Chapter 495
Although she knows this, Gong Li is unwilling to give in!
Especially since she is the first mainland actress to step onto the international stage, she does not want to return to China in despair.
In terms of face, I can’t accept it.
Gong Li took a sip of red wine and sighed: "So what if you have the ability? Not only are there no shortage of capable actors in Hollywood, but it is also difficult for Chinese actors to get a chance to succeed."
Wang Shu felt Gong Li's cry and comforted him: "Hollywood is a Western stage after all, and actors are the characters standing in front of the stage. Naturally, it is easier for Western faces to get ahead."
The truth is, Just like if the heroine Liu Yifei of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" were to be starred by a Western-looking actor, she would definitely not be accepted by domestic audiences.
The same is true for Gong Li in Hollywood.
For Chinese actors here, it is difficult to get the chance to play supporting roles here and there, let alone starring roles.
If Gong Li is a female hitter, she may be able to use this as capital to gain a foothold in Hollywood when there are very few female hitters in Hollywood.
But she is a literary and opera actress.
Not only is there no shortage of literary actors in Hollywood, there is no need to forcefully include an important role with an Eastern face that stands out among the many Western-faced actors in literary dramas in European and American films.
East and West are two cultures.
Whether Western actors come to the East or Eastern actors come to the West, it is difficult for them to develop.
Like Li Xiaolong and Chen Long, it’s just the special nature of kung fu movies that allows them to reap the blank dividends of Hollywood.
When Wang Shu said this, he touched the wine glass with Gong Li. Gong Li took another sip of wine and continued to sigh: "How could I not know this?"
Wang Shu saw Gong Li wanting to speak. He stopped, as if he knew what Gong Li wanted to say.
In domestic entertainment, Gong Li is already at the ceiling level.
In this era, the ceiling of domestic entertainment is international, and if you want to be on the international stage, it is nothing more than joining Hollywood.
Gong Li has reached the ceiling level in domestic entertainment, so naturally she wants to go further.
However, Hollywood is a Western stage, and Eastern faces can have a chance to play small supporting roles here.
But if you want to play a starring role, it is not an ordinary difficulty.
In fact, Wang Shu knew in his heart that, let alone Gong Li, it would be the same even if other actors from domestic entertainment came to Hollywood.
Gong Li is an international movie queen, even one of the best.
Those like Li Binbin and Fan Binbin have not gone as far as her.
However, Hollywood is really not a place for domestic entertainment actors to hang out.
If domestic entertainment actors want to go global, there is only one way, 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 waves.
Chinese-language films have gone global and become one of the mainstream films in the world.
Uh.
Wang Shu only knows that in the future, most castings for domestic entertainment film and television works will have clearly marked prices.
Many ordinary-looking young men and young ladies from rich families pay to play the leading roles.
The entertainment industry and film and television productions not only failed to move forward, but also regressed.
The more Gong Li talked, the more upset she became. She drank the red wine in her glass in one gulp, and Wang Shu immediately poured it back.
He can't help with other things, but he can still pour wine for Gong Li.
Although he is now an Oscar-winning director, it does not mean that he can be successful by cooperating with Gong Li and using him as the heroine.
Gong Li has an oriental appearance and is also a literary and opera actress. She can only act as the heroine in specific European and American scripts.
In ordinary European and American scripts, there is no chance for her to play the heroine.
Although she can act if she is forced to act, the audience will vote with their feet when the movie is released to let the investors know their mistake.
Not to mention that the producers and investors are not fools and will not cooperate with this kind of project.
It's been several years since Gong Li came to Hollywood, and there haven't been many opportunities, which already shows this.
Wang Shu said helplessly: "The main reason why I can win awards in Hollywood is because directing is a career behind the scenes and not in front of the stage."
Of course Gong Li understands this truth, she sighed. : "But I am an actor."
After saying that, he took another sip of red wine glumly.
"Just take it one step at a time, maybe there will be a turn for the better in the future." Wang Shu expressed relief, "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 to other people's characters. Every time he takes the initiative to say it, he always means it.
Although he went to Hollywood to develop, he could do it with his own connections.
But Gong Li's recommendation truly helped him quickly get the opportunity to direct a movie in Hollywood and use this as a stepping stone to gain a foothold.
Therefore, he felt grateful to the senior Gong Li. As the saying goes, a drop of water will repay you with a spring.
Yongquan is not that bad, 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 joked: "You are already an Oscar director, what else can I refuse? If you ask me to act, I will still refuse. "No?"
Wang Shu smiled helplessly when he heard this and said, "Sister Gong Li, please don't bury me."
With Wang Shu's current status as an Oscar-winning director, he can compete with Gong in the country. Li is on par with Gong Li, but here in Hollywood she is far higher than Gong Li.
