God-level acting, when will we understand Chapter 319

When the media continuously reported that Shao Yingxiong Berlin won the Double Bear, no one would have thought that he would basically Shao Yingxiong, who could not be seen on the streets of Hollywood, turned out to be a husband. This Coca-Cola spoiled a bunch of media people, and the paparazzi followed them like crazy. As a result, the group of paparazzi disappeared, and Shao Yingxiong actually arrived at a place where many film workers in Hollywood often gather. Restaurant. The shy look when she stood at the door of the restaurant was like a big girl going on a blind date for the first time. In short, nothing looked right and she didn't dare to move.

The Hollywood media is not a vegetarian. These guys dare to use anything, including black celebrity computers, black celebrity mailboxes, and digging through trash cans. Anyway, they will do anything to dig out news. But Shao Yingxiong and Hollywood actresses really have nothing to do with each other. The only time they felt something unusual was when it was reported that Shao Yingxiong and Fan Bingbing had dinner in a high-end French restaurant. However, Hollywood did not have any reaction to this news at the time. People He doesn't seem to care much about the private life of Shao Yingxiong, a Chinese star. What's especially annoying is that this news also alarmed the media in Xiangjiang. They found that the media in Xiangjiang had been following Shao Yingxiong for a long time after the news appeared. It was not clear whether they had dug up anything.

After waiting for a long time, I finally saw Shao Yingxiong’s movements. I thought I could dig out some news, but I didn’t expect to encounter...

No!

It’s Jason Statham!

"Henry, don't sleep. Shao Yingxiong is having a private meeting with Jason Statham."

The man in the car suddenly woke up and squinted at the English sign posted in the restaurant. The floor-to-ceiling window said: "Shao is already married. Nothing will happen to Jason, right?"

"Then what is he doing here? Only the awards season is the hottest place here. This time period is here It's of no use, not to mention that Shao Yingxiong's "Pro-**" didn't achieve any results at the Oscars, and it didn't even appear as a finalist..."

"It can't be with friends. Just for a meal? He and Jason filmed Sylvester's movie "The Expendables" together." Jason Statham looked at Shao Yingxiong, who was sitting opposite him, with a somewhat confused expression. stiff. He is not an actor with many facial expressions. Even when he is fierce, he is a little indifferent. If it weren't for the beard on his face and the release of Earthsea, which added some tough guy temperament to him, Jason, who used to be in the diving competition, would really look good. No idea how hard it is.

"Shao, are you sure you want to go to the Oscar competition to be a gangster? I would like to remind you very kindly that the Oscars is not a place that welcomes outsiders, even though there are people of all kinds on the Oscar stage every year. People with Chinese accents leave with a smile. But in those less important awards, there are probably a hundred times more people who leave crying. Every year, you have some directors in Hollywood when the awards season is approaching. In a few months, they will watch movies with those people in person. But...you have seen the results." Shao Yingxiong shook his head and said, "I just try my best. As for whether it can work. It's not the goal. We have a saying that success depends on people."

"I don't understand. Can't you just tell me what it means?" /p>

Just when Shao Yingxiong was about to explain, Jason suddenly stretched out his hand to say hello: "Hi, Lewis, what a coincidence, you are here too." Jason whispered: "Lewis from the Producers Guild, a veteran, even though He has nothing to offer, but he has very good connections in Hollywood."

Lewis is a fat young man. He is probably in his forties or under fifty. He likes to wear colorful suits to reflect his artistic taste: "Is there a free lunch? How do I remember that it's not awards season?"

Whenever Awards season is here.

The most popular restaurant in Hollywood will entertain them for free almost every day. The so-called free lunch does not mean that no one gives money, but that many people who are competing for Oscars will talk to them here about some things, and some of them are company talks. . However, since the Julia Roberts incident happened last year, everyone in the industry felt that they would be restrained this year, and at least it would not happen blatantly in these restaurants that are under the focus of the academy. Unexpectedly, During the awards season, I saw Jason Statham and... hey... it turned out to be Shao Yingxiong.

"Shao, it's really you. I've never met you here before. Why are you here to eat today?"

Shao Yingxiong pointed out: "Jason brought me here. They said they wanted me to meet people in the industry and at least have an understanding of Hollywood. Otherwise, after coming here for several years, people would still call me a Hollywood idiot..."

Jason Statham's eyes He stared like a bell, and his face was filled with the Western version of Dou E's injustice drama.

After saying these words, Shao Yingxiong quickly apologized to Jason with his eyes, and when the topic started to change, he secretly sent a text message to Jason Statham, which read: "I'm sorry, brother, It’s not easy for me to have a relationship with people because of my skin color.”

After taking a look, Jason put the phone aside and was about to wave his sleeves and start talking on the spot.

