China Entertainment started in 2004

Wang Shu smiled when he heard this.

Anne Hathaway seemed to be speaking with envy, but in fact she had other intentions.

She came from Disney and became famous when she debuted, but she has never won the Oscar for Best Actress.

On the contrary, Stone Sister, who is not a professional actor, became an Oscar winner at a young age.

Anne Hathaway felt really bad.

"Annie, you are a very good actor. One day you will get your own acting award." Wang Shu noticed the other party's emotions and comforted her softly.

Anne Hathaway looked at Wang Shu and said, "One day...when will it be?"

Smart people don't speak in code. Wang Shu understood the other person's meaning and said, "I haven't had a break in many years since my debut. I plan to take a break for a while before working again."

"Ah?" Anne Hathaway was surprised. She thought Wang Shu would press on with his victory and make another art film to compete for next year's Oscars and strive to win the Academy Award for Best Director for the fourth consecutive year. She didn't expect that he would take a rest.

The other party is only 25 years old, which is the age to pursue a career. Why would he take a rest?

Wang Shu laughed and said, "Compared to other directors, I am already very productive."

"Now that I've made some money and won an award, I should enjoy life. Don't you think so?"

Anne Hathaway was speechless after hearing this. Wang Shu is not an actor, but a professional director behind the scenes. He does not have the age anxiety that actors have to face. Moreover, for a director, taking a break for a while may relax his mind and he will be able to shoot better works in the future...

and so……

"Ah~" Anne Hathaway sighed softly and said, "If you want to rest, then take a rest."

She didn't say anything more, because Wang Shuming said he wanted to rest, and it would be tactless and ruin the mood to discuss acting appointments with him at this time.

……

After the Academy Awards dinner, Wang Shu returned to the villa.

Just as he came back, Fan Binbin came right after.

As for Stone, she won the Best Actress award and celebrated with her friends after the dinner.

That night, Wang Shu didn't know whether he was wrong or what, but Fan Binbin was very proactive.

The two of them were discussing their life ideals late at night, while it was daytime in China and major media outlets were reporting on his winning of the Academy Awards for three consecutive years.

Sina: "China is proud! The 83rd Academy Awards has come to an end. Director Wang Shu became the first director in the world to win the Academy Award for Best Director for three consecutive times."

Tencent: "Incredibly, the first director in the world to win the Academy Award for Best Director for three consecutive years is from China, he is Director Wang Shu!"

Baidu: "Another miracle! Congratulations to Director Wang Shu for becoming the first director in the world to win the Academy Award for Best Director for three consecutive times!"

Sohu: “…”

Not only that, even the TV news reported on the incident.

He is the first director in the world to win the Academy Award for Best Director for three consecutive times!

It is the mainland director Wang Shu!

For a time, many people in the mainland felt proud.

The mainland entertainment industry has always been suppressed by the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment industries. Now, not only has the mainland produced movies that have grossed over 1 billion yuan, but the market is also surpassing that of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Now, mainland China's Wang Shu has surpassed directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan in both his achievements in commercial films and in art films.

Surpass in all aspects.

Now, I can finally hold my head high!

……

"I didn't expect that Director Wang would become the first director in the world to win the Academy Award for Best Director for three consecutive times!" Deng Chao looked at Sun Li beside him and said in amazement.

"With Director Wang's talent, he should have won the award." Sun Li also learned about Wang Shu's award and responded.

Deng Chao said, "That being said, Director Wang is a director from our mainland after all. I never thought that the organizers of the Academy Awards would allow a director from our mainland to become the first director in the world to win the Best Director Award for three consecutive times."

"Can't the Oscars be fair and just?" Sun Li snorted.

"The Oscars are fair and just? Are you kidding me?" Deng Chao complained.

Sun Li continued to hum after hearing this, "You said that the organizers of the Oscars would not allow Director Wang to become the first director in the world to win the Oscar for three consecutive years. Now Director Wang has won the award. Isn't that fair and just?"

Deng Chao was speechless for a moment when he heard this.

As far as he knows, the Oscars, like all film awards around the world, have no such thing as fairness.