However, both of them are from the mainland, and Gong Li is a senior figure in domestic entertainment.
Furthermore, he had previously taken the initiative to help Wang Shu connect with producers in Hollywood.
Wang Shu, no matter as a junior, or for this friendship, he still needs to have the respect he deserves.
Gong Li smiled after hearing this and continued: "How can it be Mi Tai? Now in Hollywood, I have to rely on you to take care of me in the future."
After that, she joked again, "We are all from the mainland, don't forget me, your eldest sister."
Seeing this, Wang Shu shook his head helplessly, and then said seriously: "Although I know that Sister Gong Li is joking, I will definitely not forget it."
Seeing that Wang Shu said it so seriously, Gong Li felt deep in her heart. Somewhat touched, I couldn't help but ask softly: "I heard that when you went on stage to receive an award in the theater and gave your acceptance speech, the first person you thanked was me?"
It was after she heard about this incident that she I immediately called Wang Shu to congratulate him.
Wang Shuneng was the first to thank her when he gave his acceptance speech, and his intention was obvious.
It is undeniable that Wang Shu thanked the college first, but this is the norm.
Then be the first to thank her, this is what I mean.
Wang Shu happened to catch Gong Li’s eyes. Gong Li’s eyes were misty. He did not answer the question, but moved closer to Gong Li.
Gong Li felt the heat and alcohol breath from Wang Shu, and did not retreat or push him away. Instead, she seemed to be waiting.
After waiting for a while, I saw that Wang Shu was a little "cowardly" and hesitated to make the next move. He immediately put down the wine glass in his hand, then took the initiative to hug Wang Shu's head and kissed him deeply and forcefully.
After the coat came off, judging from the sexy and provocative undershirt that Gong Li wore, it was clear that Gong Li had indeed dressed up carefully before arriving at Wang Shu's apartment.
After a lot of tossing, when it was time to finish, Gong Li hurriedly took out a flat square plastic bag and handed it to Wang Shu. Her eyes seemed to be filled with mist and she whispered softly: "I brought this."
Wang Shu took a closer look and saw that it was a small umbrella that had not been unpacked.
I couldn't help but smile and praise: "You are so well prepared!"
Gong Li was not embarrassed and answered softly: "I thought you might not have it here, so I brought it. ”
Obviously, Gong Li was wrong. There are not only Wang Shu here, but also a lot
But it’s not her fault. In her eyes, Wang Shu may have lost his virginity long ago, but he is living a single life here in Hollywood.
I can only say that the eldest sister of Neiyu is indeed a eldest sister, and she is considerate!
While looking at the mountains, Wang Shu deliberately teased: "So, before you come"
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 frustrated in Berlin. Many media used the sixth-generation director and Wang Shula to ridicule the fifth-generation director. All kinds of blatant belittling of the fifth-generation director no longer aura.
Among them, Chen Kaige is particularly typical. Many media directly stated that Chen Kaige's true colors were revealed after his trip to Berlin.
This reveals his true colors, which means that he has a false reputation.
Being able to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes back then was just a matter of luck. In fact, he was just an average third-rate director.
It is no longer enough to discuss the fifth generation of directors in China. The sixth generation of directors has stepped onto the stage. The enthusiasm that the eighth generation director Wang Shu is indeed an outlier has not subsided. Regarding Wang Shu winning the Academy Award and becoming the youngest person in history. News of the Oscar director soon spread back to China.
For a time, the country no longer discussed the fifth-generation directors who were no longer good enough, and the sixth-generation directors who took to the stage. Instead, they all talked about Wang Shu Niubi.
Everyone inside and outside the circle was shocked by the news.
Oscar for Best Director!
Only Li Yu from Baodao has an Oscar for Best Director in the country. Let alone domestic entertainment directors who have Oscars, they can’t even survive in Hollywood.
For example, Chen Kaige went to Hollywood and returned home in despair.
Now, Wang Shu has not only become the first mainland Chinese to win an Oscar for Best Director, but also the youngest in the history of the Oscar.
It’s true, Niubi!
When ordinary people see this news and learn about it, nine times out of ten they will express a bullshit meaning.
The actors in the circle are different. In their thinking, Wang Shu is now an Oscar director.
With Wang Shu’s support and help, wouldn’t it be easy to go to Hollywood and step onto the international stage?
Actors in the industry see the benefits that Wang Shu can bring to them after becoming an Oscar director, and they are thinking about how to turn these benefits into reality.
In the past, if I wanted to go to Hollywood and step onto the international stage, it was difficult to get the chance.
Now, Wang Shu has won the Oscar statuette. As the youngest Oscar-winning director in history, he will definitely 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 them!
