Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 191 New plan, aiming for Oscar winner!

"Xu, when is the filming of Iron Man 2 expected to start?"

"Next year, I have other plans this year."

"Xu, if Marvel invites you to be the director of their next superhero movie, would you agree?"

“I may not have time for this for the time being.”

"Xu, do you have any new plans next?"

"I might star in a movie myself."

"A Hollywood movie?"

"Yes."

“Is that a kung fu movie?”

"Unfortunately, no. If nothing unexpected happens, it should still be a movie adapted from a comic book."

"Woohoo, Xu, are you going to be a superhero yourself?"

"It is indeed possible that this possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Xu, you are so humorous!"

"..."

"..."

After walking down the red carpet, Xu Yi came to the interview area and was immediately surrounded by reporters.

He also accepted interviews from reporters very calmly.

Beside her was Zhang Ziyi, who was smiling and wearing very sexy clothes.

Unfortunately, these reporters obviously had no interest in her.

Especially after finding out that she was not Xu Yi's girlfriend.

These reporters were even less interested.

"Iron Man" has just become a global hit, and according to Hollywood convention, there will definitely be a second film.

What's more, as a comic character with a history of more than 40 years, Iron Man himself has many stories.

There is no need to worry about not having a suitable plot.

Even "Iron Man" can be made into a series of movies.

However, under normal circumstances, blockbuster movies rarely release sequels immediately in the second year.

First of all, careful preparation is required to avoid ruining the reputation.

Secondly, it is also to maximize the value of the previous part.

To date, all copyrights of "Iron Man" have not been sold yet.

He is naturally in no hurry to shoot the second part.

And he does have other plans this year.

You know, in addition to being a director, he is also a star.

It is impossible for him to stop acting just because he becomes a director.

Although the director's status is higher than that of an actor.

But in terms of popularity and attention, celebrities are definitely more popular.

This time he increased his endorsement fee to 800 million US dollars a year, and there are still brands willing to buy it.

But it's not just because he is the director of "Iron Man".

Also because he is very popular throughout Asia.

At the same time, he is also an international superstar with considerable fame around the world!

Especially with "Iron Man" grossing over 10 billion US dollars worldwide.

Ranked 7th in the global box office list.

This has raised his popularity and fame throughout Asia to a new level!
But as a Chinese.

Plus, he doesn't want to limit himself to an action star.

It is also required that the box office of the movie in which the actor stars cannot be low.

As a result, the roles he can actually play are very limited.

Fortunately, with his acting skills, he wants to overcome this problem.

It's not a difficult thing.

……

After the interview, Xu Yi walked into the Kodak Theater.

Then less than half an hour later, the 79th Academy Awards ceremony officially began.

After the host's opening remarks, former Oscar-winning actress Pepper Potts Paltrow, who played the role of "Iron Man," walked out from backstage.

She was the presenter of the first award, Best Photography.

As soon as she appeared on the stage, there was a burst of warm applause.

She was once hailed as the most underrated actress at the Oscars.

Before "Iron Man" was officially released, many people questioned whether she was suitable for the role of Pepper Potts.

After all, Pepper Potts is not only the heroine of "Iron Man".

She is also the secretary and lover of Iron Man Tony Stark.

But when she was young, Wingness Paltrow was not known for her looks.

When he filmed "Iron Man", he was already 34 years old.

It's long past its peak.

Is it appropriate to play the secretary and lover of a billionaire?

Not to mention that this billionaire is a womanizer himself.

There is never a shortage of beautiful women around me.

But this time, Wingenes Paltrow responded to these doubts very well with her "acting skills"!

Soon, Wingness Paltrow announced the winners.

The film that ultimately won Best Cinematography was "Pan's Labyrinth."

Then came Best Art Direction.

The award presenter was Nicole Kidman, and the winning film was still "Pan's Labyrinth".

Since leaving Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman's acting resources have obviously declined a lot.

However, thanks to the connections and resources accumulated when he was with Tom Cruise.

After becoming a producer, she is doing very well.

Unfortunately, she is already 40 years old and has passed the peak of her beauty... Then there was the Best Costume Design award, and the award presenter was Anne Hathaway.

Anne Hathaway, who is just 24 years old now, is not as stunning as she was in "The Princess Diaries".

But she is still at the peak of her appearance.

The final Oscar for Best Costume Design went to the costume designer of "Marie Antoinette".

The costume designer for "Curse of the Golden Flower" unfortunately lost the selection.

The big screen at the scene also gave this Chinese face a special effect.

And it can be seen that he should be attending this Oscar alone.

As for Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping.

