I just want to be an actor

Chapter 191 Relying on the Country to Obtain Oita

"Is he really a Chinese? Why do I only think he is white when I look at it?"

One of the judges came to his senses and praised his friend next to him in surprise.

Regardless of other perspectives, if he didn't tell him who the Lee Chandler actor in the movie was, he would almost have started singing ahead of time that a white actor was about to be born.

But he is a yellow man.

If he is a black person, then he has a [-]/[-] chance of being a best actor compared to a white person.

But judging from the skin color now, the probability of him being the best actor may be very small.

This may be related to the skin color factor, or it may be related to other off-court factors. Anyway, as an ordinary judge, he can't decide anything.However, he himself does not have such a strong prejudice. If there is no external reason, if he is asked to vote, then he should vote for Zhou Sen for the Best Actor award.

After all, he was too perfect in Manchester by the Sea.

In all fairness, Zhou Sen deserves to be the Best Actor in Cannes, his acting skills are not at all what this young man should have.

Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no geniuses in this world.

The last guy who was as brilliant as Zhou Sen was named River Phoenix.

That guy is Xiao Lizi's idol. There was once a saying to describe him: "The whole 90s belonged to him." He created Hollywood's "Melancholic Performance". Nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars and Golden Globes.

That.
So to say
The judge looked again at Zhou Sen's information found on his mobile phone.

He suddenly realized that his opinion seemed to be biased. Compared with Zhou Sen, even Rui Fan seemed nothing, right?

Or, evenly matched?
Although many people lament the death of River Phoenix, they all say that if he were still alive, he would probably be able to win the Oscar before the age of 25.

You know, until now, with his extremely superb and elegant acting skills in "The Pianist", Adrien Brody, who holds the record of the youngest Oscar winner, was also far away from himself when he won the Oscar winner. I'm two months away from my 30th birthday.

It's a pity that Rui Fan passed away at the age of 23, and the reason was because of smoking contraband.

No one thought he was doing the right thing, and it was even more regrettable that his talent was wasted like this.

But now, like Zhou Sen, who can be associated with youth and superb acting skills, many people think of the 18th Academy Awards held in 90.At that Oscar, Timothee Chalamet, who was born in 1995, was officially nominated for the Best Actor Oscar at the age of 23.

Although Timothee Chalamet failed to win the best actor title in the end, his status as the youngest nominee in history is enough for him to have absolute praise from all parties.

What about Zhou Sen?

At the age of 22, he was the Best Actor in Cannes and won the Palme d'Or at the same time.

This time, "Manchester by the Sea" is enough to prove that Zhou Sen has the ability to compete for Oscars, although in the end, Zhou Sen may not win the final crown due to some off-site factors.

But in the eyes of most of the judges who have watched "Manchester by the Sea", Zhou Sen can at least break Timothee Chalamet's record as the youngest Oscar nominee in history.

"Well, gentlemen, we've had enough rest."

Mr. Gannis tapped his cane gently on the floor.

He looked at the academy judges calmly.

"We just received a message."

Mr. Gannis spoke slowly, but with great force.

Everyone listened carefully to what he said. If this kind of sudden news could be brought out by Mr. Gannis at this time, it must have a lot of weight.

"It was the White House office that called me."

After Mr. Ganis told where the news came from, the expressions of everyone present changed a little.

Every time this kind of White House office calls Oscar, it may mean that some off-site factors will interfere with some originally fair and just reviews.

Of course, some of the judges may still have some notions of skin color discrimination in their hearts, and it may not be completely fair and just.

Some judges who appreciated Zhou Sen's performance, or some judges who had always supported Lonergan, couldn't help but sigh in their hearts after hearing the beginning of the news.

From the looks of it, it is estimated that "Manchester by the Sea" will miss the nomination.

You know, it's not like there were no phone calls from the White House office before. Every time I came, it was because I received news over there that a movie starring Chinese people here had been shortlisted.If it is a Chinese-American director like Ang Lee, who has received an American education, and has cooperated with major American capitals, and has made a lot of money for them, maybe he can be shortlisted, or even win a small award. .

But if someone like Zhou Sen has no roots and no background, and it is said that he is one of the official spokespersons of the entertainment industry in that country on the other side of the ocean, then most of the films in which he participated will be killed.

Gannis had a strange expression on his face, but he still told the news he had received.

"The request from the Office of the President is"

"You can't interfere with the judging criteria because of skin color or national issues, and you should strongly support foreign friends to participate in the Oscars, a world-class film and television feast, at a deeper level."

Gannis smiled slightly, raised the glass on the table, and offered a glass of wine to all the judges present.

"They emphasized that, especially Chinese friends, we should treat them with a tolerant and generous attitude, so that the world can see our tolerance."

This answer stunned everyone present.

Is this still the free America they know?

Didn't the news come out right?

Why does it feel like this kind of statement is not something that people in the White House can say?
"Although I think this seems like a big joke on us, I suggest you turn on your mobile phones now and see what is the most trending search on Twitter."

Mr. Gannis pointed to his mobile phone politely, indicating that everyone can pay attention to it at this time.

Ok?
Some judges with a keen sense of politics already understood what was going on.

They looked at Zhou Sen's name again and said with emotion, this boy is really a lucky boy.

To a certain extent, Zhou Sen's acting skills are indeed good enough to be nominated for an Oscar winner, but it is only a nomination.

If he really wanted to win the final crown, he had to stand out among a group of top actors who were also at the actor level.

