Director: Female stars want to improve too much

Chapter 108 Oscar Awards Ceremony, "Youth" Casting (Please subscribe)

The Academy Award is an award that is coveted by almost all filmmakers around the world. The statuette is more magical than the trophies of the three major European film festivals.

But the Oscar is also the hardest to win.

It's not that it's high quality.

Instead, the Oscars pay more attention to the political and commercial significance of the film.

in particular.

Your movie must conform to the mainstream thinking of Americans, and it must also have certain commercial value.

The three major European film festivals pay more attention to the film art itself, but that does not mean that they do not pay attention to the political aspect.

after all.

You can't give awards to movies that are against humanity, right?

Xing Baizhou's "Lost in Translation" is a small cast, so the time for the red carpet is not good.

The entire Oscar red carpet show lasts 1.5 hours. Usually the middle and finale are the best places, and the rest of the time is occupied by the crew of "Lost in Translation".

at this time.

Xing Baizhou and Scarlett entered the lounge.

Smith worked as a social cow, chatting with many Hollywood producers, managers and actors.

Today, with the support of Xing Baizhou's two films, Smith is no longer the small producer he was at the beginning, and has gained quite a reputation in Hollywood.

After all, more than 1 million "Pirates of the Caribbean" was thrown out, which made a lot of noise.

but.

The purpose of these people in Hollywood contacting Smith was obviously not for him, an old man. It was really through Smith that they contacted Xing Baizhou.

He was originally sitting with Scarlett, chatting and laughing, but was interrupted from time to time by a yellow-haired foreigner. He received 23 business cards alone.

……

Scarlett Johansson was born in 1984.

18 years old this year.

Nowadays, she is fully developed, and both her breasts and buttocks are very perky.

tonight.

She was wearing a pure red cheongsam with pearl buttons. Although this kind of clothing is the most beautiful on oriental women, her blonde hair and blue eyes also have a unique charm.

Many celebrities in the lounge cast curious and appreciative glances.

"very beautiful!"

"Chinese clothes are so beautiful."

"I want to wear it too."

"So sexy!"

Many people are staring at Scarlett.

Xing Baizhou was dressed normally, an ordinary black suit with a white shirt, simple and decent.

soon.

When "Lost in Translation" was on the red carpet, Orlando Bloom from the "Lord of the Rings" crew stood up and shook hands with him: "Xing, I wish you a big award."

The crews of "Mulholland Drive", "Moulin Rouge" and "Shrek" that I had met in Cannes before also came over to say hello.

On the red carpet.

Xing Baizhou and Scarlett stood hand in hand in front of reporters, the flash lighting up their surroundings as bright as day.

"Xing, you won the Best Director at Cannes last time. Are you confident about winning the Oscar for Best Director this time?"

"When will your "Pirates of the Caribbean" be released?"

"Can 'Pirates of the Caribbean' surpass 'Lord of the Rings' $1 million?"

"..."

All sorts of questions.

He replied simply.

Just as they turned around and walked to the Dolby Theater, the reporter from the Los Angeles Times started to stir up trouble: "There are rumors that you and Scarlett slept in the same room when they were in Tokyo..."

Scarlett covered her mouth and couldn't help laughing.

The girl seemed very happy to be asked such a question. Her eyes turned into crescent shapes, her brows raised, and she said, "Xing and I did stay in a hotel, but it was definitely not in the same bedroom. We are innocent."

Xing Baizhou nodded and smiled.

The more you explain this kind of gossip issue, the more the media will get excited about it, so let’s just not talk about it.

……

The one and a half hour red carpet was over.

The inner courtyard of the Dolby Theater was full of major production crews, and "Lost in Translation" was placed in the third row to the side because of its potential to win awards.

This theater is where the Oscars are held and is often seen in the news.

Last year, Ang Lee and the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won five awards here.

It's just been a year.

The arrival of an Oriental director once again surprised many media, and the domestic media are paying attention to this matter.

This time the Oscars have 24 regular awards, 3 Oscar Board Awards (honorary awards) and 4 Oscar Science and Technology Awards.

This time, "Lost in Translation" was nominated for four awards: Best Original Screenplay, Best Film, Best Actor and Best Director.

soon.

After Cirque du Soleil finished its performance, the awards ceremony officially began.

As one crew after another took the stage, applause rang out again and again. Those who came to the stage to receive the award were all smiles, while the unsuccessful nominees looked lonely.

As expected, "Lost in Translation" won the award for Best Original Screenplay.

It’s my first time to stand on the Oscar stage, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t excited, but it’s still a bit less exciting than the last time I won Best Director at Cannes.

