Chapter 496: Then don’t move
It’s night in the United States, but it happens to be daytime in China.
On the set of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword", many staff members and actors are talking about Wang Shu winning the Oscar for Best Director.
An Yixuan came close to Deng Chao and said softly and cutely: "Brother Chao, I just heard that Director Wang won the Academy Award for Best Director."
< br>She is from Baodao, and her speech has the cooing tone of a Baodao woman.
"Ah? Did you really win the Best Director Award?" Deng Chao exclaimed when he heard the news for the first time.
"Of course." An Yixuan answered with a smile, and then added, "Director Wang will be the second Oscar-winning director among our Chinese film directors besides Director Li Eucalyptus."< br>
She specifically mentioned Li Eucalyptus, with a slightly proud look on her face, indicating that her island also had an Oscar-winning director.
“Haha.” Deng Chao smiled and did not refute.
An Yixuan blinked and said with a smile: "Brother Chao, didn't you say you introduced Director Wang to me last time? When?"
When Deng Chao heard this, he thought to himself, isn't there a great director Li Yu in Baodao? You are from his hometown. If you ignore the great director from your hometown, why do you know Wang Shu?
But he responded: "Director Wang is in Hollywood right now. I don't know when he will return to China, and I don't know if he will have any time in his schedule after returning to China."
"So it's not urgent. I will definitely introduce you to you if I have the opportunity in the future."
An Yixuan curled her lips after hearing this. Although she was not satisfied with the answer, she also knew that was the case.
And she would say this just to remind Deng Chao so that he would not forget.
After chatting with An Yixuan for a while, Deng Chao took out his cell phone and made a call to Sun Li.
"Lili, I heard from the crew that Director Wang won the Academy Award for Best Director?" Deng Chao said impatiently.
Hearing this, Sun Li answered angrily: "Director Wang won the award, why are you so excited?"
"Haha, I won't be participating in the show soon. It's a Hollywood movie directed by an Oscar-winning director." Deng Chao said in a playful manner.
"What kind of participation? Just a small supporting role, okay?" Sun Li struck without hesitation.
"Hehe." Deng Chao answered with a smile, "This time I am a guest in a supporting role. Next time or in the future, I can play the leading role."
Sun Li heard the words and snorted: "You think so "What does it mean to be beautiful?" Deng Chao said with a smile, "Director Wang's company does not act as an artist agent. In other words, actors from the entire entertainment industry have the opportunity to participate in his movies. As long as you are chosen by Director Wang, it is not impossible to play the leading role."
"Do you understand the principle of getting the first one who is close to the water?"
"As long as you have a good relationship with Director Wang, It’s definitely easier for us to get roles than others.”
Sun Li was silent for a moment after hearing this. She didn't know whether Deng Chao could get the role. She was confident that she would definitely get the role.
Recalling Wang Shu's appearance in his mind, a faint smile appeared on his pretty face.
She believes that Wang Shu has her in his heart, and if there is a role suitable for her, he will definitely ask her to play it.
Correspondingly, she was relatively calm and not in a hurry.
So he hummed and said: "Director Wang not only knows us, he knows a lot of people, so just put aside those messy thoughts and just be on the crew filming."
< br>
"What do you mean by messy thoughts?" Deng Chao said angrily, "Lili, you have to understand that it is precisely because there are many people who know Director Wang that they all have such thoughts, so we cannot be left behind."
" If we fall behind, Director Wang will only have them in his eyes, but not us."
This is the truth, but Sun Li disagrees.
Because she was confident that Wang Shu would never miss her.
It’s just that I couldn’t say these words, so I responded helplessly: “Then what do you think we should do?”
"What else can I do? Of course I am calling to congratulate Director Wang for winning the award." Deng Chao was speechless, "There must be many people calling to congratulate Director Wang for winning the award."
"I'm not familiar with Director Wang. , the call will not be made.”
“You have worked with Director Wang twice, and you are already familiar with it. It’s time to make this call.”
Sun Li opened her mouth after hearing this. : "But over there in the United States, it's late at night now."
After Sun Li's reminder, Deng Chao also realized this, and then said: "We'll fight again at night. Anyway, we can't forget this matter."
Then he said earnestly, "Director Wang is now an Oscar director. With Director Wang's help and support, we may be able to directly step onto the international stage and take this shortcut, which will save many years of hard work. "
When Sun Li heard this, something suddenly moved in her heart.
There was no chance before. Even if she wanted to step into the international stage, she had no way. She could only think about it in her heart and envy Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi.
Now, a great opportunity lies before us.
After Deng Chao’s reminder, she suddenly realized that with Wang Shu’s help, wouldn’t it be possible to become an international star like Zhang Ziyi with Li Yu’s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”?
After that, if you can act in a few more Hollywood movies directed by Wang Shu, wouldn't you be in Hollywood?
Furthermore, if she could participate in an Oscar-winning film directed by Wang Shu and win a statuette, wouldn’t she be an international actress? !
This is even more exciting than starring in one of the top three award-winning movies in Europe!
