You made me a superstar

Chapter 240 Isn't that the Oscar nomination?
"Mr. Zhao, I have good news for you!"

"Mr. Tom, is there any other good news?" In just a few days, he fell from heaven to hell, which completely drained Zhao Sicheng's spirits and left him in a panic, for fear of hearing something bad.

"Fatal Crisis is nominated for an Oscar for Best Editing!"

"What! "Fatal Crisis" was nominated for an Oscar? Well, isn't the box office of "Fatal Crisis" not very optimistic?"

"Yes, although the box office is not very optimistic, but this movie reflects our current environment in the United States very well. Yesterday Senator Sergey publicly praised it in front of the media. After watching it, several members of the jury also felt that the filming was very good. Well, some people gave a very high evaluation, thinking that this is what the real America should look like. Also, they think this movie reveals the traditional Chinese culture and the current situation of China very deeply, which is of reflective significance... ..."

"Of course, our company also contributed a lot. Mr. Jims traveled around, submitted materials, and made appointments with friends, so there was such a nomination... Although it has not been made public yet, I will notify the company as soon as the news is received. you……"

"..."

Life is so dramatic sometimes.

These days, Zhao Sicheng, who has been banned for a year, is very gloomy.

Resentment, anger, despair, frustration, anxiety...

These negative emotions have been constantly emerging in the depths of his heart.

He smashed an unknown number of things in the house, and even the neighbors in the villa next door could hear him yelling at his wife.

He even took out a large sum of money to donate to several colleges and universities in Laomei, and even left some relations with the Immigration Bureau. He planned to leave this disgusting country completely, and never came back unless necessary.

However, when he was about to sign, he received a call from Lao Mei.

After receiving the call, he was ecstatic. All the anger and humiliation seemed to disappear at this moment!
He was so excited that he was almost crazy, laughing like crazy in the room.

Oscar!
Yes!

His "Fatal Crisis" was nominated for an Oscar!

Although he is not the first Chinese director shortlisted for this award, it is enough to shock the entire Chinese film circle!

Where is Oscar?
That is a world-class film hall, and it is the highest honor for Huaxia directors.

There is no doubt and no way out, the willows are dark and the flowers are bright again!
........................

CCTV hall.

Since China Central Television held the Spring Festival Gala in 1983, it has been held for 25 consecutive years.

For 25 years, every New Year's Eve, a family sitting in front of the TV watching the Spring Festival Gala and having a reunion dinner has become one of the most solemn ceremonies before the Chinese New Year. It carries the memories of generations. In that era, countless laughter was sent to every family.

It used to be the most anticipated TV program among Chinese people.

However, maybe it’s because the old artists have retired one by one, maybe it’s because computers have gradually become popular in thousands of households, and it’s easier and more convenient for people to obtain information, or maybe it’s because the Spring Festival Gala really lacks new ideas. The ratings of the show are getting lower every year...

The chief director of the 07 Spring Festival Gala is named Shen Jinsong. He is 48 years old and is one of the vice presidents of the Huaxia Directors Association. However, he has no rights in the film industry and is a marginal figure among the vice presidents.

There is still half a month before the Spring Festival Gala, and the program of the Spring Festival Gala has basically been confirmed, but Shen Jinsong has been watching the stage silently, his eyes lost in deep thought.

"President Zhou, I think this year's Spring Festival Gala needs to be reformed, and it can't go on like this..." When Zhou Yilin and President Zhou came to the scene to observe Shen Jinsong's arrangements for the Spring Festival Gala, Shen Jinsong said these words seriously .

"How do you want to reform?" Zhou Yilin picked up the program and watched it for a while, then put the program list aside.

"The Spring Festival Gala should be in line with international standards, what do you think?" Shen Jinsong said tentatively.

"International standards, are you referring to the special effects of the Spring Festival Gala, or the equipment?" Zhou Yilin looked at Shen Jinsong's determined expression and pushed his glasses.