It’s just that compared to the Hong Kong Film Awards which are controlled by certain people, the Oscars are more “fair and just”.

But it's just a comparison, and that's actually the case.

He opened his mouth and said to himself, "Is it really fair and just?"

After saying this, he subconsciously didn't believe it.

"What else?" Sun Li asked back.

These days, Deng Chao has been analyzing in her ear from all angles how it is difficult for Wang Shu to win the Best Director Award for three consecutive times at the Academy Awards.

The various analyses are well-reasoned and well-founded.

Since Deng Chao's analysis did not involve the quality of "La La Land", but only considered that the Oscars are an American award, that Wang Shu is a mainland director, and the situation between China and the United States, etc., Sun Li felt that it made more and more sense the more she listened, and gradually felt that it would be difficult for Wang Shu to win an Oscar this year.

Now that Wang Shu has won another Oscar for Best Director, Sun Li feels that Deng Chao’s previous analysis was bullshit.

"Uh..." Deng Chao opened his mouth. He didn't believe that the Academy Awards were fair and just.

Then he said: "There may be some reasons we don't know. Anyway, the Oscars can't be fair and just."

"Ha~" Sun Li chuckled and said, "La La Land is a big hit in the United States. News reports say that the emergence of this movie has even triggered a revival of American musicals. If Director Wang doesn't win an award, who will?"

"If a film that sparked the revival of American musicals doesn't win an award, won't it make the Oscars controversial?"

"Especially given that La La Land has won awards at both the Golden Globe Awards and the British Academy Awards, if it didn't win an Oscar, do you think the Oscars would be questioned?"

When Deng Chao heard this, he couldn't find any words to refute it, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Is this really the reason?"

Having said that, I felt as if, maybe it was true.

He immediately analyzed: "Don't tell me, maybe it's really the case."

"The only two Oscars related to Director Wang are Best Picture and Best Director, and Director Wang must win one of these two awards." "Best Picture is the biggest award, and the Oscars obviously don't want to give it to Director Wang."

"Then, only the Best Director Award remains."

Sun Li said with a smile: "So... Director Wang is so talented that the Oscars had to give him a big award."

Deng Chao nodded. He felt that Wang Shu was able to continue to win the Academy Award for Best Director because the organizers of the Oscars cared about the reputation of the Oscars.

Only for this reason could Wang Shu, a mainland director, become the first director in the world to win the Academy Award for Best Director three times in a row on the Oscar stage.

Then he said, "I wonder if Director Wang will take a break after winning another Oscar for Best Director this time?"

"I think so, right?" Sun Li said what she guessed in her heart, "Since Director Wang has decided to take a break, he should take a break regardless of whether he wins an Oscar or not."

"Alas~" Deng Chao sighed, "If only Director Wang didn't take a break and returned to China to make a movie, maybe he'd have a chance to get a role."

"Haha." Sun Li laughed when she heard that, "You're dreaming."

"Think about it, it's always good..." Deng Chao continued, "Now that Director Feng doesn't need me, even if I can still participate in other directors' movies at Huayi, if I participate in movies other than Director Feng's at Huayi, my career development will be slower."

"For example, Zhang Hanyu, who starred in director Wang's debut art film, and then starred in director Feng's film, became a first-line actor."

Sun Li also knows the difference between starring in a movie directed by a well-known director and starring in a movie directed by an unknown director in China. She could only sigh and said, "If you hadn't said something irrelevant at the premiere of Assembly, Director Feng wouldn't have been angry. Now you might have the opportunity to star in Director Feng's movie."

"Alas, everything has passed, why bring it up again?" Deng Chao didn't want to talk about it.

Sun Li complained: "Director Feng is too petty. It's just a small matter. Is there any need to hold such a grudge?"

Deng Chao continued, "Director Feng felt that I had embarrassed him, so he blocked me in his heart."

"I can't help it. He's a big director, so he has no shortage of actors to work with."

"Even many big-name actors are vying to work with him."

"For him, banning a small actor like me in his heart is harmless."

Deng Chao paused here, and then continued, "After all, in this circle, you have to be strong yourself."

"If I were a big director, I wouldn't be so angry."

