In the next half hour, someone else walked into the box. They were all domestic stars who came to attend the award ceremony this time. And the worst ones were second-tier stars. Several of them were kings and queens who were not as popular as Han Qiaoqiao.
.
There were twelve people sitting in the entire box. Of course, there were more than twelve domestic celebrities coming to attend the award ceremony this time, but those who were less famous were not eligible to participate in this banquet.
Celebrity managers and assistants like Zhang Yan can only rest in the lounge on one side of the box. Of course, they can also go out to eat, but none of these assistants leave because the stars need to deepen their connections.
The same goes for these agents and assistants.
Don't underestimate these assistants and agents. Stars' program announcements and commercial performances are often selected by these assistants. If your own star is not suitable for the announcement, you can also recommend it to other stars and contact that star's assistant.
For a moment, the other party will reward you if it is achieved.
…
"This time, Director Zhang and Director Li's films have both been nominated for awards. I suggest that everyone give a toast to Director Zhang and Director Li."
When everyone arrived, Zhang Liang was the first to speak. He was the one who organized the game this time. He is a domestic king-level star, and everyone present wanted to give him credit. To put it bluntly, those second-tier stars just received
I felt a little flattered by the invitation.
"Congratulations to Director Zhang, congratulations to Director Li."
"Haha, I worked with Director Li the year before last, so I knew that with Director Li's ability he would be on the Hollywood stage sooner or later."
"Congratulations in advance to Director Zhang and Director Li for winning the award."
Everyone toasted to congratulate each other, and everyone carried the sedan chair. Although it has not yet been confirmed whether they will win the award, this does not prevent them from fawning over and flattering the two directors.
There is a very strange phenomenon in the entertainment industry, that is, whether it is a director or a screenwriter, if he is not famous, he will be really miserable. He has little say in the crew and does not dare to offend the starring actors.
But if you are a well-known screenwriter and a well-known director, then the situation is exactly the opposite. Screenwriting is the job of literati, and what is a literati? It is a scholar. A famous scholar, everyone has to give some face to change the script...
…That’s impossible to change.
As for well-known directors, it's even simpler. Directors have a circle of directors. If you, an actor, dare to show off your big name in front of a well-known director, what will other directors think? Which directors would dare to use you? They will choose to filter it out when casting.
"Second toast to Jojo. This time Jojo was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress. Although there are many competitors, it is definitely a gratifying thing."
Zhang Liang raised his glass and looked at Han Qiaoqiao. Han Qiaoqiao frowned slightly. However, many people in the circle called her that. Although most of them were to show their good relationship in front of the audience, this is how the entertainment industry is. Everyone
They all wear masks and live under the halo.
"Thanks."
Han Qiaoqiao picked up the red wine glass and took a sip.
"Xiao Qiao, Sister Zhang, as someone who has experienced this, I will tell you the truth. The possibility of you winning the award this time is relatively small. After all, this is your first time being nominated for this award, and several of your competitors have already been nominated several times.
Well, another point is that there is widespread discrimination against us in the West."
This kind of words would not originally come from the mouth of a seasoned veteran like Sister Zhang who has been in the entertainment industry for decades. However, the conversation she had just had with Han Qiaoqiao made her feel a little attracted to her, so she took a precaution in advance to avoid hope later.
The greater the disappointment, the greater the disappointment.
"Zhang is right. Xiao Qiao, you are unlikely to win an award this time. However, a nomination can be regarded as establishing your reputation in the American entertainment industry. If you receive two or three more good movies in the future, you will still have a chance to win.
to receive this award.”
Hearing what Sister Zhang and Director Zhang said, Han Qiaoqiao's expression remained unchanged. She didn't have much hope of winning the award, so she immediately replied: "Actually, I haven't thought about winning the award. I just came here to experience the atmosphere of the Oscars ceremony."
"I think Sister Qiao Qiao has won even if she didn't win the award. There are many domestic female stars who can be nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress. What's more, Sister Qiao Qiao is still so young and she will definitely have a chance to win it in the future."
Listening to everyone's conversation, the corners of Zhang Liang's mouth raised slightly. He liked Han Qiaoqiao. He once pursued Han Qiaoqiao when the crew was filming, but Han Qiaoqiao didn't pay much attention to him.
However, Zhang Liang did not give up. The more cold and arrogant a woman was, the more it aroused his desire to conquer. He was confident that he could win over a woman like Han Qiaoqiao.
"I think there is no need for everyone to be so pessimistic. There are five domestic judges on the Oscar jury this time. Sister Zhang and Director Zhang are one of the judges. In addition, my uncle Joseph is also one of the judges, and he is also the winner of the Best Actress award.
Judges.”
As soon as Zhang Liang said this, everyone at the scene turned their attention to Joseph. The Oscar jury has a large number of members, nearly 7,000 people, and hundreds of stars from the domestic film and television industry have also become judges.