The person who presented him with the award was Gwyneth Paltrow.

She is Tony Stark's smart, capable, sexy and charming female assistant "Pepper Potts" Virginia Potts in "Iron Man".

Now 30 years old, she has a sexy and hot figure. She is 175cm tall and looks very beautiful in high heels.

Scarlett, who was sitting below, was extremely jealous. She looked down at her breasts and then felt a little confident: "Okay, okay, my breasts are bigger than hers."

When Xing Baizhou returned to his seat with the award, Scarlett hugged him excitedly: "Xing, you are really great!"

The girl didn't know if it was intentional or not, but she rubbed herself against him and almost unbuttoned the cheongsam.

at the same time.

There are also many people who are aggrieved that Xing Baizhou only won the Best Original Screenplay Award.

"Cannes recognized "Lost in Translation", but the Oscars only gave Xing the best original screenplay..."

"I feel really bad for Xing, he shouldn't just get this award."

"Damn Oscar, even if they don't give the best director to Xing, they won't even give me the best actor. I'm a true Anglo-Saxon."

"..."

At the end of the awards ceremony.

The most important award today is the Oscar for Best Picture, and the winner is "A Beautiful Mind" starring Jennifer Connelly.

Put aside the movie.

The heroine Connery is considered a goddess-level figure.

In 1984, at the age of 14, she starred in the gangster movie "Once Upon a Time in America", which is regarded as a classic. Her appearance in the movie is still regarded as a classic in film history.

Although she looks good as an adult, Xing Baizhou feels that she does not have the aura she had when she was young.

……

The award ceremony is over.

Lions Gate held a grand celebration banquet for Xing Baizhou.

The news that he won the award had long been spread back to China by the media. Many people heard about it as soon as they got up early in the morning.

Feng Xiaogang gritted his teeth, but he could only be furious because his movie couldn't even be nominated, let alone win.

The crew of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword", which was training at the Huairou Film and Television Base, even took a day off to celebrate Director Xing's winning of the award.

You can see people discussing this matter on TV stations, radio stations, Tianya, 163 Forum and other places.

It can be said.

Xing Baizhou's name once again amazed fans who follow the entertainment industry.

And those who admire and envy them the most are the directors in the industry. Many directors and screenwriters feel that Xing Baizhou is a blind cat who met a dead mouse, and he just happened to make a love movie that meets European and American aesthetics...

They didn't mention at all that "Daisy" and "If Love Has a Will" were also nominated for the Academy Awards, and even invited invitations to the Huabiao Awards and the Golden Rooster Awards to be held in the second half of the year.

Faced with the jealousy of these people, Xing Baizhou is too lazy to reply. As long as he can continue to produce high-quality movies, he can slap others in the face.

11pm.

It was lunch time in China, and three women, Xu Qing, Fan Xiaopang, and Gao Yuanyuan, were sitting in a hotel room near the Huairou Film and Television Base. The three of them were discussing whether to call their brother.

Fan Xiaopang: "Bai Zhou must not be sleeping yet, why don't you give me a call?"

Gao Yuanyuan: "Is he busy? Otherwise, forget it."

Xu Qing: "I guess you won't be busy, it's already midnight over there, I guess I'm going to bed soon."

Fan Xiaopang: "Then let's fight tomorrow?"

Xu Qing: "But I'm always a little worried about him having an inappropriate relationship with Scarlett. Hmm, Bai Zhou can't resist temptation."

"Pfft!" Fan Xiaopang couldn't help laughing: "He really can't resist temptation. He will take the bait when a beautiful woman seduce him."

Gao Yuanyuan now has a very clear understanding of her man's character. She knows that she can't control him, so she simply follows Fan Xiaopang's example and calms down.

The three of them were discussing.

Xing Baizhou and Scarlett had entered a five-star hotel under the protection of fully armed bodyguards.

American night...

He didn't dare to drive around with Scarlett, otherwise it would be a trivial matter to be robbed, and if his life was lost, there would be no chance of rebirth.

at this time.

The two of them had returned to the room.

As soon as Scarlett entered the house, she ran to the window and opened the gauze curtains, giving an unobstructed view of the night view of Los Angeles.

Subsequently.

She turned around with affection in her eyes.

Xing Baizhou walked over and circled her, looking up and down at her cheongsam and figure.

Although she is 18 years old, she is relatively short and has a childish face. She is petite and charming, and the old man cannot control her at all.

Xing Baizhou didn't want to endure it anymore.

