Looking at Director Wei, who was smiling as always, she could only admire the old man's rich experience.

It's really not noticeable at all.

Not like her.

It will take several minutes to calm down.

Change your pants by the way.

Only then did I dare to appear in front of people like this.

Even so, she felt a little guilty.

Afraid that someone would find out.

However, Director Wei's calmness gave Guan Xiaotong confidence.

She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I had diarrhea and went to the bathroom."

The last sentence is true.

I did go to the bathroom.

Director Wei was afraid that Guan Xiaotong might say something wrong because of her youth, so he took the initiative to help Guan Xiaotong make amends: "It's okay, I just got here not long ago."

She arrives seven or eight minutes earlier than Guan Xiaotong.

Nothing was delayed.

Director Wei is a person who puts business first and will never delay important matters.

Zhang Yimou and others were very moved.

Guan Xiaotong didn't dare to move.

My legs are a little numb.

Still a little soft.

Director Wei helped her unlock a new map today.

I still feel a little scared when I think about it now.

Of course, stimulation is inevitable.

But Guan Xiaotong didn't dare to show it.

Before, when she read novels or watched TV, she always heard people saying that women would show a different expression after having sex, and those experienced people could see through it at a glance.

She didn't know whether it was true or not. Anyway, she just wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible and not attract attention.

It doesn't matter if others know that she has a close relationship with Director Wei.

It would be bad if others knew that she and Director Wei were exercising in the cinema bathroom.

The former helps enhance her background.

The latter is completely bad for her.

Director Wei also knew that he couldn't put too much pressure on young people's ability to handle complex matters, so he didn't cue Guan Xiaotong or let her steal the show, leaving more opportunities to the real creators like Zhang Yimou as always.

Of course, if Director Wei doesn't cue others, others will take the initiative to cue him.

When asked about his opinion of "Parasite," Director Wei said frankly: "If this movie was made in South Korea, I think it would win the Oscar for Best Picture."

Director Wei's words shocked everyone.

But he himself was very calm.

Everything I said was just the truth.

What are you surprised about?

The Koreans actually won an Oscar.

Director Wei believes that Zhang Yimou's film is no worse than the original.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Director Wei is optimistic that Zhang Yimou can also win an Oscar.

Director Wei added, "It has to be a Korean film. If it's directed by Director Zhang, it's hard to say. After all, the Oscars are just as shady as our country's film awards. Nationality is important, not just based on merit.

In other words, if Lee An had directed Parasite, I would also think it would have won an Oscar."

Everyone was shocked.

When he first said that, everyone thought Director Wei was joking.

When Director Wei made his additional remarks, everyone realized that he was very serious.

Zhang Yimou couldn't help but feel his heart fluttering. "Director Wei, do you really think 'Parasite' is Oscar-worthy?"

"If it's true, Director Zhang, don't get your hopes up too much for winning Best Director."

Director Wei reminded.

Zhang Yimou: “…”

Chen Daoming had previously collaborated with Director Wei on "A Family of Loyal Bravery", a film that won Director Wei the Oscar for Best Director.

Hearing Director Wei say this, Chen Daoming smiled and asked, "Why? Director Wei thinks Director Zhang's level is not as good as yours?"

Wei Jun also laughed: "Director Zhang's level is definitely higher than mine, but Director Zhang has bad luck.

If Parasite had also competed for the 2016 Oscars...it probably wouldn't have been able to beat me, after all, Director Zhang isn't as willing to spend as much on PR as I am."

Everyone laughed out loud.

Director Wei's words show his high emotional intelligence.

He first praised Zhang Yimou for being better than himself.

Secondly, he said that when he won the Oscar for Best Director two years ago, Zhang Yimou was no match for him.

But in the end, the blame was put on Oscar's public relations strategy.

It's well known... well, not really well known. Except for the sheepdogs, basically everyone who follows the Oscars knows that the Oscars are paid for public relations.

Every year, the crews competing for the Oscars spend over 10 million on public relations.

The unit is still US dollars.

If you don’t spend money, I really won’t give it to you.

Even if you spend money, it may not be given to you.

The Oscars don't have a fixed price. You have to spend money to be eligible to compete for the final award.