"Xun'er. Director Wang is now an Oscar director. With his help, you should be able to step onto the international stage like Zhang Ziyi." Chen Kun whispered.
There were three people sitting next to him, namely Zhou Xun, Liu Ruoyin and Jiang Qingqing.
The four of them were drinking coffee in the coffee shop opened by Zhou Xun.
Many well-known actors in Beijing have opened shops, not for making money, but just for a sudden idea and an idea from their youth.
For example, Zhou Xun’s coffee shop has been losing money and has never made a profit.
Fortunately, she bought the store directly when she opened the store. Therefore, not counting the cost of buying the store, decoration, facilities, etc., she also lost some labor costs every month. Compared to having a coffee shop where you can make your own decisions, where you can sit down with friends and drink coffee and chat at any time, the money is not worth mentioning.
The four of them drank coffee and talked about Wang Shu winning the award. Chen Kun said this.
When Liu Ruoyin and Jiang Qingqing heard this, they looked at Zhou Xun with envy in their eyes.
Lucky Liu, she is both an actress and a singer, has a lot of resources, and has developed well in both.
Jiang Qingqing is different. She is a TV drama actress and has few film resources, let alone film resources that can enter the international stage.
Therefore, she envied Zhou Xun from the bottom of her heart for having such an opportunity.
But Zhou Xun shook his head and said: "Director Wang has just won the Oscar for Best Director in Hollywood, but he has just established himself there."
"Even if we support our domestic It will be the future when an actor steps onto the international stage."
This is the truth, but
Liu Ruoyin said at the right time: "Not necessarily."
Seeing a few people. He looked over and then said: "Do you still remember that after Director Li Yu won the Oscar for Best Director in 2005, he returned to China and filmed "Lust, Caution"?"
"Perhaps Director Wang will return to China after filming "Life of Pi" to prepare for a global blockbuster."
Li Yu won the Academy Award for "Brokeback Mountain" in 2005. won the Best Director Award, and started filming "Lust, Caution" in September 2006.
When the three heard this, they looked at each other in unison.
Jiang Qingqing couldn't help but answer: "I heard that Director Han has always wanted to continue to cooperate with Director Wang in making blockbusters."
"Maybe. Maybe that's true."
Of course Zhou Xun and Chen Kun also knew this, and understood that what Liu Ruoyin said was indeed possible.
Chen Kun looked at Zhou Xun and said: "Xun'er, you are familiar with Wang Shu, you can call and ask about this matter."
His suggestion also has his own selfish motives. .
If Wang Shu really has an idea, he can be the first to see if he can get the role to avoid too much competition in the future.
Seeing that Zhou Xun was still hesitating, he continued, "If you don't ask, Li Binbin and the others will definitely ask."
The implication is that if they can think of this, so can others.
Among them, Li Binbin is included.
When Zhou Xun heard this, he was no longer silent and immediately responded: "It should be late at night in the United States. I will call him again at night."
Domestic night time , America is daytime.
Jiang Qingqing sat aside and listened to the conversation between Zhou Xun and Chen Kun. She hesitated to speak, as if she wanted to speak but couldn't.
She has also acted in movies, but she doesn’t have many resources.
In the entertainment industry, TV drama actors are inferior to movie actors.
Especially in this era, class is particularly obvious.
Otherwise, Deng Chao would not have wanted to be in the film industry.
As an actor, Jiang Qingqing naturally wants to join the film industry.
I just suffer from the lack of resources and opportunities.
Seeing Zhou Xun agree, Chen Kun joked: "Haha, if Director Wang really has this plan, Xun'er might be the next actress from our country to step onto the international stage."
Although Liu Ruoyin and Jiang Qingqing knew that Chen Kun was joking, they were still envious.
After all, it is an international stage, and who doesn’t want to stand on it and enjoy the scenery?
Compared to the envy of Liu Ruoyin and Jiang Qingqing, Zhou Xun gave Chen Kun an annoyed look after hearing this.
It is indeed late at night in Los Angeles, USA.
The apartment where Wang Shu lives is currently doing his best to contribute to human reproduction.
Suddenly, Gong Li's cell phone rang.
She touched it and saw that it was Huang Hexiang calling.
Immediately threw the phone aside without rejecting or answering.
Huang Hexiang is the Singaporean whom Gong Li married out of anger after she had a falling out with the national teacher.
It’s just that the two of them are not compatible. After getting married, they have been spending less time together and more time doing their own things.
In the original timeline, it was during this time that the two officially divorced.
“Who called?” Wang Shu asked suspiciously when he saw Gong Li not answering.
"Huang Hexiang." Gong Li said these three words without wanting to say more.
Wang Shu was stunned when he heard this and thought to himself: Why is Huang Hexiang calling at this time?
It’s not about divorce, right?
Is it necessary to talk at this point in time?
Seeing the phone ringing non-stop, she said helplessly: "You'd better answer it, otherwise it keeps ringing."
Hearing this, Gong Li's foggy eyes focused on gritting her teeth to answer. : "Then don't move"