After that, he looked at Sun Li and said, "It's useless to say these things now. I just hope that I can have the opportunity to learn from Director Wang's crew in the future."

Sun Li understood what he meant and continued softly, "I'll talk to Director Wang when I get a chance. He probably won't refuse for my sake."

"I definitely won't refuse." Deng Chao said with a smile, "You've worked with him on a TV series and two movies. With such a close relationship, how could you refuse such a small request?"

"Oh." Sun Li sneered, "You have a good idea."

"There are many actors in China who have worked with Director Wang many times. If they all think like you, would Director Wang be annoyed?"

"If Director Wang gets annoyed, will he still give me face?"

When Deng Chao heard this, he also thought it made sense.

It makes sense, but we have to do it.

Then he said, "No matter what, we have to give it a try."

"If I become the director, then you will be the leading actress. This is something that will benefit both of us."

"Haha." Sun Li gave Deng Chao a laughing face in response.

Deng Chao knew that Sun Li was joking, so he was not angry and said, "Anyway, becoming a director is always good."

This is the truth, Sun Li nodded without comment.

Deng Chao then asked: "Now that Director Wang has decided to take a break, when will he return home?"

"How should I know that?" Sun Li rolled her eyes.

Deng Chao said to himself, "I think... Director Wang won't stay in Los Angeles for long. Since he wants to rest, he will most likely not rest in Los Angeles but return to China."

"How about we visit again then?"

In this world, even family relationships need to be managed, not to mention non-family relationships, which need to be managed even more.

Deng Chao understood the logic behind this. Since he wanted help from Wang Shu, he needed to manage his interpersonal relationships.

Otherwise, why would others help you?
"Let's wait until Director Wang returns to China." Sun Li didn't want to spoil the nature of Deng's money, so she responded like this.

Deng Chao nodded and said, "No matter what, we have to visit Director Wang, otherwise it will be difficult to ask Director Wang for help in the future."

"In the future?" Sun Li pursed her lips and said, "Liu Yan also said before that she would visit Director Wang, so we can invite her to come along then."

Sun Li said this on purpose.

When talking about this issue, adding Liu Yan to the discussion gives people the feeling that there is nothing fishy going on between her and Wang Shu.

Because, if there is something fishy, ​​they wouldn't call other people into it.

Deng Chao opened his mouth and said, "Why call Liu Yan? We can just go together."

Sun Li knew that Deng Chao would say this, so she added: "Liu Yan has told me several times that he asked me to go visit Director Wang together."

"If we go, we can just invite her to come along."

Seeing that Deng Chao was hesitant to speak, he said, "Liu Yan is alone and wants to find someone to accompany her."

Deng Chao thought for a moment and said, "If Director Wang returns, we will go visit him first, and then you can visit him later if you have the chance."

Sun Li pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Can't we be together?"

Deng Chao naturally didn't want to go with Liu Yan, because he went to visit Wang Shu to improve their friendship. With Liu Yan, an outsider, around, he couldn't lose face, so he said, "Just do as I say. We'll go first, and you guys can go later when we have a chance."

"Okay." Sun Li nodded reluctantly.

Deng Chao changed the subject and said, "Liu Yan... wants to visit Director Wang. He should be asking for a role in the movie, right?"

Sun Li rolled her eyes and asked back, "Aren't you talking nonsense? In the entire entertainment industry, who among the actors who want to visit Director Wang doesn't want to ask for a role in a movie?"

"Uh~" Deng Chao was ridiculed like this, and smiled awkwardly, "You said...if Liu Yan asked Director Wang for a role, would Director Wang give her the role?"

After saying that, he immediately reminded, "You know, Liu Yan has the title of Tree Girl!"

As we all know, Liu Yan was discovered by Wang Shu and entered the entertainment industry, otherwise she would have been an unknown little host before.

"How would I know?" Sun Li responded, and then analyzed, "But... Liu Yan was brought into the entertainment industry by Director Wang after all. If she asks Director Wang for a role, I can't guarantee a role like the heroine, but I don't think Director Wang would be stingy with supporting roles." (End of this chapter)