However, the Oscar jury cannot simply calculate based on numbers, because the more than 7,000 judges are assigned to different awards. Take Director Li as an example, as a director, he was assigned to the screenplay category.
The three most influential groups in the entire Oscar jury are the Best Director Award, Best Actor and Best Actress. These three awards are also the most competitive. If you don’t have enough connections and money, you can’t win them.
Can't come down.
Many people question the justice and fairness of domestic awards, but the Oscars are also a money-burning event. It is normal to spend tens of millions of dollars for awards. This also determines that many small-production films have no chance of winning awards.
There is no absolute fairness in this world. Those who can be nominated are all extremely outstanding works of the year, so the judges will not be criticized for whoever they vote for, and they will naturally vote for those they like or have a good relationship with.
Among the more than 7,000 Oscar judges, Chinese judges only occupy a small share, so it is naturally very difficult to win the award.
"Liang is right. I am an Oscar judge. In addition, there are a total of thirty Oscar judges in our company. Plus some of my friends, I know hundreds of Oscar judges."
Joseph spoke. He knew what Zhang Liang wanted to do. He wanted to pursue Miss Han Qiaoqiao from the East. To be honest, even by Westerners' aesthetics, Miss Han Qiaoqiao was a rare beauty.
The person in charge of production at Lion Pictures said that he knew hundreds of Oscar judges, and no one here would be surprised. Everyone just couldn't imagine why Joseph would say such a thing at this time.
"Miss Han Qiaoqiao's acting skills are obvious to all. I think it is normal to win the Best Actress award with Han Qiaoqiao's acting skills. What Miss Han Qiaoqiao lacks is just familiarity, and according to your Eastern saying, she does not show enough face. Many judges
I don’t know Miss Han Qiaoqiao very well, but I’m honored that I can just help Miss Han Qiaoqiao make up for this.”
As soon as Joseph said this, the expressions of everyone present changed. If Joseph is really willing to help, then Han Qiaoqiao may really win the Best Actress award.
If Han Qiaoqiao wins this award, her popularity in China will exceed that of all female stars, and it is not an exaggeration to call her "After the First Day".
Those present here believe that they would never refuse such a good thing, but they also know that the reason why Joseph said this is because of Zhang Liang's face. Zhang Liang's pursuit of Han Qiaoqiao is already a popular one in the industry.
It’s not a secret anymore, but I didn’t expect Zhang Liang to have such great energy.
"Mr. Joseph, thank you for your kindness, but I think it's better to forget it. This will inevitably give evidence to others."
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Han Qiaoqiao actually refused.
Yes, Han Qiaoqiao refused. Although she also wanted to get the Oscar for Best Actress, she didn't want to get it in this way. Of course, the most important thing was that she didn't want to have anything to do with Zhang Liang, or even have any hope.
Neither wants to give it to the other party.
"Qiao Qiao!" Zhang Liang was a little anxious and quickly explained: "Actually, this kind of thing is too common. Several other nominated actresses must have been working on it and trying to contact the judges. If they wait until all the judges agree,
, it will be difficult to change your mind when the time comes.”
"Zhang Liang is right, Xiao Qiao, you don't have to worry too much about these things, as long as you can get the prize." Director Zhang also started to persuade.
Everyone present spoke to persuade, but Sister Zhang remained silent. As a woman, she understood Han Qiaoqiao better than the men present. Han Qiaoqiao was not afraid that he would feel guilty for winning this award, but she did not want to accept Zhang Liang.
I have good intentions and don’t want to have anything to do with Zhang Liang.
Han Qiaoqiao frowned. Her original temperament was to go her own way. It was only after the unexpected incident that her personality changed. But now that she heard these people's constant persuasion, her anger rose slightly.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Joseph, thank you for your kindness, but I really don't need it."
Hearing Han Qiaoqiao's cold words, the room instantly became quiet. Han Qiaoqiao's "Mr. Zhang" already made it clear that Han Qiaoqiao didn't want to have anything to do with Zhang Liang at all.
Zhang Liang's face was green and white, and there was anger in his eyes. When had he been told this since he was a child? You know, although his parents have an ordinary family, he has an uncle who has huge assets in the United States, and
The most important thing is that his uncle has no descendants, so his uncle's huge property will eventually be inherited by him.
The reason why he can be so smooth in the entertainment industry is largely due to the help of his uncle. If he wants to make a movie, he will invest in the film, and if he wants to sing, he will arrange an album for him. It is with the help of his uncle that he can go
to this current position.
Therefore, although Zhang Liang is a star in the entertainment industry, in fact, he looks down on other stars at all. Other stars work hard to film and appear on programs, for what reason, to gain exposure and gain more money.
But he has already achieved the goals of these celebrities, so when he looks at other celebrities, he feels a sense of superiority and arrogance in his bones.
Being rejected mercilessly by a woman, and in front of so many big names in the industry, Zhang Liang finally couldn't help it anymore and sneered: "Han Qiaoqiao, just keep it when I give you face. You really won't give it."
