China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 495

Although she knew all this, Gong Li was unwilling to accept it!

Especially since she is the first actress from the mainland to step onto the international stage, she doesn't want to return home in disgrace.

I can't accept it for the sake of face.

Gong Li took a sip of red wine and sighed, "So what if I have talent? There is no shortage of talented actors in Hollywood, but it is hard for Chinese actors to stand out."

Wang Shu felt Gong Li's cries of grief and comforted her by saying, "Hollywood is, after all, a Western stage, and actors are the ones standing in front of the stage. Naturally, Western faces are more likely to stand out."

The reason is just like if the heroine Liu Yifei of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was replaced by an actress with a Western face, it would definitely not be accepted by domestic audiences.

The same is true for Gong Li in Hollywood.

It is difficult for Chinese actors here to even get the chance to play supporting roles, let alone the leading role.

If Gong Li was an action actress, she might be able to gain a foothold in Hollywood with this capital at a time when there are few action actresses in Hollywood.

But she is a drama actress.

Not only is there no shortage of actors for literary dramas in Hollywood, but there is no need to force an important role with an Oriental face who would stand out among many Western actors in the literary dramas of European and American films.

The East and the West are two cultures.

Whether it is Western actors coming to the East or Eastern actors going to the West, it is difficult for them to develop.

Like Li Xiaolong and Chen Long, it is the special nature of kung fu movies that allows them to reap the benefits left behind by Hollywood.

As Wang Shu said this, he raised his glass and clinked it with Gong Li's. Gong Li took another sip of the wine and continued to sigh, "I know all this."

Seeing that Gong Li seemed to be hesitant to speak, Wang Shu seemed to know what Gong Li wanted to say.

In the domestic entertainment industry, Gong Li has already reached the ceiling level.

In this era, the ceiling of domestic entertainment lies in the international arena, and if you want to make it on the international stage, you can only get into Hollywood.

Gong Li has reached the ceiling level in the domestic entertainment industry, so naturally she wants to go further.

However, Hollywood is a Western stage, and people with Asian faces have a chance to play small supporting roles here.

But if you want to play the leading role, it is extremely difficult.

In fact, Wang Shu knew very well that it would be the same for other domestic entertainment actors, not to mention Gong Li, if they came to Hollywood.

Gong Li is an international film queen, and even one of the best.

People like Li Binbin and Fan Binbin have not gone as far as she has.

But Hollywood is really not the place for Chinese entertainers.

There is only one way for domestic entertainment actors to go international, and that is for Chinese-language films to go international and become one of the mainstream films.

Otherwise, no matter how hard you try, you won't be able to make any waves.

Chinese-language films have gone global and become one of the mainstream films in the world.

Well.
Wang Shu only knows that in the future, most castings for domestic film and television productions will have clear price tags.

Many ordinary-looking young men and women from wealthy families paid money to play the leading male and female roles.

The entertainment industry and film and television works have not only failed to move forward, but have regressed.

The more Gong Li spoke, the more upset she felt. She suddenly drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, and Wang Shu immediately poured her another glass.

He couldn't help with other things, but he could pour wine for Gong Li.

Even though he is now an Oscar-winning director, it doesn't mean that he can succeed by simply working with Gong Li and using her as the leading actress.

Gong Li has an oriental face and is a literary actress, so she can only play the leading female role in specific European and American scripts.

In ordinary European and American scripts, she would never have the opportunity to play the leading female role.

Although she can play the role if forced, the audience will vote with their feet when the movie is released and let the investors know their mistake.

Not to mention that producers and investors are not fools and will never cooperate on such a project.

Gong Li has been in Hollywood for several years, but has not had many opportunities, which is proof of this.

Wang Shu said helplessly: "I can win awards in Hollywood mainly because directors work behind the scenes, not on stage."

Gong Li certainly understands this truth. She sighed: "But I'm an actor."

After saying that, he took another sip of red wine gloomily.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Maybe there will be a turn for the better in the future." Wang Shu consoled him, "If I meet a suitable role in the future, I will definitely call you."

"When the time comes, I hope Sister Gong Li won't refuse."

Wang Shu rarely takes the initiative to say words about giving roles to others, but every time he does, he means it sincerely.

Although he went to Hollywood to develop his career, he could have done it with his own connections.

But Gong Li's recommendation really helped him quickly get the opportunity to direct a movie in Hollywood and use it as a stepping stone to gain a foothold.

Therefore, he felt grateful to Gong Li, his senior. As the saying goes, a drop of water is repaid with a spring of water.

It's not that much, but if there is a suitable opportunity or role, Wang Shu will naturally not forget the other party.

When Gong Li heard this, she smiled back at Wang Shu and said jokingly, "You are an Oscar-winning director, so why should I refuse? If you ask me to act, will I refuse?"

Wang Shu smiled helplessly and said, "Sister Gong Li, please don't slander me."

