Chapter 744 You Are Sick

When Xiaohu heard Zhou Xia's almost demeaning rating, he couldn't help laughing angrily.

"Hehe, you can hurt me as much as you can. You didn't start that movie with your nod? Since you don't like it, why did you go!"

"I have no choice, otherwise, how your acting skills improve is not to train you." Zhou Xia said with a smile, continuing to be angry with Xiaohu.

"Hypocrisy! You pretend that I don't know the real reason. You're not here to make money. You made a lot of money in which movie, but we are reprimanded!" Xiaohu sneered and retorted.

"I earn what you earn, why are you so clear?"

"Hmph, if I don't tell you about Zhuge Liang, how much would you rate your movie?" Xiaohu grabbed Zhou Xia's arm and asked, staring at him seriously.

"My movie, with a score of seven or more, is it realistic?" Zhou Xia thought for a while, looked at Xiaohu and said.

In fact, he gave such low scores to "Little Times" and "The Breakup Master", mainly because he was deliberately angry with Xiaohu.

According to his purpose of approving these films at the time, they have basically been achieved now, so he will treat these two films more leniently, and it is not an exaggeration to give them an eight-point rating.

As for the shortcomings and faults that lead to the low rating of the movie, it was born in the womb. The original book and the script are destined to have some things that cannot be avoided. Zhou Xia would not consider these, otherwise, he would not let these movies be made.

"Above seven points? It's not high. How would you rate "Starting Line" which is the most highly rated by the outside world?" Xiaohu looked at Zhou Xia in doubt. In her eyes, all five films directed by Zhou Xia scored above eight points. Zhou Xia herself scored such a low score, which made her a little bit surprised.

Zhou Xia pondered slightly, "8 points."

"8 points, that's much lower than the scores of Douban, Miaoyan, and Time. Why are you so strict with yourself?" Xiaohu looked at Zhou Xia in surprise.

On Douban, Zhou Xia scored 9 points for this movie, surpassing "To Live", which is a higher score than Chinese-language movies, and "Farewell My Concubine" is only [-] points lower than the [-] points of "Farewell My Concubine".

It can be seen that the domestic audience's recognition of "Starting Line", which is called a new classic of literary and artistic films in the new era, is by no means in vain. Moreover, some domestic scholars and experts even called Zhou Xia a new world-class director in China.

Now, the movie has been screened in various Asian countries. In East Asian countries with similar cultural backgrounds to China, "Starting Line" has achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success. These all prove the high standard of Zhou Xia's movie.

"It's not harsh, it's just an objective evaluation. I also evaluate the films of other directors in the same way. For example, "Avatar", which has great innovation and influence in technology, I only rate [-] points." Zhou Xia said casually.

As a professional, he evaluates movies not only by genre, but also by cultural attributes such as humanistic thoughts and philosophical connotations.

"Okay, you are amazing, let's not talk about this. Didn't your "Starting Line" apply for the Oscar foreign language film? The awards will be selected at the beginning of next month, and you haven't mentioned it. What's going on?"

The little fox had to think of this matter, so he hurriedly asked.

"This has been in operation for a long time last year, but don't think too much about it. This film does not have the elements of foreign language film awards." Zhou Xia raised her brows, shook her head and laughed, very happy about it.

The Oscars in Hollywood tend to lean toward the right, with typical American values, but foreign language films are different, leaning toward the left, and his film does not meet this standard.

Moreover, "Starting Line" has already been offline, and there is no need to promote it to increase popularity, so Zhou Xia did not let Zhang Zhao report for the Golden Globe Awards held in January, but gave it to the company's other literary film "Dear".

The Golden Globe Award, known as the "weathervane" of the Oscars, has often drifted away in recent years. For example, last year in [-], the Golden Globe Award winner for best director "Escape from Tehran" director Ben Affleck was not even nominated for the Oscar Award for Best Director. .

But most of the time, this weathervane is still very accurate. In Zhou Xia's memory, in 2014, the main awards of the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars were exactly the same.

Best film, best director, best actor and actress, best animation, best foreign language film and other awards belong exactly the same.

The best films are all "12 Years a Slave"; the best foreign language films are all Italian films "City Beautiful"; the best animated films are all "Frozen" and the best directors are all directors of "Gravity" Alfonso Zoro...

The film "The Great Gatsby", which starred Xiao Li and was nominated for Best Actor again, only received two nominations.

It is because the subject matter and content of the film do not match the value that Oscar insists on. The luck is not good, and there is a film like "12 Years a Slave" that involves racial awakening and rights. Naturally, it can only miss the award like other films.

On the contrary, Zhou Xia's "Starting Line" has a realistic theme, but it has no dark, cruel, extreme, radical and other elements, and it has a happy ending in the end. Therefore, it does not qualify for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, so the award may be very small.

Seeing that Zhou Xia was still not in high spirits, Xiaohu became even more puzzled. She blinked her eyes and reached out to grab Zhou Xia's weapon: "What's wrong with you today? You're not in high spirits. Come on, let my sister give you some refills." energy."

"Don't make trouble, it won't work today." Zhou Xia was no longer surprised by Xiaohu's driving, but he was still in the stage of retreat, so he could only refuse her.

"No, didn't you say that men can say anything, absolutely not?" Xiaohu ignored Zhou Xia, and sat on his lap to make a fuss.

"It's not that, I'm in a bad mood today." Zhou Xia said helplessly, holding her down to keep her from moving.

"Are you okay? What are you doing in America?" Xiaohu looked at Zhou Xia with a funny face, and couldn't help joking, "Did you go to America to see your illness?"

"You are sick!" Zhou Xia couldn't help but annoyed.

"Yi Yi, you got angry with me. We need to be treated when we are sick, and we can't hide the disease from the doctor. You see, it's been so long, and you are young, so I don't have the nerve to advise you. Find the problem early and cure it early. In this way Only someone like you can inherit the family business, otherwise, wouldn’t our whole life be in vain?”

Xiaohu unexpectedly had a very good temper. He took Zhou Xia's hand and gently persuaded him, obviously on purpose.

Zhou Xia was confused by her, knowing that she said that on purpose, but in the current situation as a guide, she could only laugh and say: "Okay, what you said makes sense, let me tell you the truth, I'm going to see a doctor Well, the doctor asked me to abstain for three to four months and then go for a review, so I can’t do it today, and I won’t do it in the next three months.”

"Really?" Xiaohu looked at Zhou Xia suspiciously. The two often joked around. Sometimes when the truth was told as lies, Xiaohu really couldn't judge for a while.

"Forget it if you don't believe it."

"Okay, then let's listen to the doctor." Xiaohu didn't care about the truth, and responded casually.

"Xiaohu, what do you think if I adopt a child?" Zhou Xia took the opportunity to test her when she saw her like this.

Otherwise, if the real child is brought back in the future, we don't know what will happen.

"What did you say? Adopt a child?" Xiaohu stared at Zhou Xia with wide eyes, and said in a low voice, "You mean, are you really not good at it?"

At this time, she really believed what Zhou Xia said earlier.

"No, it has nothing to do with whether I'm good or not. Besides, you don't know if I'm good or not!" Zhou Xia pinched her chin with her hand and said angrily.