In addition to the previous news that Zhang Weiping publicly criticized Zhou Runfa for being a big shot.

Xu Yi hasn't seen any news about them for a long time...

After Best Costume Design comes Best Makeup.

The award-winning film "Pan's Labyrinth".

Best Foreign Language Film, the winning film is "The Lives of Others" from Germany.

The Best Supporting Actress award went to Jennifer Hudson for "Dreamgirls."

Then it’s the turn of the best editing.

Kate Winslet was the award presenter.

That is the famous "shredded pork".

Naturally, Xu Yi won the golden statue of this award without any suspense!

So when Xu Yi walked onto the stage, there was an immediate burst of applause, not particularly enthusiastic.

But at least the applause was much louder than the last time he won the Best Foreign Language Film.

Meanwhile, news broke that he won the Best Editing award.

It immediately appeared on the homepages of major domestic portals.

However, this time, netizens' reactions were obviously much colder.

Compared to the global box office of over 10 billion US dollars, it only got a little golden statue for Best Editing.

It's not worth celebrating at all.

Unless it's an Oscar for Best Picture or Best Director, it's almost the same!

At the same time, there are some black fans and water armies.

I also took the opportunity to start setting the pace.

"I told you, this award will definitely go to Xu Yi!"

"With Harvey's PR, it's just a Best Editing award, it's a piece of cake!"

"Everyone in Hollywood knows that Harvey's forte is Oscar PR. He even managed to secure a Best Actress Oscar, let alone a Best Editing Oscar!"

"Maybe Harvey helped us win the Best Foreign Language Film award before!"

"Hollywood has been discriminating against Chinese people for a long time. If it weren't for Harvey's help, why wouldn't others get it?"

"And with a global box office of over $10 billion, it only received a nomination for Best Editing. Even if it won, it wouldn't be a big deal!"

"To be honest, if I were Xu Yi, I wouldn't be attending this year's Oscars!"

However, most netizens simply disdain the remarks of these black fans and internet trolls.

Whether it's Best Editing or Best Foreign Language Film.

For Xu Yi now, none of this matters anymore.

But Xu Yi’s fans are different.

If someone dares to say bad things about their brother Xu Yi, they naturally can't pretend not to see it!

"A bunch of haters are jealous of our Brother Xu Yi again!"

"Those internet trolls are obviously other entertainment companies trying to discredit our Brother Xu Yi! Especially those entertainment companies from Hong Kong and Taiwan!"

"Isn't it normal for Iron Man, a special effects blockbuster, to only receive one nomination?"

"'Pirates of the Caribbean 2' had a higher box office and was a true Hollywood film, yet it only received a few technical award nominations? And it hasn't won a single award yet!"

"Our brother Xu Yi's film, 'Love,' won the Best Foreign Language Film award and also won three awards at the Cannes Film Festival. Could someone else have helped with the PR?"

"Our brother Xu Yi can do public relations, so why can't others?"

"Zhang Yimou's film 'Hero' previously sold both the US and European copyrights to Harvey, so how come it only received a nomination but didn't win?"

"Looking at it this way, Zhang Yimou's skills are truly terrible. Even with Harvey helping him with PR, he still couldn't win an award!"

"Zhang Yimou was already the best director in China, which shows that other domestic directors are even worse!"

"As for those awards from Hong Kong and Taiwan, our brother Xu Yi won't participate. It will piss you off to death!"

"Those Golden Horse Awards, Golden Image Awards, and Golden Melody Awards, are they worthy of being compared to the Oscars?"

……

"Xu, congratulations on coming to this stage to receive the award again!"

Xu Yi walked onto the stage and hugged Kate Winslet and the host.

Host Ellen DeGeneres immediately said with a smile.

"Thank you!"

Xu Yi also said with a smile.

Then he began to speak about his acceptance speech.

After he finished his speech, the host asked, "Xu, Iron Man grossed over $10 billion worldwide, but it didn't get a Best Picture nomination, and you didn't get a Best Director nomination either. Is that a pity?"

"There are definitely regrets, but there's nothing we can do about it. Awards and box office success are sometimes so difficult to balance."

Xu Yi replied.

The supporter nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

But then Xu Yi added, "So for my next film, I'm going to focus on both awards and box office!"

"Oh? Xu, you're so confident! And I just heard that you might star in your next movie?"

The host exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right!"

Xu Yi nodded.

He added, "So for my next film, while ensuring box office success, I'm also going to aim for the Best Actor award!"

When all the stars in the audience heard him say this, they couldn't help but get agitated!
And there were bursts of exclamations!