"Last year, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala directed by Chen Kai set a new low for the Spring Festival Gala... The lack of attractiveness of the program is one reason, and the other reason is that the Chinese people are a little tired of the Spring Festival Gala..."

"how do you want to do it?"

"I want to invite Korean star, Lee Do-joon over..."

"Do you want to invite Korean stars?" Zhou Yilin was taken aback, then frowned: "In the early years of the Spring Festival Gala, foreigners were indeed invited, but they were the foreign disciples of Mr. Ding Machun, the cross talk master... Li Dujun is a singer Bar?"

"Chairman Zhou, Li Dujun is very famous in South Korea and has countless fans in China. Now is the time of the Korean wave. This is a new era. No one can go against the times. Chen Kai and Director Chen last year The reason for the failure of the Spring Festival Gala is that it did not conform to the times, and has been paying attention to those old-fashioned cross talk sketches... These things are indispensable, but they are not the expectations of the Spring Festival Gala's ratings!" Shen Jinsong explained while looking at the program list of the Spring Festival Gala.

"I will respond to my superiors, but Li Dujun's appearance fee for the Spring Festival Gala is not cheap, at least 800 million!"

"Didn't the higher-ups always want to reform? I think the direction of reform should be in this direction. You want ratings but don't want to spend money. Isn't this asking the horse to run without feeding the horse?"

"Well, okay."

Zhou Yilin nodded, and then his phone rang.

After answering the phone, Zhou Yilin was taken aback for a moment, and then a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

"What's wrong? President Zhou?" After seeing Zhou Yilin's expression, Shen Jinsong was a little strange.

"Director Zhao is here!"

"Director Zhao? Isn't he banned now?"

"His movie "Fatal" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Editing!"

"What!" Shen Jinsong's eyes widened, his originally calm expression suddenly became extremely excited: "He really won the nomination award?"

"Yes! Haha, just in time, the three of us went to the relevant departments to meet with the leaders, just in time to talk about the lifting of the ban and the reform of the Spring Festival Gala!" Zhou Yilin's eyes flashed shrewdness, and his smile became wider and wider.

"Row!"

..............................

"The lifting of the ban this time should be a certainty. Congratulations, Director Zhao..."

"Haha, I haven't won an award yet, so don't be in a hurry to congratulate. I didn't want to come here, but I think that as a Chinese, and I have been in China for so many years, I don't say I have worked hard, but at least I have worked hard. I will delay it for a year. , is equivalent to making one less film...I hope the leaders can seriously consider the ban..."

"Don't worry, the leaders value talents the most. This time you won the nomination award, the leaders will definitely consider it carefully!"

"hope so!"

People are happy when they are happy.

A few days ago, Zhao Sicheng was quite disappointed with the relevant department and hated it deeply, but now, when he stepped into the hall of the relevant department again, his face was full of smiles.

He followed Zhou Yilin and Shen Jinsong into Xu Kangnian's office again.

When Xu Kangnian saw the three of them, he showed a bright smile on his face, and even shook Zhao Sicheng's hand very seriously, said a lot of words of encouragement, and then asked them to wait in the office. Reply, to discuss the lifting of the ban.

After the three of them waited in the office for two hours, they saw Xu Kangnian walking over with a gloomy expression.

"Xu Ke, how is it? Did Bureau Li pass?"

"No..." Xu Kangnian shook his head.

"What? Why? Could it be that I'm already like this, and still can't get the ban lifted? If this is the case, this is too chilling!" Zhao Sicheng became excited, and his voice was heard by Zhang Jianguo next door.

"Ju Li has arrangements made by Ju Li, please stay calm and wait for the news, I will talk to Ju Li again, Director Shen, I already know about your Spring Festival Gala reform proposal, and Ju Li generally agrees, but We have to hold a meeting to discuss the details, so you should go back first..."

"Xu Ke, I think this matter should be put on the agenda. Director Zhao is an excellent director, and this time he was nominated for an Oscar, which is a matter of glory for the country!" Zhou Yilin looked at Xu Kangnian with a frown.

