I just want to be an actor

Chapter 157 Cannes double nomination, unexpected surprise

"Lost Orphan" grossed terribly high.

So high that even Zhou Sen himself felt that this should not be his due achievement.

But no matter how much the country contributes to this terrible box office, the world will still place this box office result on Zhou Sen.

"Lost Orphan" was drawn, with a total box office of 38 billion, and the current domestic box office record ranks third in history.

You can't even say categorically what kind of film "Lost Orphan" is.

Commercial Film?Documentary?Art film?None of these seem to be able to fully and completely define it.

All I can say is that it's an excellent movie.

And this kind of excellence is also reflected in the application for international awards.

Contrary to Zhou Sen's expectations, "Lonely" and "Farewell My Concubine" both applied for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival in mid-May this year.Once these two works are selected into the nomination list of the Cannes International Film Festival at the same time, then Zhou Sen may become a rare double-nominated actor in history.

Although in an arithmetical sense, the shortlist is just that small, if Zhou Sen can get double nominations at the same time, it means that his probability of winning the best actor will be doubled.

But in fact, the final judging results are still evaluated according to the performance of individual movies.

If Zhou Sen's performances in the two films were mediocre in the films of the same year, then he would definitely not have a chance to win the Best Actor award.

And during this time, apart from waiting for the nomination results of the Cannes Film Festival in the imperial capital, Zhou Sen followed Su Jingwen to attend two construction site groundbreaking ceremonies. The significance of these two construction sites is not ordinary. At the construction site of Hope Primary School, there was no media or public participation in the whole groundbreaking ceremony, only the construction team, the local government and Zhou Sen and others.

And before starting work, Su Jingwen also signed an agreement with the local government in advance.

The construction of these Hope Primary Schools, Zhou Sen will come to see the children every year or every few years whenever he has time, but he hopes that the local government will not leak this information.She conveyed Zhou Sen's idea that she didn't want her charity work to be known to the outside world.

The local government is also very cooperative.

After all, as long as they are cadres in the system with a little better political sense, they can feel that the country is favoring this big star.

It's just that this big star is so virtuous and talented, and also low-key and introverted, which they didn't expect.

After Zhou Sen finished the two construction sites, he also went to two awards ceremonies in the advertising industry and followed Shen Xiyu to get two trophies for the best advertising.

Time is slowly coming to May.

The popularity of "Farewell My Concubine" and "Old Orphan" has not yet passed, and you can often see comments about these two classic movies that became popular at the beginning of this year on social platforms.

Some people even commented that Zhou Sen can be included in the top ten actors in Chinese film history just by relying on these two movies.

Of course, this is just a blow that naturally appears when the wind is down.

If there are blowers, there will be black ones.

It's just that they didn't dare to slander Zhou Sen's acting skills. After all, if they slandered Zhou Sen in this respect, wouldn't the other film kings and kings be even more useless?

You must know that Zhou Sen's performance in these two movies that gathered top film and television superstars is absolutely brilliant.

Be unique and stand out.

But the sunspots firmly grasped a question that even Zhou Sen himself could not refute.

That's the political factor.

Whether it is "Farewell My Concubine" or "Lonely", in fact, their box office may not have reached such a high level.

The former is due to some hype and the limited contract of the cinema, and the latter is able to reach that level because of the full support of the state.

According to the hackers, these two movies have a box office of one billion, which is far less than Zhou Sen's current evaluation of "a member of the 50 billion male protagonist club".

but
When can a billion-dollar box office be called "the skyrocketing"?
Although Zhou Sen's supporters couldn't refute such remarks, they couldn't support the logical chain of the sunspots.

But when the audience in the domestic film and television circles were still wondering whether Zhou Sen could become a legend in the history of Chinese film because of these two films, a piece of news completely brought the discussion to a conclusion.

"Cannes International Film Festival officially announced the nomination list!Zhou Sen has the second one! "

When this news came out, everyone who was still pointing fingers at each other shut up.

The Cannes International Film Festival has finally announced this year’s nominees.

Among them, the most watched Palme d'Or, which is the best film award in the main competition unit of the Cannes International Film Festival, has "Farewell My Concubine" and "Lost Orphan" on the nomination list.

In the nominations for Best Actor, Zhou Sen's name was also nominated twice.

This is the first time the same actor has been nominated twice at the Cannes Film Festival.

Zhou Sen made history unknowingly!

This is not just the history of Chinese actors, nor is it just the history of Asian actors, but the history of the entire Cannes Film Festival. If it is not rigorous, it can be regarded as the history of the world film industry.

Regardless of whether he succeeds in winning the title of Best Actor in the end, he is enough to leave his name in history.

Amidst the silent and envious eyes of the crowd in China, Zhou Sen also followed the crew on the plane to Cannes.

As for which crew he was with?

small!

The layout is small!

Can't the two crews of "Farewell My Concubine" and "Lonely" go together?
Zhou Sen looked at Ye Yiwen and Shen Xiyu who were sitting in front of him chatting and chatting, and then looked at Su Jingwen who was asleep on his shoulder beside him, he suddenly felt a little unreal.

Once upon a time, he had just terminated his contract and returned home from South Korea, and was caught in a storm of public opinion.

In just one year, he has already become a high-profile film and television actor.

Now it's time to win an award.

It's incredible.

There shouldn't be many people who can achieve the speed of progress like yourself, right?
Zhou Sen thought about the young actors in Huaxia. He thought about it left and right, but he didn't think of anyone who could be his opponent.

Suddenly there is a little inexplicable loneliness.

Is this the feeling of floating?
Floating away, that's why it's so cold at high places, lonely and cold?

Zhou Sen saw a news magazine on the back of the front seat, so he took it out and looked at it.

It turns out that this magazine is about film and television stars, and the front page is a handsome young foreigner.

The Legendary Journey of Leonardo

He was silent for a moment.

The feeling of loneliness and floating in my head just now was thrown away in an instant.

He knew that he was not worthy of floating.
