Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 515 Dragon won the Lifetime Achievement Award, grateful to Zhang Xiao
As the creator of the global box office champion, Zhang Xiao is definitely the partner that all actors dream of.

Not to mention the classic films such as "The Truman Show", "Interstellar", "Source Code", and "Frozen", which he directed and acted in, his status as a Disney shareholder alone is enough to make many actors want to work with him. Get in touch.

···
This year's Oscars, Zhang Xiao was shortlisted for four awards, the last one being Best Director.

Whether it was "Source Code" or "Frozen", the content was obviously not enough, so Zhang Xiao failed without any surprise.

But soon, an extremely surprising thing happened.

Cheng Long, who had never been shortlisted for an Oscar, actually won a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Not only Zhang Xiao, but even Cheng Long himself was a little dazed when he heard the news.

After being stunned for a long time, he stood up, thanked the congratulators around him, and walked up to the podium with a smile.

No matter what the reason was, Zhang Xiao was naturally very happy to see Huaguo's actor receiving the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award.

When Cheng Long came over, Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi stood up at the same time and hugged him.

After Cheng Long delivered his acceptance speech, the entire Oscar awards ceremony was over.

The news that Zhang Xiao won two Oscars and Cheng Long's Oscar for Lifetime Achievement soon spread back to China.

Netizens who had been waiting for the news immediately became excited.

"Getting an Oscar is as easy as eating and drinking. This is Xiao Shen."

"In less than three years, Xiao Shen may win all the Oscars except for the actress award."

"It's normal for Xiao Shen to win the award. What surprised me is that Brother Cheng Long won the Lifetime Achievement Award."

"I wonder too, can anyone explain a little bit?"

"I guess this is the Oscar Organizing Committee's show of favor to Huaguo. There is no way, who made Huaguo the world's second largest ticket holder?"

"Don't talk nonsense upstairs! Xiao Shen has won so many Oscars, so they still need to give a lifetime achievement award to show their favor?"

"Xiao Shen relied on his own strength, so it's not considered a gesture of favor!"

"Anyway, it's a good thing for brother Cheng Long to get the Lifetime Achievement Award, and it deserves congratulations."

"That's right, that's right, congratulations to God Xiao, and brother Cheng Long."

"···"

After the Oscar Awards Ceremony, Zhang Xiao was interviewed by reporters as the winner.

"Mr. Zhang, are you disappointed that you didn't win the Oscar for Best Director?"

"No, this is what I expected. If I win an award, it will be a strange thing!"

"Mr. Zhang, when you delivered your award acceptance speech, you said that your next film is "Forrest Gump". It sounds like a literary film from the name. Are you aiming for next year's Oscars?"

""Forrest Gump" is a film that combines business and literature. Whether it is box office or Oscar, I want both."

"Mr. Zhang, do you think the box office of this movie can surpass that of "Interstellar"?"

"My friend, you really know how to joke. The production cost of my "Forrest Gump" is less than 36 million US dollars. You made it exceed [-] billion US dollars at the box office. Do you think it is possible?"

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think of Cheng Long receiving the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement?"

"Of course I'm happy for him!"

"But Mr. Cheng Long has never been shortlisted for an Oscar, don't you think he deserves it?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Xiao shook his head and said, "It's too narrow for you to say that. The Lifetime Achievement Award should not be judged by whether you are nominated for an Oscar."

"Brother Cheng Long started shooting action movies before I was born. I dare say that no actor in the world dares to do some of his dangerous moves. This is really a desperate effort."

"Our actors always say that we are feasting with our lives, but in my opinion, the ones who really feast with their lives are action actors like Brother Cheng Long. As long as there is a scene where you don't pay attention, your life may really be lost. gone."

"You are right. Brother Cheng Long has never been nominated for an Oscar, but the biggest reason is not because he is not eligible, but because of the Oscar's restrictions on the subject matter."

"For an actor who dares to fight for the quality of the film, I don't think he is not worthy of this award, but this award is not enough to prove his excellence."

What Zhang Xiao didn't know was that when he said these words, Cheng Long happened to be not far behind him, and he could hear everything he said just now clearly.

At this moment, Cheng Long was full of gratitude.

He knew very well that after what Zhang Xiao said just now, the outside world would have much less doubts about him, and Zhang Xiao had done him a big favor.

After the interview, Zhang Xiao went to the Oscar dinner.

As soon as I entered, I was surrounded by many actors.

There was no exception, all of them came to him to ask Forrest Gump to audition.

Zhang Xiaozhao accepted all the orders, and before he knew it, he already had more than 20 business cards in his hand.

At this time, Yang Mi came over, took his arm, and said, "Husband, it seems that there are many actors who want to participate in your movie, what are you going to do?"

"Spread the net widely and select carefully." Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "No matter who comes to join in the fun, I agree. When the time comes, let them compete and whoever plays well will win."

Yang Mi leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Aren't you afraid that people won't want to act after reading your script?"

Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes angrily, and said, "Come on, you think they are as blind as you!"

Yang Mi snorted and said, "Then let's wait and see."

After attending the dinner party, Zhang Xiao returned to the hotel, and handed over the audition list of Forrest Gump and the first half of the script to Chen Li, asking her to deliver it to these interested actors.

···
The next day, Little Plum Leonardo received the invitation to audition and half of the script for "Forrest Gump", and couldn't wait to read it.

After more than ten minutes, Xiao Lizi put down the script, and a resolute light burst out of his eyes.

At this time, his agent asked: "Leonardo, how about this script?"

Leonardo took a deep breath and said, "I smell Oscar."

The manager was taken aback for a moment, and then asked in disbelief, "Is it really that good?"

Leonardo said excitedly: "This Forrest Gump is an imbecile, but he has almost all the moral qualities of the Lighthouse Country, such as perseverance, loyalty, perseverance, and kindness."

"I bet, as long as there are no problems behind the script, this film will detonate the whole world."

"Genius, Mr. Zhang is really a great genius. I really find it hard to believe how a person from the Hua Kingdom can have such a deep understanding of the culture of the Lighthouse Kingdom."

The agent asked tentatively, "Can you show me the script?"

Leonardo shook his head and said, "No, Terry, we don't have time, you have to follow me to Mr. Zhang now, I want to see the whole script."

The agent smiled wryly and said, "The question is, will Mr. Zhang give it to us?"

Leonardo pursed his lips and said, "How do you know if you don't try?"

Half an hour later, Leonardo and his agent arrived at the hotel where Zhang Xiao was staying.