"President Zhou, I know, this matter is a long-term plan, and I will talk about it at the meeting tomorrow..." When Xu Kangnian faced Zhou Yilin, he forced a smile on his face and said a few words of relief.

Zhou Yilin and Shen Jinsong nodded, smiled and left the office and walked out of the relevant departments.

But Zhao Sicheng who followed them hesitated for a moment.

"President Zhou, President Shen, you go first... I still have something to do."

"Director Zhao, don't be impulsive."

"It's okay, I'm not impulsive, just say a few words, don't worry, I know it."

"it is good!"

After seeing Zhou Yilin and Shen Jinsong leave, Zhao Sicheng turned around and went back to the office. He took out the documents and took a deep breath under Xu Kangnian's surprise: "Xu Ke! This is my immigration information, I To tell you the truth, I will apply to the US Immigration Service in a few days... This time, no matter whether I can win an Oscar or not, it will prove my international director level, if it is not a last resort, and if there are some things It's too chilling, I won't leave my motherland... The one-year ban has a huge impact on me, how many years are there in my life? I don't want to be forced to leave..."

"Go back first, I'll take care of this matter, don't be impatient." The smile on Xu Kangnian's face suddenly disappeared.

Although he was somewhat partial to Zhao Sicheng in his heart, the threatening tone in Zhao Sicheng's voice made him feel harsh, but he still said these words patiently.

"Okay, um... sorry, Xu Ke, I'm a bit harsh, but I really can't be banned for a year now, and I'm too unwilling... I can make a movie in a year ..." Zhao Sicheng looked at Xu Kangnian, and he also realized that his tone seemed to be rushed, he lowered his head, his voice was full of sadness.

"It's okay, I understand, let's go back first, take a good rest today, I've seen you haggard a lot recently."

"Okay, I believe that Xu Ke is fair and just, and you will definitely give me a fair one!" Zhao Sicheng said gratefully.

Just when he picked up the materials and was about to leave, he suddenly heard footsteps, accompanied by footsteps, and an emotionless voice: "Director Zhao, I want to ask you, you can't be banned, can it be Do other directors deserve to be banned for so many years?"

After hearing the voice, Zhao Sicheng turned his head subconsciously, but saw Zhou Yang standing at the door looking at him.

He took a deep breath, his expression was cold, and the fire in his heart suddenly burst into flames: "Zhou Yang, what do you mean by being eccentric?"

"It's nothing interesting, I just happened to pass by here, and I just happened to hear what you said, so I couldn't help but say a few words..." Zhou Yang glanced at Zhao Sicheng, and then glanced behind him: "Director Zheng, let's go there , Zhang Ke has been waiting for us for a long time..."

Zhao Sicheng was so angry that his whole body trembled: "What are you, you have made some movies and made some box office, so you really think of yourself as a character!"

Zhou Yang stopped when he heard the voice, and then continued to look at Zhao Sicheng expressionlessly: "It's not me who regards myself as a character, it should be Director Zhao, isn't it just an Oscar nomination? As for such a labor-intensive use of chicken feathers as arrows?" ? Do you really think Huaxia is the only director? If Huaxia leaves you, the movie circle will stop?"

Zhao Sicheng laughed back angrily: "Isn't it an Oscar nomination? Hehe, Director Zhou is amazing, why haven't I seen you come back with a nomination?"

Zhou Yang, who was about to enter the office, stopped, and then looked at Zhao Sicheng blankly: "See you Oscar!"

After finishing speaking, he walked into the office, leaving Zhao Sicheng with a confused face.

What?
What is Oscar?

Is it possible...

As soon as he learned about his nomination, he was so excited that he called around to talk about the lifting of the ban, wishing to announce it immediately to the whole day, never expecting that there would be others...

This is an Oscar, not cabbage. There have never been two Chinese directors nominated in the same year in the history of Chinese film...

　The third is sent to...
