Chapter 756 Attending the Oscar Awards Ceremony
And another piece of good news surprised Zhou Xia, he didn't pay attention to it before.

More accurately, it should be said that Xiahua Film and Television Company did not pay much attention to it, and did not report to him the progress of this low-budget literary film.

"Massage", directed by Lou Ye and starring Huang Xuan, Xie Xiaodong, and Qin Hao, was well received at the Berlin Film Festival, and finally won the Silver Bear Award for Best Art.

Zhou Xia still remembered that he approved to invest in this movie the year before last, but the company obviously didn't report to him about the follow-up matters.

After all, the original investment of this movie was only 500 million, which is less than the investment of most TV dramas.

Now Zhou Xia has too many things to do, unless the project is more than 5000 million, the relevant important matters will be reported to him and asked to sign for review.

Only projects with more than [-] million will take the initiative to report the progress to him in detail and ask for his opinion.

After all, Zhou Xia has been delegating power, and he doesn't want to ask too much about the company's affairs. Sometimes he just glances at the documents submitted by the company and signs them.

Zhou Xia likes "Massage", a film about blind masseuses, and is happy for them to win the award. On Weibo, he also likes and congratulates the creators of the two award-winning films, and reposts the award-winning Weibo published by the company. Bo.

As a result, Zhou Xia just finished operating Weibo, and within a minute, Xiaohu called.

Zhou Xia guessed that she was either asking for comfort or care, or acting like a baby, looking forward to seeing each other soon, but she still got through the phone.

"Yiyi, I'm so sad."

As soon as the phone was connected, Xiaohu's voice came over: "You don't know how to call to comfort people. You are filming in Romania, and they are in Berlin. You don't even come to see them."

Zhou Xia felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard that, and said quickly, "I'm already in Africa. I just left Libya's Tripoli International Airport and I'm on my way to the hotel."

"What, I originally wanted to visit the set and watch you filming."

"Let's forget it. It's not convenient for us. There are too many things to delay."

"Really, then the Oscars will be presented in a week, don't you want to go?"

"Go, but I'll be there that day."

"Okay then, we'll see you when the time comes. I won't delay you. It's almost ten o'clock now. I heard that your place is not safe, so you have to protect yourself. See you in Hollywood."

"Well, I got it. Why, you're going to Hollywood too?" Zhou Xia was a little surprised, is Xiaohu going to rub the red carpet?
"That's right, not only me, Sisi and Yufei will also go, we all have brand activities, see you then, bye."

"See you then, bye."

After hanging up with Xiaohu, I arrived at the International Hotel named after Tripoli, the capital of Libya, after 10 minutes.

This hotel has 24 floors and is very luxurious. The streets are also brightly lit. It is not the imaginary picture of poverty in Africa.

Libya is a country in North Africa, located on the southern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, adjacent to Egypt. The capital, Tripoli, has a population of 140 million. Before the fall of the Gaddafi regime, it was much more prosperous here.

However, due to the war in the past two years, Tripoli suffered certain war damage. Although the opposition and the government have signed an armistice agreement, they have not yet reached a final peace agreement.

Therefore, the two sides often still have conflicts and wars on the armistice line, which is why the United Nations has always sent peacekeeping troops.

And Xiahua Film and Television sent people here four months ago to prepare various shooting needs, such as scenes, props, especially the venues needed for shooting military scenes.

In addition, [-] military trucks used to transport people and goods have also been brought in. After the filming is over, these trucks and other materials will be donated to the local area.

Of course, there are some armored vehicles, tanks, firearms and other weapons that the relevant departments helped to transport, but they are still with the Chinese peacekeeping force.

Zhou Xia is now going to the hotel in a bulletproof car specially driven by the security personnel responsible for the safety of the crew.

After arriving at the hotel, it was already past ten o'clock, and it was too late. Zhou Xia and his party did not disturb the others, and hurriedly went to rest.

The next scene filmed here is what happened when the protagonist stayed in the peacekeeping camp for 8 months.

Because of the hero's mysterious and unstable job, the heroine and the hero have terminated their relationship for several months.

When the male protagonist was stationed in the camp for peacekeeping, the female protagonist Jiang Muyan was arranged to join the Imperial Doctors and Experts Volunteer Group as an outstanding backbone of the hospital because she offended the hospital leaders. and other medical assistance.

The male protagonist is in charge of receiving the team of doctors and experts from the imperial capital. When meeting the female protagonist, the two were once very embarrassed because of their previous relationship.

In order to alleviate the embarrassing relationship between the two, the male protagonist made a landmine joke with the female protagonist after the camp, and the relationship with the female protagonist eased, becoming more and more familiar, and the relationship became closer...

This part of the scene is actually the plot of the Uruk camp in the original TV series.

It's just that the location and background are different. The setting time is the time when the first phase of the UN peacekeeping force entered after the war in Libya and the security environment was very poor.

At that time, war hopes often occurred outside the Libyan capital, so there will be hostage-taking in the film, and there will be wars with mobs and so on.

After a good night's rest, Zhou Xia became busy the next day.

Now the whole crew is reunited again and will be filming here for a period of two months.

With Zhou Xia, the director and chief person in charge, the production crew was obviously more efficient, and the filming went much smoother.

But Zhou Xia was going to attend the Oscars, so he was busy with the crew for a week. On the morning of March 3, he left the crew, first flew to Milan, and then flew to Los Angeles to attend the Hollywood Awards.

This year, because the Chinese film "Starting Line" was nominated for the best foreign language film, the domestic media paid special attention to this awards ceremony.

Several major portal websites, as well as major video websites, etc., have sent reporters to Hollywood to track and report the latest news.

第86届奥斯卡金像奖表彰2013年电影表演及制作成就的奖项，颁奖典礼于帝都时间2014年3月3日上午09:30（当地时间2日05:30，）在洛杉矶好莱坞的杜比剧院内举行。

Due to the time difference between Europe and North America, Zhou Xia took a 01-hour plane and arrived in Hollywood, but it was 30:[-] in the afternoon, and there were still four hours before the awards ceremony that started in the evening, so there was still plenty of time.

Zhou Xia is not a female artist, she needs to do styling and try on dresses, which can save at least three hours.

He and his assistant Xiaobai got in the car sent by the company to pick up the plane, and went directly to the hotel where the other people from Xiahua Film and Television were staying to meet them.

After Zhou Xia arrived, he took a bath, had a meal, and regained his energy, then changed into a dress and put on some make-up before going to see other people.

Sure enough, apart from Tangtangwai who attended the awards ceremony with him, Xiaohu, Sisi, and Yufei were all chatting enthusiastically in a luxury suite.

In addition, Yang Tianzhen and their assistants were also there, but none of Zhang Zhao and the North American branch were there.

After Zhou Xia greeted a few people, and was about to ask, Yang Tianzhen came up and said, "Boss, Mr. Zhang and the people from the North American company are at the Oscar-designated hotel, let me wait here for you to make arrangements, and then send you and Tangtang there .”