He threw off his suit and came to Scarlett wearing only a white shirt and suit pants, and unbuttoned his belt with a wicked smile.

Scarlett licked the corners of her mouth.

Slowly squatted down.

As for why he squatted, it was because when this girl was kneeling on the ground, her lips could only touch his thigh, so she had to squat.

"Jingle Bell!"

Less than a minute after he was manipulated by Scarlett, his cell phone rang. It was Xu Qing's call: "Checking?"

Xing Baizhou thought with a smile.

He looked down at Scarlett and found that this girl was still serving him attentively, so he patted her head to indicate that he wanted to answer the phone.

……

ten minutes.

Xu Qing hung up the phone.

Gao Yuanyuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "There seems to be a woman next to Baizhou!"

"what?"

"Did you hear it?"

Looking at Xu Qing and Fan Xiaopang, Gao Yuanyuan said, "Well, I heard the sound of eating popsicles..."

Well known.

"Old Popsicle" has to be licked to eat properly. When licking, it will make a smacking sound, and just now, Yuanyuan heard this sound.

Xu Qing and Fan Xiaopang were chatting happily, but they didn't notice this.

"You mean, Scarlett is doing that to Bai Zhou?" Xu Qing asked in a low voice.

"Probably!" Gao Yuanyuan nodded.

"Scarlett is so disgusting!" Fan Xiaopang slapped the table angrily, "Sister Qing, next time my brother goes on a business trip, you'd better follow him, or else he'll be with another woman outside..."

Xu Qing smiled helplessly: "You think that if I follow him, it will be useful... maybe he will bring other women to me and perform for me."

Xu Qing Xiaoheizi!

He's hacking me again.

When did we become such a person?

the other side.

hang up the phone.

He lifted Scarlett up. Scarlett's hands and feet could not touch the ground, allowing Xing Baizhou to run freely on her back.

A heart-rending cry filled the room.

……

a few days later.

Nortel welcomed the 2002 candidates.

When Xing Baizhou returned to school, he happened to meet Liu Xiaoqian, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jing and others who came to take the re-examination.

The three of them were as excited as the other candidates to see the legendary Director Xing.

"Wow, this is Xing Baizhou."

"He is already an international director in his sophomore year."

"I heard that there is no one yet. We might still have a chance."

"..."

Xing Baizhou stared at Liu Xiaoqian specifically. Liu Xiaoli, who was standing next to her, felt his eyes on her daughter. She pulled Xiaoqian to the side and gave her some instructions.

After he left, Liu Xiaoqian turned around and looked over, thinking: "They just looked at me, why is mom so worried?"

End of March.

Huairou Film and Television Base.

"The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" ended its training camp and ushered in the start of shooting, and then entered the filming process.

Xing Baizhou also started preparing for "Youth".

Currently.

Preparatory work for the crew is underway, and he and Ning Hao are very busy these days.

It wasn't until mid-March that the location and crew were set up, and now all that was left was casting.

There are two most important actors in "Youth", the male protagonist Liu Feng and the female protagonist He Xiaoping, as well as three supporting actresses and one supporting actor.

At that time, in order to find a few actresses, Feng Xiaogang conducted a nationwide audition with great fanfare and selected a few girls from thousands of girls.

Later, "Youth" became a great success. At a celebration banquet, Feng Xiaogang drank too much and asked the heroine Miao Miao to dance live.

Miaomiao, who has a reserved personality, politely declined because it was difficult to dance in high heels. At that time, Chen Daoming also came to the rescue.

But Director Feng thought it was okay to dance, so he asked her to take off her high heels and dance for a while.

It did jump after that.

There were both men and women eating around, and everyone applauded appreciatively.

This matter originally had no impact, but for some reason, the video was posted online. Director Feng drank and "forced" Miaomiao to dance, which was criticized by netizens.

Feng Xiaogang simply couldn't stand the criticism from netizens, so he stopped filming with Miao Miao.

Later on, her career development was very mediocre, and it didn't take off at all like Mou Girl. It was a pity that she had such a good foundation.

On May 2020, 5, she married Zheng Kai and became a married woman.

Miaomiao was only 14 years old this year and looked like a junior high school student, while Liu Xiaoqian, who was only one year older than her, had already come to Nortel to take the exam.

But Liu Xiaoqian has no dancing skills and is not suitable for this movie.

Xing Baizhou set his sights on Beijing Dance Academy.

……

Principal's office.

After hearing his thoughts on the casting of "Youth", Principal Wu put down the thermos cup in his hand and picked up the phone: "I'm going to call the principal of Beijing Dance Theatre. Let me know which of the dancers there you like."