When Lewis looked at the mysterious two people, he already guessed that they were close to each other. He didn’t say anything and just talked about the Berlin Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival. What this guy knew. It was quite a bit. He spent the entire meal listening to him talk in plain language, and Shao Yingxiong couldn't get a word in. He only smiled occasionally, which was considered a good atmosphere.

Jason didn't take the advantage of him in vain. When he helped Shao Yingxiong, he actually recommended to the director that Shao Yingxiong guest starred in the movie "Homeland Defense".

No matter what he did, it was difficult to kick away the first and third kicks. Fortunately, with Jason's help, Shao Yingxiong ate in several restaurants in the next few days and became familiar with him. When Jason Statham evacuated due to work, Shao Yingxiong was finally able to come alone, and people he knew well came over to say hello, and he began to chat occasionally, which was a good start. From then on, Shao Yingxiong ate here almost every day for the next month. At every meal, there would always be some people who came into his sight after being introduced by others. These people may not be that important to big-name stars, and not all of them may be likely to become Oscar judges, but Shao Yingxiong insisted on not mentioning anything about the Oscars at this critical moment.

Shao Yingxiong knew this very well that no one would start talking to someone after just a month of knowing them.

In addition. Shao Yingxiong also began to appear frequently at various parties, such as birthday parties and social parties. Anyway, he never missed social occasions.

From then on, Shao Yingxiong’s work and rest time was disrupted. He also discovered a lot of things in Hollywood and heard a lot of rumors, such as who broke up with whom, who suffered domestic violence, and whose divorce lawsuit spat on the other person's face during the reconciliation process.

The incident was more interesting than the movie. What I heard the most was the tidbits about Leonardo DiCaprio. Some said that Leonardo was born with ** . Some say no. Leonardo failed to win Oscars many times. Because he was handsome, no one paid attention to his acting skills, which made him completely heartbroken. Some people say that this kid can't control his lust at all. He has become famous at a young age and still can't forget the honor that should not belong to him. There are several people in Hollywood who can both make money and win Oscars. Tom Hanks has not yet Die.

Anyway, there is anything to say. Occasionally. Shao Yingxiong can also meet some people who are in a bad mood and want someone to talk to, such as a drunk photographer, a depressed director, or someone who has written several scripts in a row and sold them, but none of them have been filmed. Become a screenwriter for a movie, or be a wild model who can become famous after spreading some scandals, there are many different types.

Shao Yingxiong doesn’t pay too much attention to this. He is still in the stage of making a good impression on these, and his daily tasks are easy. It's just a casual chat. I meet a fan who spots him passing by the restaurant and sign autographs. It's that simple.

Shao Yingxiong’s life was quite prosperous. After being in this circle for a long time, he suddenly discovered that this group of people also had their own pride. Their pride was fully reflected in the American awards season. time.

This is what Shao Yingxiong envies the most. It can even be said that Shao Yingxiong approves of this mentality.

A photographer told him: "Shao, the salary of those of us is not as good as one thousandth or even one ten thousandth of that of big-name stars. You know when we feel that we still exist." Is it worth it? It’s award season!”

“In award season, all of us will be invited as guests by those normally proud celebrities, and they will promise you anything worthy of your worth. Promise, as long as you are willing to vote for him, he will even provide you with the next job opportunity, and guarantee that the salary will be good. If you meet the lobbying master hired by the company, you are likely to get a contract. , they buy you with a long-term meal ticket that increases your salary by about 10%.”

This is a fixed income in this industry, and it is a fixed income in an industry that is not stable for a long time. But it's not an easy thing. For crew members like them, only those at the top of the pyramid have a relatively satisfactory fixed income, while others can only endure it.

"However, this kind of thing will be rejected most of the time."

Shao Yingxiong probably understood, but he still followed the words and asked: "Why?"

"Because this is our only pride." The photographer said proudly: "The consequences of one of your injustices means that you can be bribed with money throughout your life. This proves that as long as you are If you gather enough people, they can trample you with checks, and you will no longer be a proud person, but a dog that will only wag its tail and beg for mercy! ”

"Even from an economic point of view, this is very unreasonable. If you sell your dignity at a low price when your worth is low, and when your worth rises, you find that your dignity has been priced, then you have already There is no need for money, but your dignity and pride will not increase with the depreciation of the currency. The loss of reputation is the main culprit that makes you always clearly mark the price."

"Maybe you can still do it once or twice. Use your likes, just pure likes, to prove your voting criteria. But if it happens too many times, who can't see it? When you lose the qualification to be an Oscar judge, you will completely lose your use value. At that time, your value will not be the same. 0 is not, it is a negative number, so don’t expect to be successful in Hollywood."

Shao Yingxiong looked at the distant east for a moment after hearing these words, and asked frantically in his heart: "Such a simple truth. , when will you understand?”
