the box office.

"Okay, the Best Actor award is over, and there are only two awards left, one is Best International Film and the other is Best Film.

Hehe, Xiaoxian, which of the two do you think is the best? "

Before being swept by the spotlight, Lin Runze couldn't help but make a joke.

Now the best international film is being awarded, and the best film is naturally the finale, so it is clear at a glance which one is the best.

Xu Xian ignored Lin Runze, but prayed with his eyes slightly closed. Although he chose Sikaoni, she still hoped that he would get enough awards. Although these awards were not so pure, she still Hope he gets it.

"29th Independent Spirit Awards, Best International Film..."BLACK SWAN"!"

"what!"

Xu Xian screamed for a while, and before Lin Runze could react, he hugged him.

Her prayers worked, and she decided to go to worship for a month with Sooyoung Oni.