With Wang Shu's current status as an Oscar-winning director, he is on par with Gong Li in China, but far superior to Gong Li in Hollywood.

However, both of them are from the mainland, and Gong Li is a senior figure in the domestic entertainment industry.

Moreover, he had also taken the initiative to help Wang Shu connect with producers in Hollywood.

Regardless of whether Wang Shu is a junior or not, he should still be respected for this friendship.

Gong Li smiled and continued, "How can it be considered as a disgrace? Now that I am in Hollywood, I still need your care in the future."

After that, she joked, "We are all from the mainland, so don't forget me as your big sister."

Seeing this, Wang Shu shook his head helplessly, and then said seriously: "Although I know Sister Gong Li is joking, I will definitely not forget it."

Seeing Wang Shu speak so seriously, Gong Li was touched and asked softly, "I heard that when you were on stage at the theater to receive the award and gave your acceptance speech, the first person you thanked was me?"

It was because she heard about this incident that she called Wang Shu to congratulate him immediately.

Wang Shuneng thanked her first when he gave his acceptance speech, and his intentions were obvious.

It is undeniable that Wang Shu first thanked the college, but this is common practice.

Then be the first to thank her, that’s the true meaning of the heart.

Wang Shu happened to meet Gong Li's gaze. Gong Li's eyes were watery. He did not answer the question, but moved closer to Gong Li.

Gong Li felt the heat and alcohol coming from Wang Shu's breath, but she didn't step back or push him away. Instead, she seemed to be waiting.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Wang Shu was a little "timid" and did not take the next step, he immediately put down the wine glass in his hand, then took the initiative to hug Wang Shu's head and kissed him deeply.

After taking off the outer clothes, judging from the sexy and provocative clothes Gong Li was wearing, Gong Li had indeed dressed up carefully before coming to Wang Shu's apartment.

After a lot of hassles, when it came to the final step, Gong Li hurriedly took out a flat square plastic bag and handed it to Wang Shu, and said softly with tears in her eyes: "I brought this."

Wang Shu looked closely and saw that it was a small umbrella that had not been unpacked.

I couldn't help but smile and praise: "You are really well prepared!"

Gong Li didn't feel embarrassed at all, and replied softly: "I thought you might not have it here, so I brought it."

Obviously, Gong Li was wrong. Wang Shu not only has it, but also quite a few.
But it's not her fault. In her eyes, Wang Shu might have lost his virginity long ago, but he is living a single life in Hollywood.

I can only say that the big sister of domestic entertainment is worthy of being the big sister, she is so thoughtful!
Wang Shu looked at the mountains and deliberately teased: "So, before you came..."

domestic.

The news that Wang Shu won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and the Academy Award for Best Director, becoming the youngest best director in Oscar history, has been reported by major media.

A few days ago, Chen Kaige was disappointed in Berlin. Many media used the sixth-generation directors and Wang Shu to mock the fifth-generation directors. Various blatant disparagements showed that the fifth-generation directors no longer had a halo.

Among them, Chen Kaige is a typical example. Many media directly stated that Chen Kaige's true colors were revealed after his trip to Berlin.

This true face is exposed, which means that he is just a name in name only.

Winning the Palme d'Or at Cannes was just a stroke of luck. In reality, he is just a third-rate director with average skills.

The domestic discussion about the fifth generation of directors is no longer popular, the sixth generation of directors has come to the stage, and the heat about the eighth generation director Wang Shu being a true outlier has not yet subsided. Soon after, news spread back to China that Wang Shu won an Oscar and became the youngest Oscar-winning director in history.

For a time, the country no longer discussed whether the fifth generation of directors was no longer good and the sixth generation of directors was coming to the stage, but everyone was talking about Wang Shuniu.

People inside and outside the circle were shocked by the news.

Oscar for Best Director!

Li An from Taiwan is the only person in the country who has won an Oscar for Best Director. Domestic directors can’t even make it in Hollywood, let alone an Oscar.

For example, Chen Kaige went to Hollywood and failed, and returned home in disgrace.

Today, Wang Shu has not only become the first mainlander to win the Oscar for Best Director, but also the youngest Best Director in Oscar history.

It’s true, Niubi!
When ordinary people see this news and learn about this information, nine out of ten times they will express the meaning of "Niu Bi".

Actors in the circle are different. In their minds, Wang Shu is now an Oscar-winning director.

If I had Wang Shu's support and help, wouldn't it be easy for me to go to Hollywood and step onto the international stage?

The actors in the circle see the benefits that Wang Shu can bring to them after becoming an Oscar-winning director, and are thinking about how to turn these benefits into reality.

In the past, it was difficult to get a chance to go to Hollywood and step onto the international stage.

Now, Wang Shu has won an Oscar and is the youngest Oscar winner for Best Director in history. He must be able to help actors in the industry go international.

therefore.

The opportunity for all domestic entertainment actors to step onto the international stage is right in front of you!