Even if "Manchester by the Sea" is already the No. 1 in the minds of these judges this year, who can guarantee that there won't be someone who performs better than Zhou Sen in the future?

After all, monsters like Zhou Sen have already appeared, so it is not impossible for more monsters to appear, right?
But now, with the recovery of China-US relations and the changes in the international situation, the two sides can't wait to express their attitudes to each other through some special channels and methods.

For the United States, the Oscar winner is nothing compared to the relationship between the two countries.

If an Oscar winner can be exchanged for greater benefits in the cooperative relationship between the two countries, then they will definitely present this laurels willingly.

What's more, I heard that this young Chinese has already won the best actor in Cannes, and his performance is also extremely exciting.No matter from what point of view, he is also qualified to win that laurel crown, and what they need to do now is to relax some restrictions.

Then the United States can gain the benefits of cooperation again, and clearly express its position to China.But there is no need to make too many concessions in the military and economy, but a little retreat in culture and entertainment.It can also show their greatness. They have been criticized for a long time, but if they pretend a little this time, many people will start to brag about the United States.

So it was a no-nonsense decision.

However, this is different for Zhou Sen.

Perhaps as an actor, he has no way to control the relationship at the national level, nor can he participate in such a deep and high-level game.

But this Oscar winner may truly crown his legendary life.

That's why some people feel that Zhou Sen is the real lucky man of the times.

Just because he is lucky doesn't mean he has no strength.

Is it possible that the world is missing those talented people who are very capable but have never been able to win the final crown to prove themselves?

Zhou Sen, is the one who has peerless talent and strength, but is extremely smooth.

This is the point of envy and hatred.

"It seems that everyone has no controversy anymore?"

Mr. Gannis put down the mobile phone in his hand, and said calmly.

None of the judges dared to speak out against it at this time, even those judges who had a strong skin color concept and felt that people of yellow race should not get their hands on the Oscar golden seat, did not dare to say anything.

"Then let me announce in advance that "Manchester by the Sea" will be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor."

"Jackson Zhou from China will have the chance to finally compete for the crown."

"Who is for? Who is against?"

There was a complete silence in the arena, and silence represented acquiescence.

Zhou Sen didn't know that on the other side of the ocean, his name was being discussed by so many people, and his life was repeatedly studied. He also didn't foresee that he would succeed in getting this big score by relying on the country.

He also saw the "China-U.S. Joint Declaration" signed by China and the United States, and he just sighed that it might be much easier to get a visa to the United States in the future, and then continued to work on the deployment of the crew.

The crew of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" are all Ye Yiwen's old team.

This is already the best crew in the country. If Zhou Sen wants to get along well with this crew in a short period of time, he still needs to spend more energy.

Fortunately, he had filmed "Farewell My Concubine" before, and Zhou Sen was quite familiar with these teachers.

He said "Brother Zhang" on the left and "Master Li" on the right.

His directing style is different from Ye Yiwen's.

Zhou Sen knew that he didn't have the old qualifications, he could scold people everywhere with a small horn like Ye Yiwen.

Fortunately, he didn't like to swear at people very much, so he said his request gently and asked people to correct him according to the request.

Whether it is because Zhou Sen is the leader of the new generation in the Chinese film industry, or because he was personally brought up by Ye Yiwen and trusted enough to hand over a national film to him.No one complained about Zhou Sen's words, and no one dared to rely on his old age here.

Everyone knew very well that Zhou Sen didn't lose his temper because no one made a mistake.

If someone really dared to challenge Zhou Sen in the film crew, with the power Zhou Sen now had, he could let that person come back as he came, roll as he should, and climb as he should.

And when Zhou Sen was deploying the crew, Shen Xiyu, who had nothing to do recently, would come over to visit and guide Zhou Sen. It was also a check to see if Zhou Sen had learned the basic director skills from himself. solid.

In addition, Zhou Sen was surrounded by Lu Yang, an up-and-coming assistant director, and Su Jingwen, who could help Zhou Sen no matter what.

With the help of the two of them, Zhou Sen's task of directing this time will not be so heavy.

The preparation for "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was smoother and faster than everyone expected.

Some people have to start to face up to Zhou Sen's director ability.

They had a premonition that Zhou Sen's director level might not be any worse than his acting level.

Before filming begins, Zhou Sen will review the scene with each actor to see how they are performing.

If it is possible, start shooting directly. If the actor's state does not meet Zhou Sen's expected effect, then he will ask the actor to either rest first and move the time of the scene later, or let him find his own feeling and find that he can shoot.

Zhou Sen stipulates this, and he actually does it.

Even Mr. Jin Shijie, who has the best qualifications and top acting skills in the crew, was asked by Zhou Sen to take a day off to find his status because he was not in a funny and flamboyant state.

But the most worrying thing is not who.

It was Shen Qingqiu.

Although Shen Qingqiu's condition was unexpectedly good, but that was only relative to everyone's perception that she hadn't acted in eight years.

With Zhou Sen, he doesn't care if you haven't acted for eight days or eight years.

If the status is not good, it means that it cannot be uploaded, and it means that it cannot be filmed.

For this reason, Shen Qingqiu failed to start filming for four consecutive scenes, and the time was diverted to other actors' scenes to shoot first.

The more she procrastinated for a day, the heavier her shooting task would be.

Some people were worried that if Zhou Sen asked Shen Qingqiu like this, would he repeat the mistakes of "White Cat" back then, making Shen Qingqiu unable to act?
Just when everyone was worried, Shen Qingqiu broke out.

Of course, it wasn't his temper that broke out, but his acting skills.
