Chapter 680: The Desire of Chinese Filmmakers
The American Oscar Little Golden Man, with the European Palme d'Or, Golden Lion and Golden Bear Awards, are known as the most important film awards in the world.
To win the Oscar is the highest dream of all filmmakers. No Chinese can win this award so far.
On the contrary, the European Golden Lion Awards and Golden Bear Awards have been won several times by Chinese movies, but not many of them. Since China started filming, only three movies have won three European awards in nearly a hundred years. As for the Oscars, the main awards are still hanging in the air.
However, a few years ago, a movie won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Award, which became the most sensational thing in the domestic film industry at that time. It was lively on the Internet for many days and was hyped by the film company for a year. It is still the dazzling halo of the director until now.
But it's just a stop here. It's just a Best Foreign Language Award, not a main award at all. In fact, there is nothing worth promoting. Only by winning the main award, namely the Best Actor Award, the Best Actress Award, and the Best Supporting Actress Award, can it be considered a real winner.
Chinese filmmakers are surprisingly obsessed with these foreign film awards. Many directors have put in their efforts to win one of the awards, but they just can't get it. But the more they can't get it, the more they want it. It seems that this award is the highest honor and the greatest recognition of the filmmakers. Only by winning this award can you prove the height of your artistic attainments.
However, in decades, Chinese people have never won the grand prize. The most are nominations for Oscars or the marginal prizes, such as Best Photography, Best Foreign Language, Best Action Design, and they can't win the Best Actor Award and Best Actress Award, or even the Best Supporting Actress Award. But these three awards are the real grand prizes. The rest are edge awards, which are not very meaningful.
Guo Dalu is not very enthusiastic about such a grand prize that everyone dreams of. His "Roman Holiday" was nominated for the Oscar last year. However, because he was too busy, Wang Xiaolu was pregnant again. Guo Dalu didn't want someone to lead this award, so he directly refused to attend the award ceremony and refused to receive the award.
The whole Chinese film industry felt that Guo Dalu refused to receive the award was a great regret. Many Chinese filmmakers struggled for this award for a lifetime and could not even find a nomination. Guo Dalu could get nominations by making any movie, but Guo Dalu didn't take it seriously and was too lazy to even go there. This was simply difficult to understand.
Not to mention China, even the organizer of the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences, the organizer of the Academy Awards, is very regretful.
Therefore, when the Chinese film industry submitted the application for "Roman Holiday" again after obtaining Guo Dalu's consent, the US organizer accepted it without hesitation.
Not only are the people from Tianxi Film and Television Company looking forward to this application, but also the entire entertainment industry in China feel uneasy. You should know that this movie is the only movie in China that has the chance to win the Oscar.
This Oscar Award is equivalent to the Nobel Prize in the film and television industry around the world, and is a symbol of the honor of all filmmakers.
Although Guo Dalu is not very rare, China is rare, and the entire film and television industry is extremely rare.
Now that Wang Fengshan said that the Oscar organizer sent an invitation to him, Guo Dalu asked curiously: "What did these foreigners say? How did they arrange this movie?"
Wang Fengshan said excitedly: "Mr. Guo, our "Roman Holiday" has now received fourteen nominations, which is a rare situation in the history of film! Many filmmakers have said that we have a great chance of winning the main award this time!"
Guo Dalu glanced at him and said, "What's so exciting? It's not normal for me to win awards when I shoot a movie? It would be strange if I can't win awards!"
Wang Fengshan was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm confused. It's really normal for us to win the award!"
He was used to Guo Dalu's thinking style without following the routine, and asked carefully: "This grand prize will be awarded in three months. Should we prepare it in advance? Mr. Ma said that someone should customize some decent clothes for you couple."
Guo Dalu waved his hand and said, "But let it go! I'll design this dress. Nowadays, the shitty clothing designers designed for actresses are all styles of revealing flesh, as if the less material the more tasteful it is. If this is the case, just go naked, so what else can you wear?"
Wang Fengshan smiled dryly and said, "Then let me follow your arrangement!"
Guo Dalu looked at Wang Xiaolu next to him, "Can you go? This award is rare, and it is really hard for ordinary people to get it."
Wang Xiaolu said excitedly: "We must go! I heard about it in the living room. So far, no one in our Chinese film and television industry has won the grand prize. The best one is to win a few marginal awards. No one has ever received the real grand prize."
Guo Dalu smiled and said, "It's still early, and there are still three months left. You can prepare a little first. Don't take it too seriously. Anyway, you don't make a living by acting."
Wang Xiaolu smiled and said, "It must be taken seriously! If an actor who is not a professional actor can win the highest award in the film industry, is that a legend? Hehe, do many people feel embarrassed?"
She is now infected by Guo Dalu and is full of bad fun. She laughed and said, "Even a singer like me who has become a monk halfway through can be nominated for the Oscar for Best Leader. Are those professional actors who are professional and professional to death?"
Guo Dalu said: "Shame? There is still the concept of shame in the film and television industry nowadays? If they have shame, they will not have no good works all the time! You said you are a non-professional actor, but I am still a non-professional director! Now my movies have been nominated for Oscars, and I have never seen any embarrassed directors who are from professional backgrounds."
At this moment, Song Qian came over from outside and shouted: "I have heard of it. This time you are nominated for the Oscar again! Xiaolu, you have a high chance of becoming the Best Actress Award!"
She hugged Wang Xiaolu with excitement and jumped and jumped, "This is a big prize. Don't refuse anymore. There is no movie in our country that can win such a big prize! And your movie has actually won fourteen nominations! It's so scary!"
Guo Yunxia and others in the yard also ran over and congratulated Wang Xiaolu one after another.
These girls chattered, making Guo Dalu feel pain in his mind, so he simply stepped out of the house and prepared to go to the yard to clean up.
As soon as she stepped out of the house, Song Qian followed from behind, "Brother Dalu, when will I give me a good role? I also want to be the Best Actress!"
Guo Dalu reached out to her head and pulled her, "Go to die!"
Song Qian was pulled around and turned around in a circle, but she didn't give up yet, and said silly: "Give it one, hey, I remembered that when I was filming Liu Luoguo some time ago, you asked me to work with the little supporting actor Wang Shuigen to work on a movie. Why is there no sound now? I'm not in a hurry, and they probably are waiting in a hurry!"