The domestic reward is pork.

Oscar is a blatant money grab.

If we really talk about level, Oscar is indeed higher.

Make money while standing.

Director Wei continued, “However, when I said Director Zhang had little hope this year, it wasn’t because Director Zhang was reluctant to give up PR, but rather that times have changed.

I won the Oscar for Best Director in 2016. That was probably the last glimmer of Sino-US cooperation, and both sides were still relatively friendly.

Everyone wants to carry the sedan chair of Hollywood. Hollywood wants our Chinese market, and we also hope to be recognized by Hollywood.

So, during those years, Hollywood blockbusters were making a big splash in mainland China, and I successfully won the Oscar for Best Director—not because I was truly superior to other directors in our country, but because the atmosphere demanded a brand name for our country to be recognized in Hollywood, and I was willing to spend the money, and "A Family of Loyalty" also aligns with mainstream American values, so I won it.

What Director Wei said is not entirely correct.

The atmosphere at the time was indeed like that, and Hollywood was indeed trying to show goodwill to China, but the original domestic entertainment industry was still in a state of shambles.

Director Wei is indeed better than these blue-eyed domestic entertainment bosses.

But Director Wei could only keep these words in his heart.

If you say it out loud, it will be very offensive.

Other than that, everything Director Wei said is correct. "A Family of Loyal Heroes" satirizes the problems that have arisen in our country since the opening up of the country.

The rise to wealth of the Liu family and Lianxiang is full of realistic irony.

It was a slap in the face.

This naturally conforms to mainstream American values.

As long as you satirize China, you are a good friend of the Eagle Sauce.

So when Director Wei made "A Family of Loyal Bravery", Hollywood naturally thought that Director Wei was surrendering to them.

This Best Director award was won very smoothly.

Of course, they would misunderstand, but Director Wei did not feel any psychological pressure at all.

"In fact, 'Parasite' and 'The Family' are both in line with mainstream American values."

Director Wei said, "A Family of Loyal Heroes" satirizes the prevalence of comprador merchants in China.

The satire of "Parasite" is the gap between the rich and the poor in our country.

There is no doubt that these are what foreign film awards want to see.

This is also the reason why South Korea won an Oscar for "Parasite" in its previous life. The critical nature of "Parasite" will be welcomed at any film festival in any country.

This is the nature of film awards in the entertainment industry.

Plus, the filming is really good.

So it's no surprise that they swept the award ceremony.

"But Director Zhang might be tricked by me, which could result in the Oscar not giving the award to a Chinese director."

Liang Jiahui also became interested and asked, "What did Director Wei say?"

Chen Daoming reacted.

He is the leading actor of "A Family of Loyalty" and has been to the Oscars with Director Wei. Naturally, he still remembers Director Wei's amazing actions at the Oscars ceremony.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is still vivid in my mind.

The memory is still fresh to this day.

After all, he had never seen anyone more talented than Director Wei in his life.

Hearing Director Wei say this, Chen Daoming almost laughed out loud.

"I remember when Director Wei won the Oscar for Best Director, he shouted out a deafening slogan."

As soon as Chen Daoming finished speaking, everyone reacted.

Then there was another burst of laughter.

Many of the fans present even began to applaud.

Many people still remember Director Wei’s amazing move back then.

Even Director Wei's speech is still the treasure of Station A, and its click rate remains in the top five of Station A's playback volume.

“I have always believed that as people in the arts, it is best not to talk about politics, because our practitioners are not qualified to talk about public politics based on their academic qualifications and experience.

But standing here today, I still want to say it loudly - Taiwan is a province of China.

Thank you, I have finished speaking."

Director Wei repeated his speech at the Oscars that year.

The audience applauded again.

When the applause died down, Director Wei shrugged and said, "Everyone knows that Oscar hasn't spoken to me since that incident."

Many people were laughing.

Oscar unless there is something wrong.

Otherwise, how could I possibly bother with you again?

"So I might have screwed over some Chinese directors who might win Oscars in the future."

Director Wei said: "After all, Oscar is also worried that there will be another me. Their political right is to support Taiwan.

If there were another me, they would be embarrassed.”

Although Director Wei felt that this worry was unnecessary.
